Global share markets have been under significant pressure recently, with trade war concerns rattling investor confidence. But while short-term selloffs can be painful, they can also present golden opportunities for long-term investors.
If you've been waiting for a chance to buy quality exchange-traded funds (ETFs) at discounted prices, now could be the time to pounce.
Here are five quality ASX ETFs that could be worth buying after the recent market selloff.

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
Asian technology stocks have taken a little bit of a hit during the market selloff, but history suggests that strong, innovative companies bounce back. The Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF gives investors exposure to some of the region's biggest tech giants, including Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, and PDD Holdings.
Many of these companies are well-positioned to benefit from the long-term growth of digitalisation, e-commerce, and artificial intelligence in Asia. With valuations now lower, this ASX ETF could be a smart buy for investors looking for high-growth opportunities.
Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The Nasdaq 100 has been caught up in the recent selloff, largely due to fears around trade tariffs and their potential impact on the US economy. However, long-term investors know that this index has a strong track record of recovery.
The Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF gives Aussie investors exposure to some of the most dominant technology and growth companies in the world. This includes Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA).
VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)
Buying quality businesses with durable competitive advantages has been a winning strategy for decades, and the VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF is built on that principle. This fund focuses on companies that have significant economic moats, meaning they are well-protected from competitors.
The fund's portfolio includes high-quality names like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B), and Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS), all of which have strong brand power and pricing advantages. The selloff arguably makes it a very appealing option for investors looking for a mix of growth and resilience.
BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)
The Australian technology sector has been hit particularly hard during the recent market downturn, with many leading names falling significantly from their highs. However, this could be a case of short-term panic creating long-term opportunities.
This ASX offers exposure to Australia's best tech stocks, including WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WBC) and Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO). With AI-driven innovation continuing to accelerate, this fund could be a great way to capitalise on the recovery of the local tech sector. Betashares recently tipped it as a buy.
Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)
For investors seeking broad international diversification, the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF could an excellent option. This fund tracks the MSCI World Index, providing exposure to over 1,400 companies across developed markets, including the US, Europe, and Japan.
With global stock markets pulling back, now could be a great time to gain exposure to high-quality companies at lower prices. This ASX ETF offers long-term growth potential while spreading risk across a wide range of industries and economies.
