Where to invest $250 in ASX ETFs this month

You don’t need thousands of dollars to get started in the share market.

In fact, investing smaller amounts regularly can be one of the smartest ways to build long-term wealth, especially when you use exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

ETFs let you spread your money across dozens or even hundreds of stocks all in a single trade. That makes them ideal for investors who want diversification, global exposure, and a simple way to get their money working without having to pick individual stocks.

If you have $250 to invest this month, here are three ASX ETFs that could be worth considering.

iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)

The iShares S&P 500 ETF is a great foundation for almost any portfolio, regardless of how much you are investing. It tracks the S&P 500 index, which represents 500 of the largest and most influential stocks in the United States.

Its holdings include household names like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST), Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B), and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM). Importantly, it also includes plenty of high-quality businesses outside the mega-cap tech giants.

For a small investment, this fund offers instant exposure to the world’s most powerful economy and a long history of strong long-term returns. It is the kind of ETF you can keep adding to month after month.

VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF (ASX: ESPO)

If you want to add a growth tilt to your $250 investment, the VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF could be an exciting option. It provides investors with targeted exposure to the global video game and esports industry, which continues to grow as gaming becomes a mainstream form of entertainment.

The fund holds companies such as Tencent Holdings (SEHK: 700), Nintendo, Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA), Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO), and Roblox (NYSE: RBLX). These businesses sit at the intersection of technology, media, and consumer spending.

Overall, this ASX offers a way to invest in a high-growth theme without relying on a single company to succeed, which is especially useful when investing smaller amounts. It was recently recommended by analysts at VanEck.

VanEck China New Economy ETF (ASX: CNEW)

Finally, the VanEck China New Economy ETF could be worth a look. It offers exposure to companies that are driving China’s new economy.

There are a total of 120 fundamentally sound and attractively valued Chinese stocks across sectors such as technology, healthcare, consumer staples, and consumer discretionary. Its holdings include a broad mix of domestically focused businesses that benefit from rising incomes, urbanisation, and long-term structural change.

It was also recently recommended by analysts at VanEck.
