Where to invest $1,000 in ASX ETFs next month

If you have $1,000 ready to invest next month, you do not need to overthink it.

At that level, the goal is not precision timing. It is gaining exposure to powerful long-term themes while spreading risk sensibly. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) make that easy, giving you access to entire sectors and strategies with a single trade.

Here are three ASX ETFs to consider in March.

BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)

The BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF offers a focused way to back Australia’s homegrown tech names.

Rather than buying one or two ASX tech shares, this ETF spreads exposure across a range of local technology businesses involved in areas such as accounting software, fintech, and enterprise platforms.

Holdings include companies such as WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC), Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO), and TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE).

Australian tech shares have experienced significant volatility recently amid AI disruption concerns, but many of these businesses continue to grow revenue and expand internationally.

This could make it a great time to gain exposure to this side of the market. And with the BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF, investors can do so without having to pick a single winner.

Betashares Global Cash Flow Kings ETF (ASX: CFLO)

If you prefer something steadier, the Betashares Global Cash Flow Kings ETF could be worth considering in March.

Instead of targeting hype-driven growth, this ASX ETF screens for companies generating strong free cash flow. That cash can be reinvested into the business, returned to shareholders, or used to strengthen the balance sheet.

The portfolio includes global heavyweights such as Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Visa (NYSE: V), and ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML). These companies convert a meaningful portion of revenue into real, usable cash.

Over long periods, businesses that consistently produce cash tend to be more resilient when economic conditions tighten. It was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.

VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF (ASX: ESPO)

For investors looking for something more thematic, the VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF provides investors with easy access to the global gaming ecosystem.

This is not just about console makers. The fund holds companies across hardware, software, and chip design, including Nintendo, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD), and Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA).

Gaming has evolved from a niche hobby into one of the world’s largest entertainment industries. Digital downloads, online services, and in-game purchases have created recurring revenue streams for leading developers and publishers.

Over time, as younger generations grow up in digital environments, gaming and esports could become even more embedded in mainstream culture. This bodes well for the fund’s holdings.

It was recently recommended by analysts at VanEck.
