Tech has not been comfortable to own lately. Artificial intelligence (AI) disruption fears and a sudden market rotation have made growth investors question their convictions, but volatility and opportunity often arrive together.
But if you believe that this selloff is a temporary hiccup, then it could be worth considering the ASX exchange traded funds (ETFs) in this article before they rebound.
Here’s what you need to know about them:
Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF is often described as a simple way to invest in US tech giants. That is true, but it misses something important.
The Nasdaq 100 is not just a collection of software companies. It is a portfolio of businesses that sit at the core of digital infrastructure. Think Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL).
These companies are not fringe innovators. They are building the operating systems of the modern economy. Nvidia designs the chips powering AI data centres, Microsoft’s cloud platform underpins enterprise IT, and Alphabet dominates digital advertising and search.
If artificial intelligence, automation, and cloud adoption continue expanding, the companies inside the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF could benefit as central players.
BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)
Instead of Silicon Valley, this ASX ETF focuses on Australian technology leaders such as WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC), Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO), and TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE).
These businesses are building globally competitive software platforms from Australia. They serve logistics companies, accountants, governments, and enterprises around the world.
The BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF provides exposure to that ambition. It reflects the idea that innovation does not have to come exclusively from the United States. Australia has its own cohort of scalable, recurring-revenue businesses expanding offshore.
In periods of tech selloffs, local growth names can be hit hard. That can create long-term entry points for investors who believe in their global potential. This fund was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.
Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF offers exposure to a very specific problem that is not going away.
Cyber threats are increasing in frequency and sophistication. As digital infrastructure expands, so does the attack surface.
This ASX ETF holds shares such as CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), and Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT). These firms are effectively digital security providers for governments and corporations.
Unlike many areas of tech spending, cybersecurity is rarely optional. Even when budgets tighten, protecting networks remains a priority. This bodes well for the long-term growth outlooks of the fund’s holdings.
