3 ASX ETFs for investors chasing long-term growth

Long-term growth often comes from backing areas of the economy that are becoming more important over time.

That does not mean trying to predict every market move. It means finding themes with durable demand, global relevance, and enough runway to keep expanding for years.

Here are three ASX exchange traded funds (ETFs) that could appeal to growth-focused investors.

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

The first ASX ETF to look at is the Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF.

Cybersecurity is now a core part of how businesses operate. Companies are moving more systems into the cloud, handling more customer data, and relying on digital payments, remote access, and online infrastructure.

That creates a bigger attack surface. It also means cybersecurity spending is becoming less discretionary.

This fund provides exposure to global companies involved in protecting networks, devices, identities, and data. Its holdings include Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO).

As cyber threats become more sophisticated, the need for security tools is unlikely to fade. This ETF offers a simple way to invest in that long-term trend.

Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)

Another ASX ETF that could suit growth investors is the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF.

Automation is spreading across more industries as companies look to improve productivity, reduce costs, and operate with greater precision.

This is not just about factory robots. It also includes medical robotics, industrial automation, sensors, machine vision, and artificial intelligence tools that help businesses make better decisions.

This fund gives investors exposure to companies operating across this ecosystem. Its holdings include Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), Keyence, and ABB (SWX: ABBN).

As labour shortages, rising costs, and efficiency demands continue to shape business investment, automation could remain a major growth theme for years. This bodes well for the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF.

VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF (ASX: ESPO)

A third ASX ETF worth a closer look is the VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF.

Gaming has become one of the world’s largest entertainment markets. It now stretches across consoles, mobile devices, online platforms, cloud gaming, esports, and digital content.

This fund provides exposure to global companies involved in video game development, gaming hardware, and related technology. Its holdings include names such as Nintendo, Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA), and Tencent Holdings (SEHK: 700).

The industry has several ways to grow. More games are becoming live services, in-game spending continues to expand, and gaming intellectual property is increasingly being used across film, merchandise, and other media.

With entertainment continuing to move online, the VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF offers exposure to a global industry with long-term growth potential.
