ASX ETFs, or exchange traded funds, provide a handy one-stop-shop for Aussie investors seeking to gain exposure to a basket of stocks with a single investment.
Rather than having to research and buy multiple stocks, you can get that diversity, and more, from an ETF.
Below we look at two ETFs that DP Wealth Advisory’s Andrew Wielandt recently issued buy recommendations for (courtesy of The Bull).
ASX ETF offers international stock exposure
The first ASX ETF Wielandt has a bullish outlook on is Betashares Global Royalties ETF (ASX: ROYL).
“ROYL is a diverse exchange traded fund operating across a number of countries, including the United States, Canada, Brazil and Denmark,” he said.
“It holds about 40 companies, with investments including ARM Holdings PLC, Texas Pacific Land Corporation and Wheaton Precious Metals at August 11, 2026,” he added.
Summarising his buy recommendation on ROYL, Wielandt concluded:
ROYL focuses on companies earning royalty and intellectual property income. What appeals is relatively steady returns compared to other cyclical investments. The company posted a return of 15.59% after fees in the past 12 months to July 31, 2026.
Which brings us toâ¦
Exchange traded fund with an ESG bent
The second ASX ETF Wielandt recommends buying will hold particular appeal to investors who place a high value on companies’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.
The fund in question is the Munro Climate Change Leaders Fund Active ETF (ASX: MCCL), which Wielandt noted that he holds in is own self-managed super fund.
“This exchange traded fund holds a concentrated portfolio of companies aiming to benefit from decarbonisation during the next decade,” he said.
According to Wielandt:
The ETF holds between 15 and 25 positions involved in clean energy, clean transport and energy efficiency. The fund posted a return of 16.9% for the 12 months to July 31, 2026. However, given its highly concentrated nature, it’s important to note that returns can be volatile.
In our view, MCCL can also be considered an investment in the future and can be part of a balanced portfolio.
A bonus passive income ETF
If it’s passive income you’re targeting, then you might want to look into the BetaShares Australian Dividend Harvester Fund (ASX: HVST).
This ASX ETF gives investors instant exposure 40 to 60 high-yielding, blue-chip ASX shares.
And HVST pays out dividends every month, so your next income payout is never too far away.
As at 31 July the HVST had 12-month trailing yield of 5.6%, 63% franked. Taking those franking credits into account, the grossed-up yield comes out to 7.1%.
