Expert names 1 ASX ETF to buy and 1 to hold

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to grow in popularity and it isn’t hard to understand why.

They allow investors to buy groups of shares with a single click of the button, removing the need for stock picking.

But with so many out there, it can be hard to decide which ones to buy over others.

The good news is the team at DP Wealth Advisory has narrowed things down by revealing one ASX ETF it would buy and one it would hold, courtesy of The Bull.

Here’s what it is recommending this week:

Munro Concentrated Global Growth Active ETF (ASX: MCGG)

DP Wealth Advisory has named the Munro Concentrated Global Growth Active ETF as a buy this week.

This fund provides an easy way for investors to gain access to an actively managed portfolio of 20-40 global growth equities.

This includes some of the most innovative and fastest growing companies in the world today, such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Mastercard (NYSE: MA), and Airbus (ETR: AIR).

Commenting on the fund, DP Wealth Advisory said:

This exchange traded fund holds between 20 and 40 global equities. It invests in North America, Asia and Europe. Holdings include Nvidia, CATL and TSMC. Sectors it invests in include connectivity, climate and high performance computing.

It generated returns of 23.3 per cent in the past year to April 30, 2026. Company performance has been strong since listing in February 2022. The price of the ETF has been enjoying strong momentum since April 1, 2026 and we expect this trend to continue moving forward. I hold this ETF in my self managed super fund.

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

The team at DP Wealth Advisory has named the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF as a hold this week.

This hugely popular ASX ETF provides investors with access to over 1,000 global stocks, including many of the best companies in the world.

DP Wealth Advisory highlights that the concentration of US technology stocks in this fund could weigh on returns given concerns over their valuations. It explains:

This exchange traded fund provides investors with passive exposure to the Morgan Stanley Capital Index (sic) (MSCI), comprising more than 1500 of the world’s largest companies, excluding Australia. The fund is heavily exposed to the United States and holds names such as Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft. The ETF is exposed to fluctuations in the Australian dollar. Performance has been sound in the past 12 months. However, a heavy concentration of US technology stocks, and associated concerns about their valuations leave VGS a hold for now.
