2 ASX ETFs to buy as the market gathers strength: expert

S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares are flat at 9,072 points as earnings season continues on Tuesday.

The benchmark index is experiencing a strong start to the new financial year.

Just seven weeks into FY27, and the ASX 200 is already up 3.3%.

That compares to a 2.8% rise over the whole of FY26 (total return, including dividends, of 7%).

Two of the drivers are the healthcare and technology sectors, which are recovering from extended slumps.

Healthcare shares are up 17% so far in FY27, while tech is up 8%.

An increasing number of Australians are turning to ASX exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to make investing easier.

ASX ETFs provide exposure to a basket of stocks, thereby enabling great diversification in a single trade.

They’re also an easy way to gain exposure to international shares via our local exchange.

In today’s rising market, Andrew Wielandt from DP Wealth Advisory has recommended two ETFs to buy.

On The Bull this week, Wielandt explains his recommendations.

Betashares Global Royalties ETF (ASX: ROYL)

The ROYL ETF is $13.89, up 0.3% on Tuesday and up 15% over 12 months.

Wielandt explained his buy rating:

ROYL is a diverse exchange traded fund operating across a number of countries, including the United States, Canada, Brazil and Denmark.

It holds about 40 companies, with investments including ARM Holdings PLC, Texas Pacific Land Corporation and Wheaton Precious Metals at August 11, 2026.

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 per cent after fees in the past 12 months to July 31, 2026.

Munro Climate Change Leaders Fund Active ETF (ASX: MCCL)

The MCCL ETF is $18.14, up 0.9% today and up 7% over 12 months.

Wielandt discusses his buy recommendation:

This exchange traded fund holds a concentrated portfolio of companies aiming to benefit from decarbonisation during the next decade.

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 per cent 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.

I hold MCCL in my self-managed super fund (SMSF).
