If you have $1,000 available to invest in the share market in January, then you may want to consider the ASX exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in this article.
Let's see why they could be top options and what sort of companies they provide investors with access to right now. Here's what you need to know about these funds:
The BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF could be a great way to gain exposure to the crypto industry without having to buy coins.
This ASX ETF allows investors to invest in the crypto ecosystem by providing easy access to cryptocurrency exchanges, crypto mining companies, and mining equipment firms. It also includes companies with balance sheets that are held at least 75% in crypto assets and diversified companies with crypto-focused business lines.
Among its ~50 holdings are Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN), Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ: RIOT), and Microstrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR).
Another ASX ETF for investors to look at in January is the iShares Global Consumer Staples ETF.
Unlike the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF, which is suitable for high risk investors, this fund is a good option for those with a low tolerance for risk.
That's because it gives investors exposure to many of the world's largest consumer staples companies. These are generally regarded as lower risk investments that deliver steady returns rather than anything explosive.
Among the fund's holdings are global giants Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), Nestle, and Unilever (NYSE: UL).
Another ASX ETF that could be a good option for a $1,000 investment is the BetaShares Cloud Computing ETF.
Betashares recently tipped this fund as one to buy. It notes that "cloud computing has been one of the strongest-growing segments of the technology sector, and given much of the world's digital data and software applications are still maintained outside the cloud, continued strong growth has been forecast."
Its holdings include Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), Snowflake Inc (NYSE: SNOW), and Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM).
Finally, the Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF could be a good place to invest $1,000 in January.
That's the view of Betashares' chief economist, which named the ASX ETF as one to buy. It isn't hard to see why, either.
It's never a bad idea to invest in high quality companies and this fund brings the best of the best together from across the globe. This includes Visa (NYSE: V), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), ASML Holdings (NASDAQ: ASML), and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX).
