# The 10 ETFs and what they do

iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)

Tracks 500 of America's largest listed companies. Use IVV to gain broad exposure to leading US sectors such as technology, healthcare, financials, and consumer goods. It can serve as a core holding for long-term global equity exposure.

Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF (ASX: VAS)

Tracks the S&P/ASX 300, offering a broad slice of the Australian market. VAS provides exposure to local equities and the associated dividend profile and franking credits that matter for Australian income investors.

Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Shares Index ETF (ASX: VEU)

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

Invests in the 100 largest non-financial Nasdaq-listed companies. NDQ targets technology, software, cloud, AI-related firms, and other Nasdaq-heavy sectors for growth-oriented exposure.

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

Focuses on leading Asian technology companies across semiconductors, e-commerce, gaming, hardware, and digital platforms. ASIA is for investors who want concentrated exposure to Asian tech markets.

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

Targets companies providing cybersecurity products and services. HACK aligns with ongoing demand for network, cloud, and data protection as organisations adopt more digital and AI tools.

Global X AI Infrastructure ETF (ASX: AINF)

Tracks companies building the physical and technical infrastructure that supports artificial intelligence — semiconductors, data-centre equipment, networking, and power/cooling systems. AINF is theme-focused on the AI supply chain rather than end-user AI applications.

VanEck MSCI International Quality ETF (ASX: QUAL)

Invests in international firms with strong profitability, healthy balance sheets, and stable earnings. QUAL offers a quality-factor approach for investors seeking financially resilient companies rather than broad market weights.

VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

Concentrates on US companies identified as having sustainable competitive advantages and attractive valuations. MOAT is aimed at investors searching for durable business franchises.

Betashares Global Cash Flow Kings ETF (ASX: CFLO)

Provides exposure to companies generating strong free cash flow. CFLO is suited to investors who prioritise firms with financial flexibility to pay dividends, reduce debt, repurchase shares, or invest in growth.

# How an investor might use this list Consider three portfolio roles when evaluating these ETFs: a) core broad-market holdings (IVV, VEU, VAS), b) growth and thematic tilts (NDQ, ASIA, AINF, HACK), and c) defensive or income-oriented tilts (QUAL, MOAT, CFLO). Mix depends on your existing regional exposure, risk tolerance, and whether you prioritise growth, quality, or cash-flow characteristics.

# Final practical point These ETFs cover distinct exposures rather than duplicating the same market slice. Cross-check overlap (for example, how much US equity exposure sits inside your international funds) before building positions so you manage concentration and diversify in line with your objectives.
