I believe that making long-term investments in ASX shares is one of the best ways to grow your wealth.

This is because long-term investing takes advantage of the power of compounding, which is what happens when you generate returns on top of returns.

But if you’re not comfortable stock-picking, don’t let that put you off investing. That’s because there are exchange-traded funds (ETFs) out there to make things easier for you.

ETFs allow investors to buy a collection of shares through a single investment. In many cases, this can provide instant diversification for a portfolio.

But which ASX ETFs could be great options for buy and hold investors? Three to consider are listed below:

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

The BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF could be a great buy and hold option for investors.

With worldwide spending on cybersecurity predicted to increase materially in the future, this bodes well for the companies included in this fund. These companies, which are working to reduce the impact of cybercrime globally, include Accenture, Cisco, Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, Okta, and Palo Alto Networks.

BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

Another ASX ETF that could be a top buy and hold option is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF.

This hugely popular ETF gives investors access to the 100 largest non-financial shares on the famous NASDAQ index. These are many of the largest companies in the world such as Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Tesla. Collectively, these 100 companies appear well-placed for growth over the long term, which bodes well for this ETF.

VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

A final ASX ETF to look at is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. This ETF allows investors to invest in the style of Warren Buffett by offering access to a diverse group of high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages and fair valuations.

The ETF contains approximately 50 shares with these qualities, including the likes of Alphabet, Boeing, Kellogg Co, and Walt Disney.

Suzanne Frey, an executive at Alphabet, is a member of The Motley Fool’s board of directors. Randi Zuckerberg, a former director of market development and spokeswoman for Facebook and sister to Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is a member of The Motley Fool's board of directors. John Mackey, former CEO of Whole Foods Market, an Amazon subsidiary, is a member of The Motley Fool’s board of directors. Motley Fool contributor James Mickleboro has positions in BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF. The Motley Fool Australia's parent company Motley Fool Holdings Inc. has positions in and has recommended Accenture Plc, Alphabet, Amazon.com, Apple, BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF, BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF, Cisco Systems, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Okta, Palo Alto Networks, Tesla, and Walt Disney. The Motley Fool Australia's parent company Motley Fool Holdings Inc. has recommended the following options: long January 2025 $290 calls on Accenture Plc and short January 2025 $310 calls on Accenture Plc. The Motley Fool Australia has positions in and has recommended BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF and BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF. The Motley Fool Australia has recommended Alphabet, Amazon.com, Apple, CrowdStrike, Meta Platforms, Okta, VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF, and Walt Disney. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.
