3 ASX ETFs for investors seeking diversified exposure

Diversifying beyond Australia can help investors access some of the world's best companies and reduce reliance on a single economy while also benefit from long-term global innovation and economic growth trends. 

The following three ASX ETFs provide convenient exposure to international markets and can help build a more diversified portfolio with access to high-quality global businesses and structural growth opportunities.

VanEck MSCI International Quality ETF (ASX: QUAL)

is one of the best ASX ETFs for global equities and will provide exposure to around 302 high quality international companies which are selected based on their strong return on equity along with earnings stability and low financial leverage.
The ETF will give investors broad exposure to developed markets and the United States represents 75.68% of the portfolio.

The management fee is just 0.40% per annum which has made it a low-cost way to invest in many of the world's highest quality businesses.
Its long-term performance has been great as the fund generated a 15.26% annualised total return since inception and a 14.62% annualised return over the past 10 years.

QUAL is an attractive investment option for investors who seek a diversified portfolio of global companies that have durable competitive advantages and consistent earnings growth.

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA) 

is considered one of the leading ASX ETFs for global equity exposure as it will provide access to 50 of the largest technology and internet companies across Asia excluding Japan.
The fund has a management fee of 0.57% per annum plus estimated expenses of 0.10% which allows investors to access one of the world's best technology markets through a single ASX-listed investment.

Its portfolio is highly focused on Asia's major technology centres as South Korea represents 38.7% of holdings followed by Taiwan at 36.7% and China at 20.5% while semiconductors account for the largest sector allocation at 38.9%.

This reflects the ETF's substantial exposure to the global artificial intelligence and technology supply chain and supports its participation in key long-term industry trends.

The ETF has generated a strong annualised return of 16.47% since inception and offers investors diversified exposure to artificial intelligence, semiconductors and e-commerce across Asia while being well placed to benefit from the region's growing technological leadership and long-term economic expansion.

Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF (ASX: QLTY)

The ETF has a low management fee of 0.29% per annum while expenses are capped at 0.06% which helps keep costs low and provides diversification across a range of sectors and developed markets.

The portfolio has a strong weighting towards the United States at 70.7% followed by Japan at 12.1% while Information Technology is the largest sector exposure at 33.1% ahead of Industrials at 16.4% and Health Care at 15.7%.

Major holdings include UnitedHealth Group, Arista Networks and Alphabet which gives investors access to some of the world's most profitable and financially resilient companies.
The ETF since inception has generated an annualised return of 12.93% and its focus on quality companies has historically resulted in lower drawdowns during market corrections when compared with broader global equity benchmarks.
