3 ASX ETFs to Buy in February

Diversification is one of the most essential tools for risk adjusted investing and these three ASX ETFs will improve your portfolios as they provide broad exposure across different sectors, regions and trends.

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK) will provide you with focused exposure to the global cybersecurity sector which has become more important with the expansion of digital infrastructure.

The ETF tracks the Nasdaq Consumer Technology Association Cybersecurity Index and holds 32 leading cybersecurity companies across software, infrastructure and semiconductor security solutions.

As artificial intelligence increases data creation and cloud usage, demand for cybersecurity products is expected to rise which reflects the need for enterprises to protect networks, applications and sensitive information.

Key holdings include Cisco Systems, Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike and Broadcom which provides exposure to both established security leaders and cloud-based platforms.

The fund charges a management fee of 0.57% per annum with additional expenses of about 0.10% and long-term performance is expected to remain stable supported by recurring revenue models and the essential nature of cybersecurity services.

Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF (ASX: ACDC)

Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF (ASX: ACDC) will provide exposure to companies that operate across the full battery value chain which includes lithium mining, refining, battery production and energy storage solutions.

The fund tracks the Solactive Battery Value-Chain Index which covers businesses involved in electrochemical storage technology along with miners that produce battery grade lithium.

Battery technology plays a key role in the global shift toward electric vehicles, renewable energy storage and wider electrification which makes lithium and related materials important for long-term growth.

ACDC follows an unconstrained approach across sectors and regions with allocations of 36.6% to Industrials, 35.7% to Materials and 16.8% to Consumer Discretionary.

The portfolio is diversified across the United States, China, Japan and Australia along with other major battery markets and as at 31 December 2025 the fund held 45 companies while expense ratio is 0.69% per annum.

Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF (ASX: VAS)

Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF (ASX: VAS) is one of the most widely held core ETFs on the ASX which gives low cost and diversified exposure to the S&P/ASX 300 Index.

The fund holds Australian companies across large, mid and small caps which gives broad access to the domestic equity market at a management fee of 0.07% per annum.

Top holdings include Commonwealth Bank, BHP Group, Westpac, National Australia Bank and CSL which together make up about 45% of the portfolio as of 31 December 2025.

Financials lead the sector mix at 32.8% followed by Materials at 23.1% which means returns are closely linked to Australia’s banking system and the commodity cycle, and the ETF pays income on a quarterly basis and current annual yield is 2.96%.

For long-term investors who want simple and low-cost exposure to the Australian share market with a mix of capital growth and dividend income, VAS is one of the best options available.
