3 of the best ASX ETFs to buy in April

After a shaky few weeks for global markets, investors could be facing a timely opportunity to put fresh capital to work in April.

Volatility has spiked, tech stocks have taken a hit and share prices have pulled back sharply from recent highs — but for long-term investors, these conditions can often lead to the most rewarding entry points.

If you're looking to add some ASX exchange traded funds (ETFs) to your investment portfolio in April, then it could be worth checking out the three named below. Here's why they could be top picks for investors next month:

BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)

The first ASX ETF to consider buying is the BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF. It gives investors exposure to some of Australia's most promising technology companies — a sector that's been hit hard in the recent market selloff but could offer attractive upside as confidence returns.

The fund holds a host of high-growth names such as WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC), Xero Limited (ASX: XRO), and TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE), which are leaders in logistics software, cloud accounting, and enterprise software. While tech shares are sensitive to short-term sentiment, the long-term trends supporting digital transformation remain intact.

The team at Betashares recently tipped this ASX ETF as one to buy.

iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)

The popular iShares S&P 500 ETF tracks the performance of the famous S&P 500 Index, giving investors exposure to 500 of the largest listed companies in the United States.

This includes global giants such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), UnitedHealth Group Inc (NYSE: UNW), and JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM) — businesses that are shaping the future of technology, healthcare, and finance.

Wall Street has been under pressure recently and it could be worth taking advantage with this ASX ETF. After all, it provides a low-cost, broad-based entry into the world's largest and most dynamic economy. It is also a strong core holding for investors looking to diversify beyond Australian shores.

For those building a global portfolio, the iShares S&P 500 ETF arguably remains one of the best set-and-forget options on the ASX.

VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

Finally, a third ASX ETF for investors to look at in April is VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. It is a US-focused ETF that invests in high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages or wide economic moats. The fund also applies a valuation screen to ensure it is not overpaying for growth.

Current holdings include Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) and Nike (NYSE: NKE), among others — businesses that dominate their industries and generate durable, above-average returns.

Overall, this fund could be a good option for long-term investors who value quality, resilience, and disciplined portfolio construction.
