3 excellent ASX ETFs to buy before it's too late

It certainly has been a volatile period for investors, with trade tensions causing markets to tumble.

But as seasoned investors know, these are often the moments when long-term opportunities quietly emerge — and some exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are now looking more attractive than they have in months.

If you believe the next market rebound is just a matter of time (and history tends to agree), the three ASX ETFs listed below could be smart additions to a portfolio — especially while prices are still off their highs.

Here are three excellent ASX ETFs to consider buying before it's too late.

Betashares Australian Momentum ETF (ASX: MTUM)

Momentum often leads the market out of a correction, and the Betashares Australian Momentum ETF is perfectly positioned to catch that wave. This ASX ETF uses a strategy that targets Aussie stocks with strong recent price momentum, meaning it naturally leans toward companies showing resilience and relative strength.

Right now, that includes names such as Pro Medicus Ltd (ASX: PME), Goodman Group (ASX: GMG), and Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA).

It is a tactical play that has historically performed well during early recovery phases — just when other investors are still licking their wounds. With the broader ASX still down from its highs, this fund could be an appealing way to capitalise on a rebound without having to pick individual winners.

VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

If you're after high-quality U.S. companies with sustainable competitive advantages, look no further than the VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. This ASX ETF holds a curated portfolio of wide moat stocks — businesses that have sustainable competitive edges and attractive valuations.

Think companies like Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG), along with lesser-known but incredibly profitable names like Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (NYSE: TMO) and Equifax Inc (NYSE: EFX). Many of these businesses have weathered economic downturns before and come out stronger.

The VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF offers a unique blend of growth potential and downside protection, and with the recent market pullback on Wall Street, you're getting access to some of the world's best companies at more reasonable prices.

Betashares Cloud Computing ETF (ASX: CLDD)

Finally, cloud computing is the backbone of modern digital infrastructure — and demand is only accelerating. The Betashares Cloud Computing ETF gives investors exposure to a diversified basket of global cloud leaders. This includes Twilio (NYSE: TWLO), and Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP), along with up-and-coming names you might not find in traditional indexes.

Tech has been hit hard in recent months, which means that valuations have come down to more palatable levels, especially for long-term investors. The cloud space remains a powerful megatrend, underpinned by enterprise digital transformation, AI integration, and growing demand for scalable software solutions.
