Top 10 technology ETFs in Australia to watch in 2026

By Stake Desk11 min read

Most of these funds look offshore for their holdings. ATEC's index draws its constituents entirely from companies listed on the ASX.

A technology ETF tracks an index of tech-sector companies and trades on the ASX like a stock. The ten funds here cover very different ground – the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF ($NDQ) is designed to track 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq, while the Global X Fang+ ETF ($FANG) holds just ten equal-weighted growth stocks.

How we built this list: We selected these funds based on their industry or investment category and ordered them by assets under management. Prices are updated daily, and the list and supporting content are reviewed roughly every quarter. All data is sourced from Stake. This list isn't a recommendation and isn't ordered by suitability.

1. Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF ($NDQ)

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (NDQ) 1-year price chart, up 11.9% (A$53.28 to A$59.62).

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (NDQ) share price over the last year: started at A$53.28, ended at A$59.62, a change of +11.9%. Range over the period: high A$64.12, low A$49.71. Source: Stake market data. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Price: $59.62 · Daily: -1.2% · AUM: $8.88B · MER: 0.48%

The Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF ($NDQ) aims to track the Nasdaq 100 Index, which covers 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, weighted by market capitalisation. That universe spans both U.S. and international companies, across sectors including computer hardware and software, telecommunications, retail and wholesale trade, and biotechnology.

Financial companies – including investment companies – are excluded from the index. That boundary shapes the overall sector composition of what $NDQ holds. The fund aims to match the index's performance before taking into account fees and expenses.

2. Global X Fang+ ETF ($FANG)

Global X Fang+ ETF (FANG) 1-year price chart, up 2.2% (A$34.33 to A$35.07).

Global X Fang+ ETF (FANG) share price over the last year: started at A$34.33, ended at A$35.07, a change of +2.2%. Range over the period: high A$38.58, low A$28.53. Source: Stake market data. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Price: $35.07 · Daily: -1.2% · AUM: $1.65B · MER: 0.35%

With just ten holdings, the Global X FANG+ ETF ($FANG) covers a narrow slice of the market. It aims to track the NYSE FANG+ Index – a rules-based benchmark of highly-traded growth stocks across the technology, media & communications and consumer discretionary sectors. Equal weighting means each of the ten names carries roughly the same allocation at rebalancing, rather than being sized by market capitalisation.

That concentrated structure means any single stock has a real effect on how $FANG performs. With only ten holdings in the portfolio, individual company results carry more weight than they would in a fund holding hundreds of stocks.

3. Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF ($HACK)

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (HACK) 1-year price chart, up 11.9% (A$14.84 to A$16.61).

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (HACK) share price over the last year: started at A$14.84, ended at A$16.61, a change of +11.9%. Range over the period: high A$18.38, low A$11.33. Source: Stake market data. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Price: $16.61 · Daily: -3.1% · AUM: $1.54B · MER: 0.67%

The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF ($HACK) is designed to track the Nasdaq CTA Cybersecurity Index, which covers companies involved in building, implementing and managing security protocols across private and public networks, computers and mobile devices.

The index draws from both the technology and industrial sectors, focusing on businesses whose primary work centres on protecting data integrity and network operations. With $1.54B in assets under management and a MER of 0.67%, $HACK concentrates its exposure on a defined slice of the tech landscape rather than the broader market.

4. Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF ($ASIA)

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASIA) 1-year price chart, up 59.3% (A$12.74 to A$20.30).

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASIA) share price over the last year: started at A$12.74, ended at A$20.30, a change of +59.3%. Range over the period: high A$23.81, low A$12.45. Source: Stake market data. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Price: $20.30 · Daily: 0.5% · AUM: $1.37B · MER: 0.67%

The Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF ($ASIA) is designed to track the Solactive Asia ex-Japan Technology & Internet Tigers Index. The index holds the top 50 technology and online retail stocks from companies whose main area of business is in Asia, excluding Japan, selected by free float market capitalisation.

The portfolio holds exactly 50 stocks, concentrated within one region and two closely related sectors. That construction gives the fund a distinct geographic focus compared to the U.S.-heavy names that dominate much of this article.

5. Global X Semiconductor ETF ($SEMI)

Global X Semiconductor ETF (SEMI) 1-year price chart, up 94.8% (A$18.22 to A$35.49).

Global X Semiconductor ETF (SEMI) share price over the last year: started at A$18.22, ended at A$35.49, a change of +94.8%. Range over the period: high A$47.10, low A$17.65. Source: Stake market data. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Price: $35.49 · Daily: 0.2% · AUM: $961.3M · MER: 0.45%

Global X Semiconductor ETF ($SEMI) is designed to track the Solactive Global Semiconductor 30 Index, which aims to represent companies with operations across the global semiconductor industry. The index focuses on 30 names, so the portfolio is relatively concentrated compared to broader market funds.

Semiconductors sit at the base of most modern electronics – chips go into everything from phones to data centres to cars. The fund's narrow sector focus means its fortunes tend to move closely with demand for those components, which can amplify both gains and losses relative to a broader technology index.

6. BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF ($ATEC)

BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ATEC) 1-year price chart, down 28.1% (A$32.86 to A$23.63).

BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ATEC) share price over the last year: started at A$32.86, ended at A$23.63, a change of −28.1%. Range over the period: high A$33.29, low A$18.99. Source: Stake market data. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Price: $23.63 · Daily: -1.0% · AUM: $644.9M · MER: 0.48%

The BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF ($ATEC) is designed to track the S&P/ASX All Technology Index, which covers the largest technology-focused companies listed on the ASX, weighted by float-adjusted market capitalisation. Rather than reaching offshore for tech exposure, the index draws its constituents entirely from domestic listings. $ATEC aims to match that index's performance before fees and expenses are taken into account.

7. Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF ($ACDC)

Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF (ACDC) 1-year price chart, up 19.5% (A$106.36 to A$127.06).

Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF (ACDC) share price over the last year: started at A$106.36, ended at A$127.06, a change of +19.5%. Range over the period: high A$182.70, low A$103.27. Source: Stake market data. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Price: $127.06 · Daily: -1.1% · AUM: $637.3M · MER: 0.69%

Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF ($ACDC) is designed to track the Solactive Battery Value-Chain Index, which covers two distinct parts of the battery supply chain. One side holds companies involved in electro-chemical energy storage technology – the battery makers and technology providers. The other holds mining companies that produce metals used in manufacturing batteries.

With an AUM of $637.3M and a MER of 0.69%, $ACDC gives exposure to the full production chain rather than a single segment of it. The index aims to capture both the materials side and the technology side in a single fund.

8. Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF ($TECH)

Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF (TECH) 1-year price chart, up 10.1% (A$108.14 to A$119.05).

Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF (TECH) share price over the last year: started at A$108.14, ended at A$119.05, a change of +10.1%. Range over the period: high A$124.58, low A$81.49. Source: Stake market data. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Price: $119.05 · Daily: -0.6% · AUM: $343.5M · MER: 0.45%

The fund is designed to track the Morningstar Developed Markets Technology Moat Focus Index, which selects technology companies from global developed markets. Two criteria determine whether a company makes the index: a Morningstar Economic Moat Rating of 'wide' or 'narrow', and a market price that sits below Morningstar's own fair value estimate. Morningstar assigns moat ratings to companies it considers to have durable competitive advantages, so the index combines a quality filter with a valuation screen.

9. BetaShares Global Robotics and AI ETF ($RBTZ)

BetaShares Global Robotics and AI ETF (RBTZ) 1-year price chart, down 4.6% (A$14.76 to A$14.08).

BetaShares Global Robotics and AI ETF (RBTZ) share price over the last year: started at A$14.76, ended at A$14.08, a change of −4.6%. Range over the period: high A$16.47, low A$13.25. Source: Stake market data. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Price: $14.08 · Daily: -2.2% · AUM: $296.7M · MER: 0.57%

The BetaShares Global Robotics and AI ETF ($RBTZ) is designed to track the Indxx Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index, which covers equity securities of companies listed in developed markets expected to benefit from the adoption of robotics and AI. That scope takes in a broad set of sub-themes: industrial robotics and automation, non-industrial robots, artificial intelligence, and unmanned vehicles.

The fund's mandate is thematic rather than geographic – it's the business activity that qualifies a company for inclusion, not where it's headquartered, as long as it's listed in a developed market. $RBTZ holds $296.7M in assets and carries a 0.57% management expense ratio. As with any thematic fund, the portfolio can be concentrated in a narrower slice of the market than a broad-index alternative.

10. VanEck Video Gaming and Esports AUD ETF ($ESPO)

VanEck Video Gaming and Esports AUD ETF (ESPO) 1-year price chart, down 31.1% (A$21.12 to A$14.55).

VanEck Video Gaming and Esports AUD ETF (ESPO) share price over the last year: started at A$21.12, ended at A$14.55, a change of −31.1%. Range over the period: high A$22.14, low A$13.50. Source: Stake market data. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Price: $14.55 · Daily: -1.4% · AUM: $74.7M · MER: 0.55%

Video gaming and esports sit at the intersection of entertainment and technology. VanEck Video Gaming and Esports AUD ETF ($ESPO) aims to track a reference index of global companies across this space. The index covers video game development, competitive esports, and the hardware and software that support both.

That mandate pulls in studios developing titles, organisations running professional leagues, and technology suppliers behind competitive play. $ESPO holds these companies through a single portfolio, with the reference index reaching businesses across different geographies within the gaming industry.

Common questions

How do I invest in technology ETFs in Australia?

Every fund in this list trades on the ASX, so you can buy them through a share trading platform the same way you'd buy an individual stock. Search the ticker, place an order during market hours, and the fund holds the underlying companies on your behalf. Some track broad indexes covering many companies across the technology sector; others concentrate on one corner of it – semiconductors, cybersecurity, robotics, or gaming.

What are the key risks of technology ETFs?

Tech-focused funds are concentrated in one sector by definition, so a broad downturn in technology flows through the whole portfolio with nothing else to cushion it. Most funds in this list hold overseas companies, which means movements between the Australian dollar and those holdings' local currencies affect returns. Thematic funds narrow the exposure further – a fund focused entirely on gaming or battery technology moves with the fortunes of that specific segment, not technology as a whole.

What's the difference between broad tech ETFs and thematic ones?

Broad funds track large indexes covering many companies across the technology sector, spreading exposure across a wide range of holdings. Thematic funds zero in on one segment – semiconductors, cybersecurity, AI and robotics, gaming, or battery technology – so their performance depends much more tightly on how that particular area behaves. This list includes both types, and mapping that distinction is more useful than comparing them on fees or size alone.
