The article, shortened and in plain language

If I had $10,000 to invest in Vanguard exchange-traded funds today, these three would be on my shortlist.

Each offers a different way to invest for long-term growth.

The Vanguard Global Technology Index ETF would be my choice for investors wanting more exposure to global technology.

The fund invests in hundreds of technology stocks across developed and emerging markets.

Businesses are spending heavily on computing power, automation, cybersecurity, and digital services, and that trend to continue for many years.

Of course, a technology-focused ETF can be volatile, when valuations are high or growth expectations change.

For me, that opens the door to a different set of long-term opportunities.

Asia is home to some of the world's largest populations, rapidly developing consumer markets, and businesses across technology, manufacturing, financial services, and other industries.

The region has plenty of potential over the next decade, and the VAE ETF provides a way to gain diversified exposure.

The Vanguard Diversified High Growth Index ETF takes a different approach.

Around 90% of the portfolio is generally allocated to growth assets such as shares, with the remainder in more defensive investments.
