Technology remains one of the areas of the market where I see plenty of long-term growth ahead.

If I had $5,000 to invest in a Vanguard ETF today, this is one I would be happy to buy and hold for the long term.

The current AI boom needs large investment in computing power, semiconductors, cloud infrastructure, and software.

NVIDIA, for example, has become one of the suppliers of the chips used to train and run AI models.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing manufactures many of the advanced semiconductors needed across AI and other high-performance computing applications.

For me, that is one of the strengths of the VTEK ETF. Instead of trying to identify the single company that will benefit most from AI, investors can gain exposure to several businesses helping build the infrastructure behind it.

AI may be generating most of the headlines, but to not invest $5,000 in this ETF based on that theme alone.

Technology spending continues to spread through almost every part of the economy.

Its position in cloud computing and business software means it can benefit as companies invest more heavily in digital infrastructure while also introducing AI capabilities across existing products.

The Vanguard Global Technology Index ETF does that through a single ASX investment while providing exposure to a large collection of global technology companies.
