What is a good asset allocation for DBS digiportfolio?

I'm planning to store my investment funds in DBS Digiportfolio, and I'm thinking of diversifying them across their Asia and Global offerings. I want to get some ideas here about a good allocation. Is a simple 50/50 allocation across their Asia/Global portfolio a good idea? Or should I assign a higher allocation to my Asia one, considering the economic climate in the US currently?

The high annual fees of 0.75% are very problematic since expensive.

What You additionally do not see then is that the mutual funds (unit trusts) as well as the single ETFs of 'ETFs-based digiPortfolio' have their own annual fees (TER - total expense ratio, annual % management fee automatically priced in, but barely visible) that probably won't appear on Your account statements.

Anyway the 'Funds-based digiPortfolios' mutual funds with very high probability will have obsoletely high fees, something to avoid. So probably you will 'only' pay 0.75% per year for the managemant of your digiPortfolio, but also there will be 'invisible' annual fee integrated into the price of your mutual fund or ETF as NAV, but you cannot see this. This means lower performance.

Anyway with some information gathering everybody today can choose a cheap online brokerage (USA: already 0.00 USD account management and commission fees) and invest into very successful passive indexing products

like (VT, VOO, IVV) with annual fees less than 0.10 % !
