With only $10k to invest, and looking at Irish-domiciled ETFs, is VWRA or SWRD/IWDA + EIMI a better choice if using SCB Trading Account? Not sure on how the commission charges work?
Personally, I would prefer some exposure to developing markets. While I am leaning towards the SWRD + EIMI combo because of the lower expense ratio, I'm not exactly sure how trading on SCB works - suppose I want to do a 90%/10% ratio, does that mean I will incur 2 separate commission charges? Which means, do I incur 0.25% of $9,000 for SWRD + the USD$10 for EIMI? If that's the case, then I was thinking VWRA might actually be cheaper since I don't incur the extra USD$10 from another trade.

They generally charge 0.25% trading fees (minimum 10 SGD) on London Stock Exchange for Ireland domiciled ETFs
consider also SPYY / ACWI

Yes you end up incurring 2 sets of trading commissions which is why it might be better for you to just purchase VWRA alone, or just SWRD and skip EIMI altogether.
When you’re just starting out, EIMI makes up such a small portion of your portfolio that it doesn’t make much sense to incur additional costs just to include it.
Alternatively, if you plan on contributing to this portfolio regularly, going forward, you could just alternate your purchases between SWRD and buy EIMI once every few months.
