How to do DCA monthly when buying multiple ETFs?

I'm a new graduate looking to invest approx $1000-1500 monthly into ETFs in China A shares , India, STI, S&P500 as well as S-REIT ETF. I plan to use Syfe REIT+ and they don't have a monthly fee so that is not an issue.

I plan to use FSMone and their regular savings plan for the STI ETF as they have a low monthly commission of 1sgd/0.08%.

For the overseas ETFs, how do I go about DCA-ing with only approx SGD200-300 monthly into each overseas ETF when each transaction costs so much?

You should be able to set up an RSP with FSMOne and invests into China A shares, India and S&P500. For the S&P500, will be 0.08%/1USD whichever higher for buying (instead of sgd).

Why would you get a S-REIT ETF if you also are going to have Syfe REIT+ which tracks 20 S-REITs. They will overlap.

If you are ultimately looking for global diversification, you can consider having a second portfolio with Syfe: Equity100. It has about 14% in S&P500 (last I checked) and should have China and India too. Then since you’ll be investing more with Syfe, you can cross the 20k mark earlier and pay less fees also.

Thinking to buy into ARKG and ARKF ETF. Do you recommend doing DCA every month about $200 each? Or is it better to do it every quarter ($800)? Which is a better platform to do it?

For those vested in ETFs, do you DCA forever or have a limit of 12, 24 or 36 months for DCA? I think 12 months is a tad short for averaging, but what about 36 months? Enough to ride out the storm?
