All of the major brokerage
houses (Vanguard, Schwab, ETrade, Scottrade, etc) in the US give account holders access to a
list of ETFs and
Mutual Funds with zero load on deposits, no or low minimum account balances, no or low investment minimums, and no commissions.
If you know what types of
funds you want to invest in, you only pay the trade fee of $ 5 to $ 10 to buy a stock or ETF and often have the option to buy from a
list of in -
house mutual funds and ETFs with zero trading fees.
