Do you mean the minimum amounts? Some will allow a $500 minimum to open. If you have less than that to invest, you are better off in a CD or money market account, then build that up.
You might also look into DRIPs. A DRIP is where you buy stock directly from a company, not all companies offer this option. Those are low cost and you can get started with a small amount of money.

You can buy mutual funds for FREE called no-loads. In fact those are the only kind you should buy. Go to Fidelity or Vanguard and you will see. Or do you mean the amount of money to get started in a fund?? Maybe some are $ 500 minimum but there are plenty others for $1,000 to get started and no cost to you.

some funds from places like t rowe price and ing direct allow you to avoid a large upfront investment to open a mutual fund account if you set up regular monthly transfers to fund your account which usually range between 50 and 90 dollars a month.

You can also buy exchange traded funds, which are bought and sold like stocks, so you don't have minimums to deal with.
