I am looking for any options to invest small amounts each month/quarter without commissions eating me up. As a U.S. resident and investing in a Mutual Fund, this is no problem. AIP programs Non U.S. residents (like me), are not allowed to invest in Mutual Funds at least directly without a broker account (the ones that allow this require minimum capital of 100 k) My "work around" this far was to open a broker account, 1. bank transfer commissions 2. convert currency in dollars (forex commissions) 3. buy an ETF (commissions again) Are there any publicly traded Mutual Funds? Is there any way to invest small amounts frequently without so many commissions? I am E.U. resident if this helps.

One solution would be to invest in shares in investment companies (investment trusts)either in the USA or in the Eu
