- Yes. The Janus Family of mutual funds will let you open an account
- with any amount provided you invest at least $50 a month in that account.
- Starting in January, the Twentieth Century family of mutual funds will also
- follow the same rules. Finally, there is the Berger Group of mutual funds
- which has a minimum initial investment of $250.
-
- To get information on investing in these places by calling

- 1-800-525-3713 Janus Fund
- 1-800-345-2021 Twentieth Century
- 1-800-333-1001 Berger Group
-
- Also, if you have $1000 salted away, you meet the minimum initial
- investment for a whole host of other mutual funds. You can get their
- 800 numbers by going to the library and looking up the latest issues
- of "Money" or "Kiplinger's Personal Finance."
