I think (?) most of the mutual funds are a $3000 minimum initial investment. Some of the funds are specific to certain areas of the market and the target date funds are basically a combination of some of their etf's which are mainly VTI (vanguard total stock index), VXUS (vanguard total stock index sans USA) and bonds. You can pick a date with these kinds of funds to coincide with retirement date and they are automatically rebalanced each year.
But the individual ETF's themselves can be just one share or even fractional shares. But then you need to figure out what balance of domestic, international and bonds on your own which is beyond most to do properly. I have a variety of the mutual funds myself.
