Yes, there are different options:

#1 cheapest one (0.00 USD) fees: brokerage account with TD Ameritrade or Charles Schwab (attention: soon both companies will be merged under Charles Schwab label); no commission fees, no account fees = superb! Only thing: U.S. dividend withholding tax (30% or 15% will automatically subtracted from dividends, but not from capital gains (when you're not a U.S. tax subject)

#2 some nice Singapore online broker (like POEMS), compare their fees, U.S. is avantgarde, and many countries will follow towards 0.00 commission fees.
