While I have not enquired for a while, I have not found any NZ P2P providers that accept children. Like you I wanted to invest on behalf. Does anyone have any ideas about WHY the P2P lenders wouldn't accept children? Is there a legal reason? Or is it just a hassle to set up and associate the responsible parent etc? Quite a few managed funds have accepted his money and tax bracket.
