No. The Vanguard Personal Investor Kids Account can only be opened by an adult (parent or guardian) for the benefit of a child (under 18).

To open a Personal Investor Kids Account, you will need to have your own Personal Investor Account first so that you can have access and full responsibility of the minor account.

Once you have opened a Personal Investor Kids Account, you will be able to access the Personal Investor Kids Account by logging into your own Vanguard Online login.

The new Personal Investor Kids Account will be opened with your existing individual details and credentials, in addition to the details of your child. That is, it will be opened in your individual name with a designation referring to the child (e.g. John Smith A/C Jake Smith).

Please note:

To open a Personal Investor Kids Account, you will need to have an existing Vanguard Personal Investor Account and have access to Vanguard Online.
The Personal Investor Kids Account is a separate account to your existing Vanguard Personal Investor Account. If you have an existing account and decide to open a Personal Investor Kids Account, the account will be opened in your name based on your individual details and credentials (not in the name of any other individuals on your existing Joint, Trust, SMSF or Company account).

If you do not have an existing Personal Investor Account, opening one usually takes less than 10 minutes. Open an account now.
