Kids, cover your eyes and ears because this is only for mature adults 18 and over. Well, at least for grown-ups that are accredited with a high net worth. It was bound to happen sooner or later in this 57 billion dollar industry. Adultvest.com is a website that caters to investors interested in capitalizing in the adult entertainment through hedge funds, private equity funds and venture capital.

“AdultVest is the first and only Investment Marketplace and News Letter geared towards matching investors and successful entrepreneurs with growing adult companies and adult entertainers looking to start up, expand, acquire or be acquired.”

Billed as the first company of its kind, Adultvest was founded and is headed by CEO Francis Koenig, an experienced hedge fund veteran. The company’s management team reads like a list of who’s who in business management, investing, finance, private equity, banking, real estate and of course adult entertainment – just to name a few.

According to Adultvest’s website, there are over 68 million search engine requests daily on adult themes, making up 25% of all searches and adult websites receives over 72 million visitors daily. They say the combined revenues of GOOG, MSFT, YHOO, ORCL, and SUNW did not stack up to the 57 billion dollars of the adult entertainment industry. (However, I think they should redo their math – MSFT’s revenue alone is 54.07B.)

Disregarding the slight mathematical calculation, any way you look at it, the adult business is huge and there is money to be made in a market that has been historically ignored by Wall Street. Adultvest is now here to fill that void and is already managing two private equity funds that were launched last year, the Priapus and the Bacchus Investment Funds. Both funds are able to accept IRA and 401K money from accredited and institutional investors.

A new hedge fund that was launched this year offers a collateralized preferred dividend based on the amount invested. A yield of LIBOR plus 2% for a minimum investment of $25,000, LIBOR plus 3% for $100,000, LIBOR plus 4% for $1 million and yielding LIBOR plus 5% requires a minimum investment of $5 million. This fund finances gentlemen’s clubs that are not able to obtain traditional financing through banks because of the adult entertainment nature of its business.

Accredited alternative investors can currently register and join free on Adultvest’s website to research hundreds of privately held adult entertainment companies for investment opportunities. Registration can also be made for the upcoming 2008 Adultvest convention where investors, adult businesses and talent can meet.
