Murex Investments
In 1998 RHD founded Murex Investments, a social entrepreneurship program, as a group of investment funds providing capital to small businesses in the Mid-Atlantic region. With more than $20 million under management, Murex invests in strong companies that share upside with employees. The group includes an SBA-licensed New Markets Venture Capital Company and a U.S. Treasury-Certified Community Development Financial Institution. Murex’s industry targets include both the technology companies that are needed to grow the regional economy, and the manufacturing and service companies that can provide quality jobs for low- to moderate-income people. While investment strategy varies by fund, each shares a common mission: to achieve sustainable improvement of distressed communities by driving toward an investment system that creates and supports progressive, high-performing companies in underserved markets.
Murex is managed by professionals with extensive investment and operating experience, and is governed by a Board comprised of some of the region's outstanding investors and entrepreneurs.
