This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
COPT Defense Properties is a real estate investment trust whose entire business model is developing, owning, and leasing specialized office and data center properties to the U.S. government and its defense contractors. The company’s portfolio is concentrated in locations supporting the U.S. intelligence community (IC) and priority defense missions. Its core strategy is to provide mission-critical, secure facilities for agencies like the National Security Agency (NSA) and for contractors engaged in weapons systems research, development, and testing. This makes the company a specialized, purpose-built component of the defense industrial base, with its revenue and growth directly tied to the expansion of military and intelligence infrastructure.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
This information is provided for educational and transparency purposes only and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Data is drawn from independent watchdogs, NGOs, government registries, and Ethical Capital's ongoing research — see Research Sources for the full list.
