The following is a summary of the key differences between UK, Ireland, Luxembourg and Malta UCITS rules.

In Ireland, Luxembourg & Malta, the 5/10/40 limits are measurable at issuer level. The 20% rule is at issuer group level.

In the United Kingdom, this is not so clear in the UK. COLL 5 reads that the 5/10/40 rules also apply at issuer group level.

For Malta, our starting point is that the 5/10/40 rules at Issuer level rather than Issuer Group level. However, Article 5.12 on Deposits and Article 5.14 on OTC Counterparty exposure would appear to apply at Group level.
