Such information you can hold in a FinancialInstrument package or using
xtsAttributes from xts.

https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/?root=blotter

or with xtsAttributes:

> getSymbols('CSCO')[1] "CSCO"> str(xtsAttributes(CSCO))List of 2
 $ src    : chr "yahoo"
 $ updated: POSIXct[1:1], format: "2011-11-28 06:56:16">
xtsAttributes(CSCO) <- list(FullName = "Cisco Systems, Inc.")>
str(xtsAttributes(CSCO))List of 3
 $ src     : chr "yahoo"
 $ updated : POSIXct[1:1], format: "2011-11-28 06:56:16"
 $ FullName: chr "Cisco Systems, Inc."> attributes(CSCO)$FullName[1]
"Cisco Systems, Inc."
