> I have and XML with a tag that contains a name such as
>    ...
>   <fullName>US S&P 500</fullName>

Note that "US S&P 500" is not contained in a tag, but is contained
in the element which is marked up by the two tags  <fullName>
and  </fullName>

It is not well formed XML as written so can not be used by any XML
system, you want

 <fullName>US S&amp;P 500</fullName>
