Fishers International, the financial services company, has become the Miller Fisher Group, following agreement by shareholders yesterday of the exchange of its shares on a one-for-one basis with those of the England and Wales registered company.

The chief executive, Mr Kevin Kenny, said the effective changing of the company's domicile from the Republic to England and Wales would allow it to be entered on the FT All Share and Small Cap indices, giving it greater access to institutional investment and fund managers precluded from purchasing non-Britain registered stocks.

Miller Fisher will be listed on the ISEQ and the London Stock Exchange under its new name.
