The investment giant Goldman Sachs agreed Thursday to pay $550 million to settle federal claims that it misled investors in a subprime mortgage product as the housing market began to collapse three years ago.
If approved by a federal judge in Manhattan, the fine by the Securities and Exchange Commission would be only a dent in the balance sheet of Goldman, which earned $13.3 billion last year.
Goldman, which had been under pressure from shareholders to resolve pending investigations, did not admit wrongdoing under the terms of the agreement.
