S&P, Calpers settle suit over mortgage deals for $125 million: WSJ

The lawsuit stems from losses the pension fund suffered after the housing market collapsed and formerly AAA-rated securities that were backed by pools of residential mortgages defaulted, the newspaper reported. The California Public Employees Retirement System, or Calpers, the largest pension fund in the United States, brought the lawsuit against S&P in 2009. Calpers also named Fitch Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service in the lawsuit.
