Greenwich, Connecticut-based XPO, a provider of freight transportation services, has a market value of US$1.8 billion.

GIC itself is investing US$250 million and will have a 7.5% stake, a person familiarwith the matter said. In the statement, Lim Kee Chong, GIC’s deputy group chief investment officer, described XPO as set to become “one of the long-term winners in the industry”.

PSP Investments is one of Canada’s largest pension investment managers and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan is the largest single-profession plan in Canada.
