         This  Amendment  No. 3 to Schedule  13D (this  "Amendment")  amends the
Schedule  13D  initially  filed  on  April  12,  2002  (collectively,  with  all
amendments thereto, the "Schedule 13D").
Preliminary  Note:  The  Reporting  Persons  are filing this  Schedule  13D with
respect to the Common Shares,  par value $0.01 per share (the "Common  Shares"),
of Arch Capital Group Ltd.  (the  "Company").  Certain of the Reporting  Persons
own, in aggregate,  (i)  1,115,688  Common  Shares and (ii)  1,416,201  Series A
Convertible Preference Shares (the "Preference A Shares") issued by the Company,
each  Preference A Share  immediately  convertible  into one Common  Share.  All
numbers and percentages  contained in this Schedule 13D represent  Common Shares
and not Preference A Shares (unless stated otherwise). For information regarding
the Preference A Shares, see the Company's Prospectus  Supplement dated April 3,
2002 and the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on April 12, 2002.
         Effective as of January 1, 2005,  each of Noonday G.P.  (U.S.),  L.L.C.
("NGPUS")  and Noonday  Asset  Management,  L.P.  ("NAMLP")  has entered into an
investment  subadvisory  agreement with the  Management  Company and the General
Partner,  under  which  NGPUS and NAMLP are granted  investment  authority  over
certain  securities  and  instruments  owned  by the  Partnerships  and  Managed
Accounts,  including the Common Shares reported herein. Noonday Capital,  L.L.C.
serves as the general  partner of NAMLP.  David I. Cohen  serves as the managing
member of NGPUS and Noonday  Capital,  L.L.C.  Mr. Cohen  resigned as a managing
member of the Management  Company and the General Partner effective December 31,
2004. This amendment to the Schedule 13D is being filed to report that Mr. Cohen
is no longer the deemed  beneficial  owner of any of the Common Shares  reported

Item 3.  Source And Amount Of Funds And Other Consideration.
------   --------------------------------------------------

         Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended and updated as the following:
         The net investment cost (including  commissions)  for the Common Shares
acquired by each of the  Partnerships  and Managed  Accounts since the filing of
the prior Schedule 13D is set forth below:


      Entity       Common Shares Acquired       Approximate Net Investment Cost
      ------       ----------------------       -------------------------------

      FCP             89,100                          $3,378,140.04
      FCIP II         9,200                           $348,797.62
      FCIP III        9,300                           $352,620.67
      Tinicum         4,100                           $155,446.99
      Managed
       Accounts       216,164                         $8,195,200.05


         The consideration  for such  acquisitions was obtained as follows:  (i)
with respect to FCIP II and FCIP III, from working capital; (ii) with respect to
FCP and Tinicum, from working capital, and/or from borrowings pursuant to margin
accounts  maintained  in the  ordinary  course of business by FCP and Tinicum at
Goldman,  Sachs & Co.; and (iii) with respect to the Managed Accounts,  from the
working  capital of each  Managed  Account  and/or from  borrowings  pursuant to
margin  accounts  maintained  in the ordinary  course of business by some of the
Managed  Accounts at Goldman,  Sachs & Co. FCP,  Tinicum and some of the Managed
Accounts hold certain securities in their respective margin accounts at Goldman,
Sachs & Co., and the accounts may from time to time have debit  balances.  It is
not possible to determine the amount of borrowings,  if any, used to acquire the
