Schedule  13D  initially  filed  on  April  12,  2002  (collectively,  with  all
amendments thereto, the "Schedule 13D").
         Preliminary  Note:  This  Amendment  is  being  filed to  reflect  that
effective  on  January 1, 2004,  each of Charles E.  Ellwein  and Rajiv A. Patel

Partners,  L.L.C., two of the Reporting Persons listed below, and as such may be
deemed to be a beneficial  owner of the  securities  beneficially  owned by such
entities as of such date.
         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) 787,824  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 to 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.
         The Reporting Persons  previously  reported  beneficial  ownership,  in
aggregate, of 123,698 Class A Warrants (the "Warrants") issued by the Company to
purchase 123,698 Common Shares. On September 17, 2002,  certain of the Reporting
Persons  exercised  all  123,698  Warrants  for  an  aggregate  cash  amount  of
