Tower Group International, Ltd. (NASDAQ:TWGP), towards the middle of December had noted that there would be fall in the region of $75 million to $105 million for the third quarter.

It has also reported that its statutory surplus will also see a drop in the region of $315 to $335 million, during the third quarter. This will be in contrast to $374 million drop at the end of second-quarter.
