Surrender Charge


On an interest-sensitive whole life or universal life policy or deferred annuities, it is the amount of money deducted from the policy account value at the time a policy is surrendered at the request of the policyowner. The surrender charge, as specifically stated in the contract, usually decreases over a number of years and is often a percentage of the premium in the first policy year.
