Surrender Charge

A surrender charge is a fee charged to an insurance policyholder when a life insurance policy, or annuity, is surrendered for its cash value. This fee reflects expenses the insurance company incurs by placing the policy on its books, and will also include administrative expenses incurred during the policy period.
