If you withdraw early
Surrender charge schedule
Surrender charges apply to withdrawals beyond the free-withdrawal allowance during the contract term. The charge is a percentage of the amount withdrawn, decreasing each year. They exist because the carrier matches your premium against long-duration assets — early redemption forces them to unwind those positions.
| Contract year | Charge |
|---|---|
| Year 1 | 8.0% |
| Year 2 | 8.0% |
| Year 3 | 7.0% |
