From the NAIC Buyer’s Guide

You usually have to pay a surrender or withdrawal charge if you take some or all of your money out of a deferred annuity during a stated period. Some contracts allow a limited free withdrawal each year (for example, 10% or less of account value).

Fees, surrender charges, and any market value adjustment can reduce what you receive. Read the contract for how charges work in your state.

Deferred annuities differ by how you pay premiums—such as single premium, flexible premium, or other patterns described in the contract—and by fees and charges.
