# Early Withdrawal

Early Withdrawal allows users to exit their investments early, based on the market value of their principal balance (Pendle Finance's Principal Token) and the structured option before the current epoch's maturity. Advanced users may consider using this feature to secure profits from the structured option strategy.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Early Withdrawals are not 100% Principal-Protected. Depending on prevailing market conditions, user accepts that the total amount withdrawn may be less than their initial deposits (Principal Balance). 
{% endhint %}
