Conversion privilege Reserves:. An additional reserve is usually calculated for the individual policies which are issued from the exercise of the conversion privilege in group insurance (aver and above the regular required reserve on the individual policy). This is done because death rates on such policies are generally very high and the present value of future benefits in the reserve calculation is quite inadequate when a standard mortality table is used.

With a single premium or immediate annuity, the annuitant pays for the annuity with a single lump sum. The annuity starts making regular payments to the annuitant within a year. A common use of a single premium annuity is as a destination for roll-over retirement savings upon retirement. In such a case, a retiree withdraws all of the money the retiree has saved in, for example, a 401(k) (i.e., tax-advantaged) savings vehicle during the retiree's working life and uses the money to buy an annuity whose payments will replace the retiree's wage payments for the rest of the retiree's life. The advantage of such an annuity is that the annuitant has a guaranteed income for life, whereas if the retiree were instead to withdraw money regularly from the retirement account, the retiree might run out of money before the retiree dies or not have as much to spend while the retiree is alive.
