What is Single Premium Deferred Annuity (SPDA)? Fixed-rate annuities almost always only allow a single premium because interest rates are constantly changing. It would be unfair to invest in an annuity and lock in a return of X percent for the next year or more and then several weeks later expect the same rate of return for new money even through interest rates had declined. Similarly, if rates have increased, the investor would want the then-higher rate for any new money.
