The best form of gold ownership is having sovereign gold bonds (SGBs) as an investment.
Because not only can you ride the prices of gold or price appreciation, but you also get an annual interest.
Also, if you buy a sovereign gold bond issuance at the outset and hold it for eight years, all the appreciation is tax-free.

Then, there are no management expenses. There is an expense ratio if you buy a gold fund or ETF.
So, the return on that will be the return/appreciation on gold minus the expense. In SGBs, it is the return on gold prices plus the interest you earn.
