Is Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust under- or over-valued?

Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust's P/E ratio
Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 4x. In other words, Edinburgh Worldwide Investment Trust shares trade at around 4x recent earnings.
