These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example tables, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 62% of the average value of its portfolio. | ||||

| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in securities of small companies economically tied to the United States (for purposes of this section only, “U.S. companies”). Specifically, under normal circumstances, the Fund will obtain exposure to a portfolio of stocks of small U.S. companies (“RAE US Small Portfolio”) through investment in the securities that comprise the RAE US Small Portfolio. The stocks are selected by the Fund’s sub-adviser, Research Affiliates, LLC (“Sub-Adviser”), from a broad universe of companies which satisfy certain liquidity and capacity requirements.The Sub-Adviser uses the RAE™ methodology for portfolio construction. The RAE™ methodology is a rules-based model that selects stocks using quantitative signals that indicate higher expected returns, e.g., value, quality, and momentum. The model then weights selected stocks using their fundamental measures of company size, e.g.,sales, cash flow, dividends and book value. The Sub-Adviser applies the RAE™ methodology to small-sized U.S. companies determined by percentage of cumulative fundamental measures of company size. The fundamental weights of U.S. companies are sorted in descending order where the top cumulative 86% weights are eligible as large and mid-sized companies and the remaining companies are eligible as small-sized companies. Actual stock positions in the RAE US Small Portfolio, which drift apart from target weights as market prices change, are rebalanced to target weights periodically. The RAE™ methodology’s systematic portfolio rebalancing reflects a value orientation. Portfolio managers do not have discretion with respect to the allocations determined by the RAE™ methodology. The RAE™ methodology is not updated according to any predetermined schedule.The Sub-Adviser provides investment advisory services in connection with the Fund’s use of the RAE US Small Portfolio by, among other things, providing PIMCO with the constituents and target weights in the RAE US Small Portfolio. The Fund seeks to remain invested in the securities that comprise the RAE US Small Portfolio even when the value of the RAE US Small Portfolio is declining.The Fund may invest, without limitation, in equity and equity-related securities, including common and preferred securities. Equity-related securities include securities having an equity component (e.g., hybrids, bank capital) and equity derivatives. With respect to investments in equity securities, there is no limitation on the market capitalization range of the issuers in which the Fund may invest. The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments, such as options, forwards, futures contracts, options on futures and swap agreements, consistent with its investment objective. The Fund may also invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis. The Fund may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements and lend portfolio securities. | ||||

| Performance Narrative [Text Block] | rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock | The performance information shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns compare with the returns of certain indexes. A privately offered fund managed by the Fund’s Sub-Adviser was reorganized into the Fund as of the date the Fund commenced operations (June 5, 2015). This privately offered fund was organized on August 30, 2005 and commenced operations on September 29, 2005 and had an investment objective and strategies that were, in all material respects, the same as those of the Fund, and was managed by the Fund’s Sub-Adviser in a manner that, in all material respects, complied with the investment guidelines and restrictions of the Fund. However, the privately offered fund was not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the privately offered fund was not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, liquidity requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 which, if applicable, may have adversely affected its performance.The Fund’s performance for periods prior to the commencement of operations is that of the privately offered fund (net of actual fees and expenses charged to individual privately offered fund accounts in the aggregate). The performance of the privately offered fund has not been restated to reflect the fees, estimated expenses and fee waivers and/or expense limitations applicable to each class of shares of the Fund. If the performance of the privately offered fund had been restated to reflect the applicable fees and expenses of each class of shares of the Fund, the performance may have been higher or lower than the performance shown in the bar chart and Average Annual Total Returns table below. For periods following the Fund's commencement of operations on June 5, 2015, the performance of each class of shares differs as a result of the different levels of fees and expenses applicable to each class of shares, and performance for Class A shares reflects the impact of sales charges. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations, performance would have been lower. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.In addition to the Fund’s performance, the Average Annual Total Returns table includes performance of: (i) a broad-based securities market index(i.e., a regulatory index) and (ii) two supplemental indexes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.Effective July 24, 2024, the Fund’s regulatory index is the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s regulatory index is shown in connection with certain regulatory requirements to provide a broad measure of market performance. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market index generally considered representative of the stock market as a whole. The S&P 500 Index is composed of 500 selected common stocks that represent approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all U.S. common stocks. The S&P 500 Index focuses on the large-cap segment of the U.S. equities market. The Russell 2000® Value Index is a supplemental index of the Fund. The Russell 2000® Value Index, a subset of the Russell 2000® Index, measures the performance of the small-capitalization value sector of the U.S. equity market, as defined by FTSE Russell. The Russell 2000® Index is also a supplemental index of the Fund. The Russell 2000® Index is composed of 2,000 of the smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index and is considered to be representative of the small cap market in general.Performance for the Fund is updated daily and quarterly and may be obtained as follows: daily and quarterly updates on the net asset value and performance page at https://www.pimco.com/en-us/product-finder. | ||||

| Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Real Estate Risk: the risk that the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses.

| PIMCO RAE US Small Fund | Derivatives Risk [Member] | ||||||
| Risk Return Abstract | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments (such as forwards, futures, swaps and structured securities) and other similar investments, including leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market, counterparty (including credit), operational, legal and management risks, and valuation complexity. Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar investment may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the initial amount invested. Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar instrument may also create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. The Fund’s use of derivatives or other similar investments may result in losses to the Fund, a reduction in the Fund’s returns and/or increased volatility. Non-centrally-cleared over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives or other similar investments are also subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations to the other party, as many of the protections afforded to centrally-cleared derivative transactions might not be available for non-centrally-cleared OTC derivatives or other similar investments. The primary credit risk on derivatives or other similar investments that are exchange-traded or traded through a central clearing counterparty resides with the Fund's clearing broker or the clearinghouse. Changes in regulation relating to a registered fund’s use of derivatives and related instruments could potentially limit or impact the Fund’s ability to invest in derivatives, limit the Fund’s ability to employ certain strategies that use derivatives or other similar investments and/or adversely affect the value of derivatives or other similar investments and the Fund’s performance | ||||
