| ● | Managed
Portfolio Risk. When choosing an actively managed mutual fund, it is generally important
for investors to evaluate the investment adviser managing the fund. With respect to the
Fund, performance of individual securities held by the Fund can vary widely. The investment
decisions of the Fund’s Adviser may cause the Fund to underperform other investments
or benchmark indices. The Fund may also underperform other mutual funds with similar
investment strategies. The Fund’s Adviser may not buy chosen securities at the
lowest possible price or sell securities at the highest possible prices. As with any
mutual fund investment, there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment
goals. |

| Equity Securities Risk [Member] |
|

| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Equity
Securities Risk. Equity prices fluctuate and may decline in response to developments
at individual companies or general economic conditions including interest rate levels,
political events, war, natural disasters and the spread of infectious illness or other
public health issues. If the value of Fund’s investments goes down and you redeem
your shares, you could lose money. While the ability to hold shares through periods of
volatility may protect long-term investments from permanent loss, Fund investments might
not be profitable either because the market fails to recognize the value or because the
Adviser misjudged the value of the investment. |

| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Mid-Capitalization
Risk. The Fund may invest significantly in mid-capitalization stocks, which are often
more volatile and less liquid than investments in larger companies. The frequency and
volume of trading in securities of mid-size companies may be substantially less than
is typical of larger companies. Therefore, the securities of mid-size companies may be
subject to greater and more abrupt price fluctuations. In addition, mid-size companies
may lack the management experience, financial resources and product diversification of
larger companies, making them more susceptible to market pressures and business failure. |

| Growth Stock Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Growth
Stock Risk. Securities of companies perceived to be “growth” companies
may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a
“growth” security may be adversely affected if the company does not realize
its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of
securities. |
|
| Industry Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Industry
Risk. The Fund may be focused in one industry or group of industries. As a result,
the Fund’s returns may be considerably more volatile than returns of a fund that
does not focus in one industry or group of industries. |
|
| Non-U.S. Securities Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Non-U.S.
Securities Risk. Non-U.S. securities are subject to the risks of foreign currency
fluctuation, generally higher volatility and lower liquidity than U.S. securities, less
developed securities markets and economic systems and political and economic instability. |
|
| Currency Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Currency
Risk. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and non-U.S. currencies
may cause the value of the Fund’s non-U.S. investments to decline in terms of U.S.
dollars. Additionally, certain of the Fund’s foreign currency transactions may
give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from fluctuations
in the value of the foreign currency. Funds that may invest in securities denominated
in, or which receive revenues in, non-U.S. currencies are subject to this risk. |
|
| Fixed-Income Securities Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Fixed-Income
Securities Risk. The Fund may hold debt and other fixed-income securities to generate
income. Typically, the values of fixed-income securities will change inversely with prevailing
interest rates. Therefore, a fundamental risk of fixed-income securities is interest
rate risk, which is the risk that their value will generally decline as prevailing interest
rates rise, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to likewise decrease, and
vice versa. How specific fixed-income securities may react to changes in interest rates
will depend on the specific characteristics of each security. Fixed income securities
are also subject to credit risk, prepayment risk, valuation risk and liquidity risk. |
|
| Allocation Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Allocation
Risk. The asset classes in which the Fund seeks investment exposure can perform differently
from each other at any given time (as well as over the long term), so the Fund will be
affected by its allocation among equity and fixed-income securities. If the Fund favors
exposure to an asset class during a period when that class underperforms, performance
may be hurt. During periods of rapidly rising equity price, the Fund might not achieve
growth in its share price to the same degree as funds focusing only on stocks. The Fund’s
investments in stocks may make it more difficult to preserve principal during periods
of stock market volatility. |
|
| Technology Sector Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Technology
Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests in technology companies, the Fund is
particularly vulnerable to factors affecting the technology sector, such as dependency
on consumer and business acceptance as new technology evolves, large and rapid price
movements resulting from competition, rapid obsolescence of products and services and
short product cycles. Many technology companies are small and at an earlier stage of
development and, therefore, may be subject to risks such as those arising out of limited
product lines, markets and financial and managerial resources. |
|
| Cash Position Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Cash
Position Risk. The Fund may hold cash or short-term instruments, such as interest-bearing
savings accounts or demand deposit accounts at banks and investments in money market
accounts. During periods when the Fund maintains exposure to cash or short-term instruments,
it may not participate in market movements to the same extent that it would if the Fund
was more fully invested in equity securities. |
|
| Corporate Debt Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Corporate
Debt Risk. Corporate debt securities in which the Fund may invest are taxable debt
obligations issued by corporations, are subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability
to meet principal and interest payments on the obligations and may also be subject to
price volatility due to factors such as market interest rates, market perception of the
creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity. The market value of a debt
security generally reacts inversely to interest rate changes. When prevailing interest
rates decline, the price of the debt obligation usually rises, and when prevailing interest
rates rise, the price usually declines. |
|
| High Yield Securities Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | High
Yield Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in high yield securities. High yield securities
generally offer a higher current yield than that available from higher grade issues,
but typically involve greater risk. Securities rated below investment grade are commonly
referred to as “junk bonds.” The ability of issuers of high yield securities
to make timely payments of interest and principal may be adversely impacted by adverse
changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial condition of the issuers
and price fluctuations in response to changes in interest rates. High yield securities
are less liquid than investment grade securities and may be difficult to price or sell. |
|
| Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Mortgage-Backed
and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities represent
interests in “pools” of commercial or residential mortgages or other assets,
including consumer loans or receivables. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities tend to
be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than other types of debt securities. Investments
in mortgage-and asset-backed securities are subject to both extension risk, where borrowers
pay off their debt obligations more slowly in times of rising interest rates, and prepayment
risk, where borrowers pay off their debt obligations sooner than expected in times of
declining interest rates. These risks may reduce the Fund’s returns. In addition,
investments in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, including those comprised of subprime
mortgages, may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity
risk than various other types of fixed-income securities. |
