| Fixed income investments risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Fixed income investments risk: The risks associated with fixed income investments include interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of the fund’s investments is likely to fall if interest rates rise. Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that issuers of the fund’s investments may default on payment of interest or principal. Credit risk is generally greater for debt not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Fixed income investments may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during economic downturns or other periods of economic stress. Interest rate risk is generally greater for longer-term bonds, and credit risk is generally greater for below-investment-grade bonds, which can be more sensitive to changes in markets, credit conditions, and interest rates, and may be considered speculative. Mortgage-backed investments, unlike traditional debt investments, are also subject to prepayment risk, which means that they may increase in value less than other bonds when interest rates decline and decline in value more than other bonds when interest rates rise. The fund may have to invest the proceeds from prepaid investments, including mortgage-backed investments, in other investments with less attractive terms and yields. The fund’s investments in mortgage-backed securities, and in certain other securities and derivatives, may be or become illiquid.

| Foreign investments risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Foreign investments risk: The value of international investments traded in foreign currencies may be adversely impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates. International investments, particularly investments in emerging markets, may carry risks associated with potentially less stable economies or governments (such as the risk of seizure by a foreign government, the imposition of currency or other restrictions, or high levels of inflation), and may be or become illiquid. There may be less publicly-available information, or less reliable publicly-available information, about foreign companies, particularly with respect to emerging market companies, than publicly-available information regarding U.S. companies. As a result, the Investment Manager’s ability to evaluate a foreign company may be more limited than its ability to evaluate a U.S. company.

| SMA strategy risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | SMA strategy risk: The fund is intended to be a component of an SMA strategy in managed account investment programs sponsored by third-party financial institutions. A program sponsor’s clients may, alone or in the aggregate, have substantial investments in the fund. If a program sponsor decides to remove the strategy as an available option for its program participants or to cease investing in the fund to implement the strategy, or if a large program client decides to terminate its managed account, the fund may experience relatively large redemptions and could be required to liquidate some or all of its assets at inopportune times or unfavorable prices. The liquidation of fund assets at inopportune times or unfavorable prices may increase or accelerate taxable gains or transaction costs, may negatively affect the fund’s net asset value, performance, or ability to satisfy redemptions in a timely manner, and could cause the value of your investment to decline.
|
| Management and operational risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Management and operational risk: There is no guarantee that the investment techniques, analyses, or judgments that the Investment Manager applies in making investment decisions for the fund will produce the intended outcome or that the investments selected for the fund will perform as well as other securities that were not selected for the fund. The Investment Manager, or the fund’s other service providers, may experience disruptions or operating errors that could negatively impact the fund.
|
| Market risks [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Market risk: The effects of inflation may erode the value of an investment in the fund over time. The value of investments in the fund’s portfolio may fall or fail to rise over extended periods of time for a variety of reasons, including general economic, political or financial market conditions, investor sentiment and market perceptions, government actions, geopolitical events or changes, outbreaks of infectious illnesses or other widespread public health issues, and factors related to a specific issuer, asset class, geography, industry or sector. These and other factors may lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in the fund’s portfolio holdings, may negatively impact the fund’s performance, and may exacerbate other risks to which the fund is subject.
