Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

You may want to invest in the Fund if:

 

● you are a long-term investor

 

● you seek both growth of capital and some income

 

● you believe that the market will favor value over growth stocks over the long term

 

● you wish to include a value strategy

 

The Fund’s share price will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

 

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell Fund shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them; you may lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

Investing in the Fund involves the following risks:

 

Credit Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.

 

Convertible Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Convertible Securities Risk. Convertible securities provide higher yields than the underlying common stock, but generally offer lower yields than nonconvertible securities of similar quality. The value of convertible securities fluctuates in relation to changes in interest rates and, in addition, fluctuates in relation to the underlying common stock.

 

Derivatives Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Derivatives Risk. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the Fund’s volatility. Derivatives may experience large, sudden, or unpredictable changes in liquidity and may be difficult to sell or unwind. Derivatives can also create investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested (leverage risk) — consequently, derivatives may experience very large swings in value. The Fund may lose more money using derivatives than it would have lost if it had invested directly in the underlying security or asset on which the value of a derivative is based. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security, or other risk being hedged. Derivatives may be difficult to value and may expose the Fund to risks of mispricing. In addition, derivatives are subject to extensive government regulation, which may change frequently and significantly impact the Fund.

 

Equity Market Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors, or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

 

Foreign Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities involve risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject. These risks include expropriation, differing accounting and disclosure standards, currency exchange risks, settlement difficulties, market illiquidity, difficulties enforcing legal rights, and greater transaction costs. These risks are more pronounced in the securities of companies located in emerging markets.

 

Health Care Sector Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Health Care Sector Risk. Investments in health care companies are subject to a number of risks, including the adverse impact of legislative actions and government regulations. These actions and regulations can affect the approval process for patents, medical devices and drugs, the funding of research and medical care programs, and the operation and licensing of facilities and personnel. Biotechnology and related companies are affected by patent considerations, intense competition, rapid technology change and obsolescence, and regulatory requirements of various federal and state agencies.

 

High Yield Or Junk Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● High Yield or “Junk” Securities Risk. High yield securities are typically issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy, or financially distressed and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature (high risk), subject to greater liquidity risk, and subject to a greater risk of default than higher rated securities. High yield securities may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

 

Interest Rate Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may be subject to heightened interest rate risk as a result of changes in economic conditions, inflation and government monetary policy, such as changes in the federal funds rate. There is no way of predicting the frequency or quantum of potential interest rate changes.

 

Issuerspecific Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Issuer-Specific Risk. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the market as a whole. The Fund could lose all of its investment in a company’s securities.

 

Largecapitalization Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Large-Capitalization Risk. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Many larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

 

Inflation Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s shares and distributions thereon can decline. Inflation risk is linked to increases in the prices of goods and services and a decrease in the purchasing power of money. Inflation often is accompanied or followed by a recession, or period of decline in economic activity, which may include job loss and other hardships and may cause the value of securities to go down generally. Inflation risk is greater for fixed-income instruments with longer maturities. In addition, this risk may be significantly elevated compared to normal conditions because of recent monetary policy measures and the current interest rate environment.

 

Leverage Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Leverage Risk. The risk associated with securities or practices, e.g., borrowing, that multiply small price movements into large changes in value.

 

Liquidity Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Liquidity Risk. The risk that certain securities (particularly illiquid securities and restricted securities) may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Adviser would like. This may result in a loss or may be costly to the Fund.

 

Management Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Management Risk. If the portfolio manager is incorrect in his assessment of the growth prospects of the securities the Fund holds, then the value of the Fund’s shares may decline.

 

Market Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Market Risk. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolios may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market, or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. For example, the U.S. and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs, investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the U.S. and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. The current political climate, including political and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad, may adversely affect the U.S. regulatory landscape, the general market environment and/or investor sentiment, which could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s investments and operations. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics. For example, the ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East have caused and may continue to cause significant market disruptions. As a result, there is significant uncertainty around how these conflicts will evolve, which may result in market volatility and may have long-lasting impacts on both the U.S. and global financial markets.

 

Merger Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Merger Risk. In general, securities of companies which are the subject of a tender or exchange offer or a merger, consolidation, liquidation, or reorganization proposal sell at a premium to their historic market price immediately prior to the announcement of an offer for the company. However, it is possible that the value of securities of a company involved in such a transaction will not rise and in fact may fall, in which case the Fund would lose money. It is also possible that the Adviser’s assessment that a particular company is likely to be acquired or acquired during a specific time frame may be incorrect, in which case the Fund may not realize any premium on its investment and could lose money if the value of the securities declines during the Fund’s holding period.

 

Portfolio Turnover Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Portfolio Turnover Risk. High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs to the Fund, which may result in higher fund expenses and lower total returns. The sale of portfolio securities also may result in the recognition of capital gain, which will be taxable to shareholders when distributed to them, or loss.

 

Security Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Security Risk. The risk that the value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably based upon changes in a company’s financial condition as well as overall market and economic conditions.

 

Short Sale Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Short Sale Risk. A “short sale” is the sale by the Fund of a security which has been borrowed from a third party on the expectation that the market price will drop. If the price of the security rises, the Fund may have to cover short positions at a higher price than the short sale price, resulting in a loss.

 

Small And Midcapitalization Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risk. Risk is greater for the securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies (including small unseasoned companies that have been in operation less than three years) because they generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources. The securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies also may trade less frequently and in smaller volume than larger companies. As a result, the value of such securities may be more volatile than the securities of larger companies, and the Fund may experience difficulty in purchasing or selling such securities at the desired time and price.

 

Special Situations Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
● Special Situations Risk. The Fund may use aggressive investment techniques, including seeking to benefit from “special situations,” such as mergers, reorganizations, or other unusual events expected to affect a particular issuer. There is a risk that the “special situation” might not occur, which could have a negative impact on the price of the issuer’s securities and fail to produce gains or produce a loss for the Fund.
Risk Lose Money [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] When you sell Fund shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them; you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
