Risk Lose Money [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	The fund is subject to risks, any of which could cause an investor to lose money.
Market Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Market Risk — Financial markets rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets may be impacted by economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, including economic sanctions, tariffs and other government actions. In addition, the occurrence of global events, such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters and epidemics, may also negatively affect the financial markets. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate, which means that an investor could lose money over short or long periods.
New Fund Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	New Fund Risk — The fund is a new ETF and has only recently commenced operations and therefore has limited operating history on which investors can base their investment decision. Additionally, due to the fund’s small asset base, certain of the fund’s expenses and its portfolio transaction costs may be higher than those of a fund with a larger asset base. There can be no assurance that the fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case the fund may cease operations. In such an event, your interest in the fund may be liquidated at an inopportune time.
Investment Style Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Investment Style Risk — The fund is an index fund. Therefore, the fund follows the securities included in the index during upturns as well as downturns. Because of its indexing strategy, the fund does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. In addition, because of the fund’s expenses, the fund’s performance may be below that of the index. Errors relating to the index may occur from time to time and may not be identified by the index provider for a period of time. In addition, market disruptions could cause delays in the index’s rebalancing schedule. Such errors and/or market disruptions may result in losses for the fund.
Interest Rate Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Interest Rate Risk — Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, the fund’s yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low, the fund’s yield (and total return) also may be low. Changes or the anticipation of changes in interest rates also may affect the fund’s share price: a rise in interest rates generally causes the fund’s share price to fall. The longer the fund’s portfolio duration, the more sensitive to interest rate movements its share price is likely to be. Also, a change in a central bank’s monetary policy or economic conditions, among other things, may result in a change in interest rates, which could have sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets and significantly impact the value of fixed-income securities in which the fund invests. A sudden or unpredictable rise in interest rates may cause volatility and the value of fixed-income securities to decline.
Credit Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Credit Risk — A decline in the credit quality of an issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty could cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The fund could lose money if, due to a decline in credit quality, the issuer, guarantor or liquidity provider of a portfolio investment or a counterparty fails to make, or is perceived as being unable or unwilling to make, timely principal or interest payments or otherwise honor its obligations.
Foreign Investment Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Foreign Investment Risk — The fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers involve certain risks that may be greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. These risks may negatively impact the value or liquidity of the fund’s investments, and could impair the fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in accordance with its investment strategy. There is a risk that investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged, resulting in the dollar value of the fund’s investment being adversely affected. To the extent the fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a large percentage of the fund’s assets, the fund’s performance may be adversely affected by the economic, political, regulatory and social conditions in those countries, and the fund’s price may be more volatile than the price of a fund that is geographically diversified.
Emerging Markets Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Emerging Markets Risk — Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. Emerging market countries often have less uniformity in accounting, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping requirements, which may limit the quality and availability of financial information, and greater risk associated with the custody of securities. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in developed countries. As a result, there may be an increased risk of illiquidity and price volatility associated with the fund’s investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, and, at times, it may be difficult to value such investments.
Sampling Index Tracking Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Sampling Index Tracking Risk — The fund may not fully replicate the index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, the fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser’s investment management strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Because the fund utilizes a sampling approach it may not track the return of the index as well as it would if the fund purchased all of the securities in the index.
Tracking Error and Correlation Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Tracking Error and Correlation Risk — As an index fund, the fund seeks to track the performance of the index, although it may not be successful in doing so. Further, there can be no guarantee that the fund will achieve a high degree of correlation between the fund’s performance and that of its index. The correlation between the performance of the fund and that of its index, positive or negative, is called “tracking error.” Tracking error can be caused by many factors and it may be significant.
Privately Issued Securities Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Privately Issued Securities Risk — Privately issued securities, including those purchased pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act), are generally not traded on established markets. Privately issued securities carry the risk that the liquidity of these securities may become impaired, making it more difficult for the fund to sell these bonds. Delay or difficulty in selling such securities may result in a loss to the fund.
Portfolio Turnover Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Portfolio Turnover Risk — The fund may engage in frequent trading of its portfolio securities in connection with its tracking of the index or in response to market conditions. A higher portfolio turnover rate may result in increased transaction costs, which may lower the fund’s performance. A higher portfolio turnover rate can also result in an increase in taxable capital gains distributions to the fund’s shareholders.
Prepayment and Extension Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Prepayment and Extension Risk — Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk that the securities may be paid off earlier or later than expected, especially during periods of falling or rising interest rates, respectively. Prepayments of obligations could cause the fund to forgo future interest income on the portion of the security’s principal repaid early and force the fund to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates. Extensions of obligations could cause the fund to exhibit additional volatility and hold securities paying lower-than-market rates of interest. Either case could hurt the fund’s performance.
Derivatives Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Derivatives Risk — The fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. The fund’s use of derivatives could reduce the fund’s performance, increase the fund’s volatility, and could cause the fund to lose more than the initial amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on the fund.
Liquidity Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Liquidity Risk — The fund may be unable to sell certain securities, such as illiquid securities, readily at a favorable time or price, or the fund may have to sell them at a loss.
Securities Lending Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Securities Lending Risk — Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in, or delay in recovery of, the loaned securities if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent.
Concentration Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Concentration Risk — To the extent that the fund’s or the index’s portfolio is concentrated in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class, the fund may be adversely affected by the performance of those securities, may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
Market Trading Risk [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Market Trading Risk — Although fund shares are listed on national securities exchanges, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for fund shares will develop or be maintained. If an active market is not maintained, investors may find it difficult to buy or sell fund shares.
Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV [Member]
Prospectus [Line Items]
Risk [Text Block]	Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV — Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the fund will approximate the fund’s net asset value (NAV), there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. An investor may pay more than NAV when buying shares of the fund in the secondary market, and an investor may receive less than NAV when selling those shares in the secondary market. The market price of fund shares may deviate, sometimes significantly, from NAV during periods of market volatility or market disruption.
