| Performance Narrative [Text Block] | The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the fund's Class A shares from year to year. Sales charges, if any, are not reflected in the bar chart, and, if those charges were included, returns would have been less than those shown. The table compares the average annual total returns of the fund's shares to those of the S&P 500® Index (S&P 500) and Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (Bloomberg Aggregate), broad measures of market performance, and a Customized Blended Index, an index reflecting the mix of asset classes in which the fund invests, which is comprised of 60% S&P 500 (which measures the performance of large-cap U.S. equities) and 40% Bloomberg Aggregate (which measures the performance of the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market), to show how the fund's performance compares to a mix of equities and bonds. The fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future. Performance for each share class will vary due to differences in expenses. More recent performance information may be available at www.bny.com/investments. |

| Performance Table Narrative | After-tax performance is shown only for Class A shares. After-tax performance of the fund's other share classes will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through U.S. tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Returns after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares may be higher than returns before taxes or returns after taxes on distributions due to an assumed tax benefit from losses on a sale of the fund's shares at the end of the period. For the fund's Class Y shares, periods prior to the inception date reflect the performance of the fund's Class I shares. Such performance figures have not been adjusted to reflect applicable class fees and expenses of Class Y shares. Each share class is invested in the same portfolio of securities, and the annual returns would have differed only to the extent that the classes have different expenses. |
