| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Market risk. Investment prices may increase or decrease, sometimes suddenly and unpredictably, due to general market conditions. Local, national, regional or global events such as adverse political events, the imposition of tariffs or trade restrictions, sanctions, armed conflicts, war, acts of terrorism, public health emergencies, such as the spread of infectious illnesses or disease, natural disasters, changes in interest or currency rates, adverse changes to credit markets, supply chain |
| |
|
disruptions, recessions, inflation, or other events, or general adverse investment sentiment could also have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and potentially increase the risks described herein. |

|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Manager risk. Dodge & Cox’s opinion about the intrinsic worth or creditworthiness of a company or security may be incorrect or the market may continue to undervalue a company or security. Depending on the market conditions, Dodge & Cox’s investing style may perform better or worse than portfolios with a different investment style. Dodge & Cox may not make timely purchases or sales of securities for the Fund. The Fund may underperform the broad market, relevant indices, or other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies. |

| Liquidity risk [Member] |

|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Liquidity risk. The Fund may not be able to purchase or sell a security in a timely manner or at desired prices or achieve its desired weighting in a security. Liquidity risk may result from the lack of an active market or a reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities, and may be magnified during times of market stress or under circumstances that cause increased supply in the market due to unusually high selling activity. |
|
| Derivatives risks [Member] |
|

|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Derivatives risk. Investing with derivatives, such as interest rate swaps and futures, and other similar investments (collectively referred to as “derivatives”) involves risks additional to and possibly greater than those associated with investing directly in securities. The value of a derivative may not correlate to the value of the underlying instrument to the extent expected. A derivative can create leverage because it can result in exposure to an amount of a security, index, or other underlying investment (a “notional amount”) that is substantially larger than the derivative position’s market value. Often, the upfront payment required to enter into a derivative is much smaller than the potential for loss, which for certain types of derivatives may be theoretically unlimited. The Fund may not be able to close a derivatives position at an advantageous time or price. As a result, the Fund may be required to continue making required margin and settlement payments and, if the Fund has insufficient cash on hand to meet such requirements, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. For over‑the‑counter derivatives transactions, the counterparty may be unable or unwilling to make required payments and deliveries, especially during times of financial market distress. Derivatives also can create operational and legal risk. Changes in regulation relating to a mutual fund’s use of derivatives and related instruments may make derivatives more costly, limit the availability of derivatives, or otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives and the Fund. |

| Non US investment risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Non‑U.S. investment risk. Securities of non‑U.S. issuers may be more volatile, harder to value, and have lower overall liquidity than U.S. securities. Non‑U.S. issuers may be subject to political, economic, or market instability, or unfavorable government action or economic and financial sanctions or other restrictions imposed by U.S. or foreign regulators. There may be less information publicly available about non‑U.S. issuers and their securities, and those issuers may be subject to lower levels of government regulation and oversight. Non‑U.S. securities may decline in value due to conditions specific to an individual country, including unfavorable economic conditions relative to the United States. There may be increased risk of delayed transaction settlement. These risks may be higher when investing in emerging market issuers. Certain of these elevated risks may also apply to securities of U.S. issuers with significant non‑U.S. operations. |
|
| Interest rate risks [Member] |
|

|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Interest rate risk. Debt security prices may decline due to rising interest rates, which can fluctuate for a variety of reasons, such as due to market events, monetary policy, government and/or corporate spending and borrowing, and inflation. The price of debt securities with longer maturities is typically affected more by rising interest rates than the price of debt securities with shorter maturities. |
|
| Credit risks [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Credit risk. An issuer or guarantor of a debt security may be unable or unwilling to make scheduled payments of interest and principal. Actual or perceived deterioration in an issuer’s or guarantor’s financial condition may affect a security’s value. |
|
| Below investment grade securities risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Below investment-grade securities risk. Debt securities rated below investment grade, also known as high-yield or “junk” bonds, generally have greater credit risk, more price volatility, and less liquidity than investment-grade securities. |
|
| Mortgage and asset backed securities risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk. Mortgage- and certain asset-backed securities permit early repayment of principal based on prepayment of the underlying assets; changes in the rate of repayment affect the price and volatility of an investment. If prepayments occur more quickly than expected, the Fund receives lower interest payments than it expects. If prepayments occur more slowly than expected, it delays the return of principal to the Fund. Securities issued by certain GSEs are not issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury; there is no assurance the U.S. government will provide support in the event a GSE issuer cannot meet its obligations. |
|
| Call risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Call risk. If interest rates fall, issuers of callable bonds may repay securities with higher interest rates before maturity. This could cause the Fund to lose potential price appreciation or anticipated income and reinvest the proceeds in securities with lower interest rates. |
|
| Sovereign and government related debt risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Sovereign and government-related debt risk. An issuer of sovereign debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due. In the event of a default by a governmental entity on a sovereign debt obligation, there may be few or no effective legal remedies for collecting on such debt. |
|
| Hybrid securities risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
Hybrid securities risk. Hybrid securities are typically subordinated to an issuer’s senior debt instruments; therefore, they are subject to greater credit risk than those senior debt instruments. Many hybrid securities are subject to provisions permitting their issuers to skip or defer distributions under specified circumstances. Hybrid securities may have limited or no voting rights and may have substantially lower overall liquidity than other securities. Certain types of hybrid securities, such as non‑cumulative perpetual preferred stock, are issued predominantly by companies in the financial services industry and thus may present increased risk during times of financial upheaval, which may affect financial services companies more than other types of issuers. |
|
| To Be Announced transaction risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ∎ |
|
To‑Be‑Announced transaction risk. TBA mortgage-backed securities transactions involve an agreement under which the buyer agrees to purchase a pool of mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price with payment and delivery at a scheduled future date, typically between 30 and 60 days in the future. During the settlement period of a TBA transaction, the buyer is at risk for any decline in the value of the securities to be delivered, while the seller is at risk that the value of the securities may increase. In order to maintain TBA exposure past the scheduled settlement date, a buyer must “roll” the transaction by selling its original position and simultaneously purchasing a similar new one with a settlement date further in the future. Each time the Fund rolls a TBA position (typically every 30‑60 days), it incurs transaction costs, which are borne by the Fund and its shareholders, and reduces the total return of the Fund. Maintaining TBA exposure will increase a fund’s portfolio turnover rate. |
