| Changing Distribution Level Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Changing Distribution Level Risk. The Fund normally expects to receive income which may include interest, dividends and/or capital gains, depending upon its investments. The distribution amounts paid by the Fund will vary and generally depend on the amount of income the Fund earns (less expenses) on its portfolio holdings, and capital gains or losses it recognizes. A decline in the Fund’s income or net capital gains arising from its investments may reduce its distribution level.

| Counterparty Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to a transaction in a financial instrument held by the Fund or by a special purpose or structured vehicle invested in by the Fund may become insolvent or otherwise fail to perform its obligations. As a result, the Fund may obtain no or limited recovery of its investment, and any recovery may be significantly delayed.
|
| Derivatives Risks [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Derivatives Risk. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives are financial instruments with a value in relation to, or derived from, the value of an underlying asset(s) or other reference, such as an index, rate or other economic indicator (each an underlying reference). Derivatives may include those that are privately placed or otherwise exempt from SEC registration, including certain Rule 144A eligible securities. Derivatives could result in Fund losses if the underlying reference does not perform as anticipated. Use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that can involve investment techniques, risks, and tax planning different from those associated with more traditional investment instruments. The Fund’s derivatives strategy may not be successful, and use of certain derivatives could result in substantial, potentially unlimited, losses to the Fund regardless of the Fund’s actual investment. A relatively small movement in the price, rate or other economic indicator associated with the underlying reference may result in substantial losses for the Fund. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments. The value of derivatives may be influenced by a variety of factors, including national and international political and economic developments. Potential changes to the regulation of the derivatives markets may make derivatives more costly, may limit the market for derivatives, or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives. Derivatives can increase the Fund’s risk exposure to underlying references and their attendant risks, such as credit risk, market risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, while potentially exposing the Fund to correlation risk, counterparty risk, hedging risk, inflation risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk, pricing risk and volatility risk.
|
| Market Risks [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Market Risk. The Fund may incur losses due to declines in the value of one or more securities in which it invests. These declines may be due to factors affecting a particular issuer, or the result of, among other things, political, regulatory, market, economic or social developments affecting the relevant market(s) more generally. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to price or value hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets and could cause significant redemptions and operational challenges. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events such as terrorism, war, other conflicts, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.

| Derivatives Risk Swaps Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Derivatives Risk – Swaps Risk. In a typical swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return earned on a specified underlying reference for a fixed return or the return from another underlying reference during a specified period of time. Swaps may be difficult to value and may be illiquid. Swaps could result in Fund losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Swaps create significant investment leverage such that a relatively small price movement in a swap may result in immediate and substantial losses to the Fund. The Fund may only close out a swap with its particular counterparty and may only transfer a position with the consent of that counterparty. Certain swaps, such as short swap transactions and total return swaps, have the potential for unlimited losses, regardless of the size of the initial position. Swaps can increase the Fund’s risk exposure to underlying references and their attendant risks, such as credit risk, market risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, while potentially exposing the Fund to correlation risk, counterparty risk, hedging risk, inflation risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk, pricing risk and volatility risk. ■ Contracts for differences (CFDs) are swap arrangements in which the parties agree that their return (or loss) will be based on the relative performance of two or more individual securities, different groups or baskets of securities or other instruments where the parties agree to exchange the difference in the settlement price between the open and closing trades on a particular asset(s). CFDs enable investors to speculate on whether a market will go up or down, and profit from the price movement without owning the underlying asset(s). CFDs essentially allow investors to trade the direction of securities, including over the very short term. CFDs are subject to the risks described above under Derivatives Risk – Swaps Risk. |
| Industry Concentration Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Industry Concentration Risk. Investments that are concentrated in a particular industry will make the Fund’s portfolio value more susceptible to the events or conditions impacting that particular industry.
|
| Issuer Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Issuer Risk. An issuer in which the Fund invests or to which it has exposure may perform poorly or below expectations, and the value of its securities may therefore decline, which may negatively affect the Fund’s performance. Underperformance of an issuer may be caused by poor management decisions, competitive pressures, breakthroughs in technology, reliance on suppliers, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, natural disasters, military confrontations and actions, war, other conflicts, terrorism, disease/virus outbreaks, epidemics or other events, conditions and factors which may impair the value of your investment in the Fund.
|
| Leverage Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Leverage Risk. Leverage occurs when the Fund increases its assets available for investment by taking short positions or using borrowings, derivatives, or similar instruments or techniques. Use of leverage can produce volatility and may exaggerate changes in the NAV of Fund shares and in the return on the Fund’s portfolio, which may increase the risk that the Fund will lose more than it has invested. If the Fund uses leverage, through the purchase of particular instruments such as derivatives, the Fund may experience capital losses that exceed the net assets of the Fund. Leverage presents the opportunity for increased net income and capital gains, but may also exaggerate the Fund’s volatility and risk of loss. There can be no guarantee that a leveraging strategy will be successful.

| Portfolio Turnover Frequent Trading and Tax Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Portfolio Turnover, Frequent Trading and Tax Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade investments in the Fund’s portfolio to carry out its investment strategies. Use of swaps, including contracts for differences, and other derivatives increases the possibility that the Fund, as relevant, will generate taxable ordinary income. The Fund cannot carry back or carry forward any net operating losses (defined as ordinary deductions in excess of ordinary income for the year) and cannot use capital loss carryforwards to offset ordinary income. Frequent trading of other investments, such as REITs, increases the possibility that the Fund will generate capital gains. Both short-term capital gains and net ordinary gains are distributed as ordinary income and are generally taxable to shareholders at higher rates than long-term capital gains for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could reduce the Fund’s after-tax return for shareholders owning Fund shares in taxable accounts. These trading strategies can mean higher brokerage and other transaction costs. The costs and tax effects associated with such trading strategies may adversely affect the Fund’s after-tax performance. In July 2023, the Fund changed its Principal Investment Strategies, which has resulted in increased portfolio turnover relative to the Fund’s strategy in place prior to July 2023.

| Real Estate Related Investment Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Real Estate-Related Investment Risk. Investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and in securities of other companies (wherever organized) principally engaged in the real estate industry subject the Fund to, among other things, risks similar to those of direct investments in real estate and the real estate industry in general. These include risks related to general and local economic conditions, possible lack of availability of financing and changes in interest rates or property values. The value of interests in a REIT may be affected by, among other factors, changes in the value of the underlying properties owned by the REIT, changes in the prospect for earnings and/or cash flow growth of the REIT itself, defaults by borrowers or tenants, market saturation, decreases in market rates for rents, and other economic, political, or regulatory matters affecting the real estate industry, including REITs. REITs may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. In a rising interest rate environment, the stock prices of real estate-related investments may decline and the borrowing costs of these companies may increase. REITs are also subject to the risk of failing to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The failure of a REIT to continue to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes can materially and adversely affect its value. Some REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are affected by risks similar to those associated with investments in debt securities including changes in interest rates and the quality of credit extended. Because the value of REITs and other real estate-related companies may fluctuate widely in response to changes in factors affecting the real estate markets, the value of an investment in the Fund may be more volatile than the value of an investment in a fund that is invested in a more diverse range of market sectors.

| Short Positions Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Short Positions Risk. The Fund may establish short positions which introduce more risk to the Fund than long positions (where the Fund owns the instrument or other asset) because the maximum sustainable loss on an instrument or other asset purchased (held long) is limited to the amount paid for the instrument or other asset plus the transaction costs, whereas there is no maximum price of the shorted instrument or other asset when purchased in the open market. Therefore, in theory, short positions have unlimited risk. The Fund’s use of short positions in effect “leverages” the Fund. Leverage potentially exposes the Fund to greater risks of loss due to unanticipated market movements, which may magnify losses and increase the volatility of returns. To the extent the Fund takes a short position in a derivative instrument or other asset, this involves the risk of a potentially unlimited increase in the value of the underlying instrument or other asset.
|
| Equity Securities Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Equity Securities Risk. Equity securities may experience significant volatility. Such securities may fall sharply in response to adverse events affecting overall markets, a particular industry or sector, or an individual company’s financial condition.
|
| Active Management Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Active Management Risk. Due to its active management, the Fund could underperform its benchmark index and/or other funds with similar investment objectives and/or strategies.
|
| Risk Lose Money [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective and you may lose money. |
| Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. |
| Risk Nondiversified Status [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Non-Diversified Fund Risk. The Fund is non-diversified, which generally means that it may invest a greater percentage of its total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a “diversified” fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by the Fund could affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect that of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Fund's value will likely be more volatile than the value of a more diversified fund.
