| Performance Narrative [Text Block] | The bar chart and table below provide an indication of the risk of investment in the Fund by showing the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares for each full calendar year since inception and by comparing the Fund’s average annual total returns to the performance of a broad-based securities market index.The returns shown below (before and after taxes) are historical and are not an indication of future performance. Total return figures assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions and include the effect of the Fund’s recurring expenses.Performance information for the period of February 26, 2024 – December 31, 2024, includes the performance of a sub-adviser that no longer manages the Fund’s investment portfolio. Consequently, the Fund’s total returns shown below for 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the performance of the Fund as it is currently managed.Updated performance information may be obtained at www.empower.com/investments/empower-funds/fund-documents (the website does not form a part of this Prospectus). |
