Empower Large Cap Growth Fund Investment Risks - Empower Large Cap Growth Fund
Dec. 31, 2025
Equity Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Equity Securities Risk - The value of equity securities held by the Fund may decline as a result of factors directly related to a company, a particular industry or industries, or general market conditions that are not specifically related to a company or an industry.
Market Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Market Risk - The value of the Fund’s investments may decrease, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly, due to factors affecting (or perceived to affect) specific issuers held by the Fund, particular industries represented in the Fund’s portfolio, or the overall securities markets. A variety of factors can increase the volatility of the Fund’s holdings and markets generally, including political or regulatory developments, recessions, inflation, deflation, rapid interest rate changes, bank failures, war or acts of terrorism, sanctions, tariffs, natural disasters, outbreaks of infectious illnesses or other widespread public health issues, general outlook for corporate earnings, or adverse investor sentiment generally. Certain events may cause instability across global markets, including reduced liquidity and disruptions in trading markets, while some events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. These adverse developments may cause broad declines in an issuer’s value due to short-term market movements or for significantly longer periods during more prolonged market downturns.
Sector Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Sector Risk - The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies within a particular sector, and its performance may suffer if that sector underperforms the overall market.
Growth Stock Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Growth Stock Risk - A growth style of investing is subject to the risk that returns on growth stocks are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Growth stocks can be volatile for several reasons. Since they usually reinvest a high proportion of earnings in their own business, they may not pay the dividends usually associated with value stocks that can cushion their decline in a falling market. Also, since investors buy these stocks because of the expected superior earnings growth, earnings disappointments may result in sharp price declines.
Large Size Company Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Large-Size Company Risk - Large-size companies are generally more mature and may be unable to respond as quickly as smaller companies to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Foreign Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Foreign Securities Risk - Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, geopolitical (including war or armed conflict), regulatory, market, currency valuation, or economic or other developments, and can perform differently than the U.S. market. Current tariffs, sanctions, or the threat of potential tariffs, sanctions or similar measures may also impair the value or liquidity of affected securities and negatively impact the Fund.
Emerging Markets Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Emerging Markets Risk - Emerging market countries generally have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that are less stable, than those of developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based predominantly on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from limited reliable access to capital, extreme debt burdens, less established financial market operations or volatile inflation rates. The securities markets of emerging market countries may be subject to manipulation and have historically been extremely volatile and less liquid than more developed markets. These market conditions may continue or worsen. Investments in these countries may be subject to heightened political, geopolitical (including war or armed conflict), economic, legal, market, currency and tariff risks, as well as other adverse local or regional developments, including heightened risk of war and ethnic, religious and racial conflicts. The imposition of sanctions, exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions), confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs), and other government restrictions by the U.S. and other governments, as well as problems in share registration, settlement or custody, may also result in losses. Differences in regulatory, accounting, auditing, and financial reporting and recordkeeping standards could impede the availability of reliable information to evaluate and monitor local companies and impact the Fund’s performance. There is also the risk of adverse foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.
Currency Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Currency Risk - Adverse fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies may cause the Fund to lose money on investments denominated in foreign currencies.
Derivatives Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Derivatives Risk - The use of derivatives, including but not limited to futures contracts, may expose the Fund to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. These risks include imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, magnified losses resulting from leverage, counterparty risk, high price volatility, liquidity risk, segregation risk, valuation risk and legal restrictions.
Management Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Management Risk - A strategy, investment decision, technique, analysis, or model used by the portfolio managers may fail to produce the intended results, or imperfections, errors or limitations in the tools and data used by the portfolio managers may cause unintended results. Therefore, the Fund could underperform in comparison to other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies and may generate losses even in a favorable market.
Multi Manager Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Multi-Manager Risk - Because the Sub-Advisers make investment decisions independently, it is possible that their security selection processes may not complement one another, and the Fund may have buy and sell transactions in the same security on the same day.
