Expense [Heading] | rr_ExpenseHeading | RISK/RETURN SUMMARY: FEES AND EXPENSES | ||||||
Expense Narrative [Text Block] | rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock | This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold the Fund's Class A Shares (A), Class B Shares (B), Class C Shares (C), Class R Shares (R), Institutional Shares (IS) and Service Shares (SS). You may qualify for certain sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in certain classes (e.g., A class) of Federated Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the "What Do Shares Cost?" section of the Prospectus on page 17. | ||||||

Portfolio Turnover [Heading] | rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading | Portfolio Turnover | ||||||
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] | rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock | The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 42% of the average value of its portfolio. | ||||||

Expense Example [Heading] | rr_ExpenseExampleHeading | Example | ||||||
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] | rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock | This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. Expenses assuming no redemption are also shown. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that operating expenses are as shown in the table above and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: |
||||||
Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | RISK/RETURN SUMMARY: INVESTMENTS, RISKS and PERFORMANCE What are the Fund's Main Investment Strategies? |
||||||
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade, fixed-income securities, including mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities and U.S. government obligations. The Adviser expects that, normally, no more than 15% of the Fund's total assets will be invested in securities that are rated below investment grade. However, the Fund may opportunistically invest up to 25% of its total assets in noninvestment-grade debt securities (otherwise known as "junk bonds" or "leveraged loans"). The amount of any unhedged non-U.S. dollar denominated fixed-income securities and foreign currencies in the Fund's portfolio will normally not exceed 10% of the Fund's total assets. The maximum amount that the Fund may invest in non-U.S. dollar denominated fixed-income securities and foreign currencies is 20% of the Fund's total assets. Investment-grade, fixed-income securities are rated in one of the four highest categories (BBB- or higher) by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). Noninvestment-grade, fixed-income securities are rated in one of the six lowest categories (BB or lower) by a NRSRO, or in either case if unrated, of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser. The Adviser seeks to enhance the Fund's performance by allocating relatively more of its portfolio to the sector that the Adviser expects to offer the best balance between total return and risk and thus offer the greatest potential for return. The Fund may invest in derivative contracts or hybrid instruments (such as, for example, futures contracts, option contracts and swap contracts) to implement its investment strategies as more fully described herein. The Adviser may lengthen or shorten duration from time to time based on its interest rate outlook, but the Fund has no set duration parameters. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a fixed-income security to changes in interest rates. Certain of the government securities in which the Fund invests are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Federal Home Loan Bank System. These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. The Fund may also invest in government securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"). Finally, the Fund may invest in a few government securities that have no explicit financial support, but which are regarded as having implied support because the federal government sponsors their activities. Because the Fund refers to fixed-income investments in its name, it will notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any change in its investment policies that would enable the Fund to normally invest less than 80% of its assets in fixed-income investments. |
||||||
Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | What are the Main Risks of Investing in the Fund? | ||||||
Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's returns include:

Performance Table One Class of after Tax Shown [Text] | rr_PerformanceTableOneClassOfAfterTaxShown | After-tax returns are shown only for IS class, and after-tax returns for the A, B, C, R and SS classes will differ from those shown for IS class. | ||||||
Performance Table Narrative | rr_PerformanceTableNarrativeTextBlock | In addition to Return Before Taxes, Return After Taxes is shown for the Fund's IS class to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns. After-tax returns are shown only for IS class, and after-tax returns for the A, B, C, R and SS classes will differ from those shown for IS class. The Fund's Class R Shares commenced operations on April 8, 2003. For the period prior to the commencement of operations of R class, the performance information shown is for the Fund's IS class, adjusted to reflect the expenses of R class. Actual after-tax returns depend upon each investor's personal tax situation, and are likely to differ from those shown. After-tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates. These after-tax returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable state and local taxes. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors holding Shares through tax-deferred programs, such as a 401(k) plan, an Individual Retirement Account or other tax-advantaged investment plans.
