Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	We will seek to achieve the Fund's objective by purchasing and holding primarily equity securities and derivatives of both foreign and domestic companies. We practice quantitative techniques in the selection of stocks using a computer screening process to assist us in finding investment opportunities. Qualitative factors are considered in investment selection, but their influence is usually minimal. We seek capital appreciation by investing in companies that we believe are undervalued, which could include small, medium or large capitalization companies, as well as derivatives relating to domestic and foreign corporations. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, including borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities such as common stocks that we deem to be undervalued and which have characteristics we deem will likely cause those stocks to appreciate in the near future. Such characteristics include the sector or industry the company is in, certain ratios of the company such as return-on-equity or margins, the size of the company, past and future growth of the company, analysts' expectations, earnings surprises and other characteristics we deem may impact the appreciation of stocks. The Fund's policy of investing in equity securities may only be changed upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders. The Advisor seeks to control risk by diversifying the Fund's assets among numerous sectors and asset classes. The Fund may engage in derivative transactions for any purpose consistent with its investment objective. A derivative is a security or instrument whose value is determined by reference to the value or the change in value of one or more securities, indices, or other financial instrument. For example, the Fund may use derivatives to hedge its exposure to volatility with respect to underlying portfolio securities or the equity markets generally. The Fund may actively trade equity index futures contracts and options on equities and equity index futures. These transactions are used to hedge against changes in interest rates, security prices, and other market developments or to earn additional income. These strategies have costs associated with them and losses will be incurred if the Advisor is incorrect in its expectations about the direction or extents of movement of markets or interest rates. In addition, hedging strategies negatively impact the Fund's portfolio by decreasing the Fund's upside performance potential. The Fund may make short sales as part of its overall portfolio management strategy or to offset a potential decline in the value of a security. A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other institution. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon closing a short sale. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. We consider the effects of higher turnover when evaluating short-term investments. We will invest the Fund primarily in equities listed on the major U.S. stock exchanges, including ADRs, or securities convertible into common stocks. Up to 33% of the Fund's investment portfolio may include companies traded on foreign exchanges. The Fund's investment strategy typically results in a portfolio turnover rate in excess of 100% on an annual basis.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	·  General. Investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance before investing. As with all mutual fund investments, loss of money is a risk of investing. Please read the other risks detailed below that apply to investing in our Fund. ·  Market Risk. Market risk involves the possibility that the Fund's investments in equity securities will decline because of falls in the stock market, reducing the value of individual company's stocks regardless of the success or failure of an individual company's operations. ·  Equity Securities Risks. Common stocks and other equity securities generally increase or decrease in value based on the earnings of a company and on general industry and market conditions, which tend to have greater fluctuations in share price than a fund that invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed income securities. ·  Large Cap Company Risk. Larger, more established companies may be unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies during periods of economic expansion. ·  Small and Medium Cap Company Risk. Securities of companies with small and medium market capitalizations are often more volatile and less liquid than investments in larger companies. Small and medium cap companies may face a greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of the Fund's portfolio. ·  Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities can be more volatile than domestic (U.S.) securities. Securities markets of other countries are generally smaller than U.S. securities markets. Many foreign securities may also be less liquid than U.S. securities, which could affect the Fund's investments. ·  Derivatives Risk. The Fund may buy or sell a variety of "derivative" instruments (such as, options, futures or index-based instruments) in order to gain exposure to particular securities or markets, in connection with hedging transactions and to increase total return. The Fund's use of derivative instruments involves the risk that such instruments may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes. ·  Short Sales Risk. The risk of loss if the value of a security sold short increases prior to the scheduled delivery date because the Fund must pay more for the security than it has received from the purchaser in the short sale. ·  Options Risk. There are risks that option writing strategies the Fund uses will not be successful due to market behavior or unexpected events. In buying call and put options, the Fund may forego its investment should the options fail to reach their strike prices before expiration. In selling call options, the Fund receives a premium, but may forego appreciation of the underlying security. In selling put options, the Fund receives a premium, but may have the underlying security put to the Fund, at a price greater than its then current market value. ·  Futures Contracts and Options on Futures Risks. Investments in futures contracts (or related options) involve substantial risks. The low margin or premiums normally required in trading index futures contracts may provide a large amount of leverage, and a relatively small change in the underlying index or price of the contract can produce a disproportionately larger profit or loss. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund must deposit initial margin in addition to segregating cash or liquid assets sufficient to meet its obligation to purchase or provide securities, or to pay the amount owed at the expiration of an index-based futures contract. Pursuant to the futures contract, the Fund agrees to receive from, or pay to the broker, an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures contract. ·  Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may make changes in its portfolio consistent with the Fund's policies when we believe doing so is in the best interest of the Fund. We anticipate Fund turnover to be considerably higher than that of comparable funds. High turnover may increase transaction costs, increase taxable gains and negatively affect performance. A high rate of portfolio turnover is 100% or more. We consider the effects of higher turnover when evaluating short-term investments.
Risk Lose Money [Text]	rr_RiskLoseMoney	As with all mutual fund investments, loss of money is a risk of investing.

If sales charges had been reflected, the returns for Class A shares would be less than those shown below. The performance of Class C shares will differ due to differences in expenses. The table compares the Fund's performance to that of a broad-based market index. The Fund's performance, before and after taxes, is not a prediction of future results.

[1] For single purchases, or purchases aggregating $1 million or more of Class A shares you will not pay an initial sales charge. On these purchases of Class A shares, a deferred sales charge of 1% is levied on redemptions occurring within 12 months of the investment. For Class C shares, the deferred sales charge is applied to redemptions within one year of purchase.

[2] An account maintenance fee of $60 may be charged to accounts that have balances less than the minimum of $5,000 for regular accounts or retirement accounts, or $2,000 for Coverdell Education Savings Accounts.

[3] Restated to reflect projected expenses under a new administrative services arrangement effective February 1, 2013.

[4] Effective February 1, 2013, Empiric Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") has contractually agreed to reduce its management fees and/or reimburse the Fund so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short and liquidity program fees), taxes, 12b-1 fees, any indirect expenses such as acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary litigation expenses) do not exceed 1.73% of the Fund's average daily net assets through February 1, 2014. This expense cap may not be terminated prior to this date except by the Board of Directors. Expenses reimbursed and/or fees reduced by the Advisor may be recouped by the Advisor for a period of three fiscal years following the fiscal year during which such reimbursement or reduction was made if such recoupment can be achieved within the foregoing expense limit.

on page 21 of the Fund's prospectus and in the section entitled "Purchase and
Redemption of Shares" on page 39 of the Fund's Statement of Additional
Information.

Example.

The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the
Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem
all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that
your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund's operating
expenses remain the same.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example Core Equity Fund (USD $)	Expense Example, with Redemption, 1 Year	Expense Example, with Redemption, 3 Years	Expense Example, with Redemption, 5 Years	Expense Example, with Redemption, 10 Years
Class A	764	1,184	1,629	2,857
Class C	378	872	1,493	3,167

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Expense Example, No Redemption Core Equity Fund (USD $)	Expense Example, No Redemption, 1 Year	Expense Example, No Redemption, 3 Years	Expense Example, No Redemption, 5 Years	Expense Example, No Redemption, 10 Years
Class A	764	1,184	1,629	2,857
Class C	276	872	1,493	3,167

Portfolio Turnover.

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 540% of the average
value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

We will seek to achieve the Fund's objective by purchasing and holding primarily
equity securities and derivatives of both foreign and domestic companies. We
practice quantitative techniques in the selection of stocks using a computer
screening process to assist us in finding investment opportunities.

Qualitative factors are considered in investment selection, but their influence
is usually minimal.

We seek capital appreciation by investing in companies that we believe are
undervalued, which could include small, medium or large capitalization
companies, as well as derivatives relating to domestic and foreign corporations.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets,
including borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities such as
common stocks that we deem to be undervalued and which have characteristics we
deem will likely cause those stocks to appreciate in the near future. Such
characteristics include the sector or industry the company is in, certain ratios
of the company such as return-on-equity or margins, the size of the company,
past and future growth of the company, analysts' expectations, earnings
surprises and other characteristics we deem may impact the appreciation of
stocks. The Fund's policy of investing in equity securities may only be changed
upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.

The Advisor seeks to control risk by diversifying the Fund's assets among
numerous sectors and asset classes. The Fund may engage in derivative
transactions for any purpose consistent with its investment objective. A
derivative is a security or instrument whose value is determined by reference to
the value or the change in value of one or more securities, indices, or other
financial instrument. For example, the Fund may use derivatives to hedge its
exposure to volatility with respect to underlying portfolio securities or the
equity markets generally. The Fund may actively trade equity index futures
contracts and options on equities and equity index futures. These transactions
are used to hedge against changes in interest rates, security prices, and other
market developments or to earn additional income. These strategies have costs
associated with them and losses will be incurred if the Advisor is incorrect in
its expectations about the direction or extents of movement of markets or
interest rates. In addition, hedging strategies negatively impact the Fund's
portfolio by decreasing the Fund's upside performance potential.

The Fund may make short sales as part of its overall portfolio management
strategy or to offset a potential decline in the value of a security. A short
sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other
institution. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security
short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon closing a short
sale. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to
acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities at a
time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in
a loss to the Fund.

We consider the effects of higher turnover when evaluating short-term
investments. We will invest the Fund primarily in equities listed on the major
U.S. stock exchanges, including ADRs, or securities convertible into common
stocks. Up to 33% of the Fund's investment portfolio may include companies
traded on foreign exchanges. The Fund's investment strategy typically results in
a portfolio turnover rate in excess of 100% on an annual basis.

Principal Investment Risks

·  General. Investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance before
investing. As with all mutual fund investments, loss of money is a risk of
investing. Please read the other risks detailed below that apply to investing in
our Fund.

·  Market Risk. Market risk involves the possibility that the Fund's investments
in equity securities will decline because of falls in the stock market, reducing
the value of individual company's stocks regardless of the success or failure of
an individual company's operations.

·  Equity Securities Risks. Common stocks and other equity securities generally
increase or decrease in value based on the earnings of a company and on general
industry and market conditions, which tend to have greater fluctuations in share
price than a fund that invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed
income securities.

·  Large Cap Company Risk. Larger, more established companies may be unable to
attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies during periods of
economic expansion.

·  Small and Medium Cap Company Risk. Securities of companies with small and
medium market capitalizations are often more volatile and less liquid than
investments in larger companies. Small and medium cap companies may face a
greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of the
Fund's portfolio.

·  Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities can be more volatile than
domestic (U.S.) securities. Securities markets of other countries are generally
smaller than U.S. securities markets. Many foreign securities may also be less
liquid than U.S. securities, which could affect the Fund's investments.

·  Derivatives Risk. The Fund may buy or sell a variety of "derivative"
instruments (such as, options, futures or index-based instruments) in order to
gain exposure to particular securities or markets, in connection with hedging
transactions and to increase total return. The Fund's use of derivative
instruments involves the risk that such instruments may not work as intended due
to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes.

·  Short Sales Risk. The risk of loss if the value of a security sold short
increases prior to the scheduled delivery date because the Fund must pay more
for the security than it has received from the purchaser in the short sale.

·  Options Risk. There are risks that option writing strategies the Fund uses
will not be successful due to market behavior or unexpected events. In buying
call and put options, the Fund may forego its investment should the options fail
to reach their strike prices before expiration. In selling call options, the
Fund receives a premium, but may forego appreciation of the underlying
security. In selling put options, the Fund receives a premium, but may have the
underlying security put to the Fund, at a price greater than its then current
market value.

·  Futures Contracts and Options on Futures Risks. Investments in futures
contracts (or related options) involve substantial risks. The low margin or
premiums normally required in trading index futures contracts may provide a
large amount of leverage, and a relatively small change in the underlying index
or price of the contract can produce a disproportionately larger profit or loss.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund must deposit initial margin in
addition to segregating cash or liquid assets sufficient to meet its obligation
to purchase or provide securities, or to pay the amount owed at the expiration
of an index-based futures contract. Pursuant to the futures contract, the Fund
agrees to receive from, or pay to the broker, an amount of cash equal to the
daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Futures contracts have market risks,
including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not
correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Use of long
futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss up to the notional value of
the futures contract.

·  Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may make changes in its portfolio
consistent with the Fund's policies when we believe doing so is in the best
interest of the Fund. We anticipate Fund turnover to be considerably higher than
that of comparable funds. High turnover may increase transaction costs, increase
taxable gains and negatively affect performance. A high rate of portfolio
turnover is 100% or more. We consider the effects of higher turnover when
evaluating short-term investments.

Performance

The bar chart and table below illustrate the variability of the Fund's returns
and the risks of investing. The bar chart shows how performance of the Fund's
Class A shares (the Class with the longest period of annual returns) has varied
from year to year and does not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales
charges. If sales charges had been reflected, the returns for Class A shares
would be less than those shown below. The performance of Class C shares will
differ due to differences in expenses. The table compares the Fund's performance
to that of a broad-based market index. The Fund's performance, before and after
taxes, is not a prediction of future results. Updated performance is available
on the Fund's website at www.empiricfunds.com and by calling 1-888-839-7424.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual Federal
marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local
taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may
differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to
investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as
401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. The Fund's performance presented
in the table reflects the effects of the maximum applicable sales charge and the
Fund's operating expenses. After tax returns are shown only for the Fund's Class
A shares and after-tax returns for Class C shares will vary.

[1] For single purchases, or purchases aggregating $1 million or more of Class A shares you will not pay an initial sales charge. On these purchases of Class A shares, a deferred sales charge of 1% is levied on redemptions occurring within 12 months of the investment. For Class C shares, the deferred sales charge is applied to redemptions within one year of purchase.

[2] An account maintenance fee of $60 may be charged to accounts that have balances less than the minimum of $5,000 for regular accounts or retirement accounts, or $2,000 for Coverdell Education Savings Accounts.

[1] Restated to reflect projected expenses under a new administrative services arrangement effective February 1, 2013.

[2] Effective February 1, 2013, Empiric Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") has contractually agreed to reduce its management fees and/or reimburse the Fund so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short and liquidity program fees), taxes, 12b-1 fees, any indirect expenses such as acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary litigation expenses) do not exceed 1.73% of the Fund's average daily net assets through February 1, 2014. This expense cap may not be terminated prior to this date except by the Board of Directors. Expenses reimbursed and/or fees reduced by the Advisor may be recouped by the Advisor for a period of three fiscal years following the fiscal year during which such reimbursement or reduction was made if such recoupment can be achieved within the foregoing expense limit.
