Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) Example 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 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return per year and that the Fund's operating expenses remained the same.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. 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 __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds. For purposes of this Item, a "New Fund" is a Fund that does not include in Form N-1A financial statements reporting operating results or that includes financial statements for the Fund's initial fiscal year reporting operating results for a period of 6 months or less.

Include the narrative explanations in the order indicated. A Fund may modify the narrative explanations if the explanation contains comparable information to that shown. The narrative explanation regarding sales charge discounts is only required by a Fund that offers such discounts and should specify the minimum level of investment required to qualify for a discount. Modify the narrative explanation to state that Fund shares are sold on a national securities exchange at the end of the time periods indicated, and that brokerage commissions for buying and selling Fund shares through a broker are not reflected.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 3 -Subsection instructions -Paragraph 1 -Subparagraph b false0Expense Narrative [Text Block]7false 4rr_OperatingExpensesCaptionrr_falsenadurationfalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalselabel1falsefalsefalse00Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) falsefalsefalsexbrli:stringItemTypestringAnnual Fund Operating Expenses (ongoing expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 3 -Subsection table -Paragraph 1 -Subparagraph 7 false0Operating Expenses Caption [Text]8false 4rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeadingrr_falsenadurationfalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalselabel1falsefalsefalse00Portfolio Turnoverfalsefalsefalsexbrli:stringItemTypestringDisclose the portfolio turnover rate provided in response to Item 14(a) for the most recent fiscal year (or for such shorter period as the Fund has been in operation).

Large-Cap companies will generally include companies whose market capitalizations are equal to or greater than the market capitalization of the smallest company in the Russell 1000® Index during the most recent 12-month period. As of the most recent annual reconstitution of the Russell 1000® Index on June 28, 2013, the market capitalization range of the companies in the Index was approximately $1.8 billion to $422 billion. The Portfolio may also invest in equity securities of medium-capitalization companies, short-term investments (up to 20%), foreign securities, including emerging market securities. The Portfolio is actively-managed by two subadvisers. To balance the risks of the Portfolio, a portion of the Portfolio is passively-managed by the adviser who seeks to track an index or a subset of an index. falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

Shares of the Portfolio are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured by any bank, government entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Portfolio will be able to achieve its investment goal. If the value of the assets of the Portfolio goes down, you could lose money. The following is a summary description of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio. Equity Securities Risk. The Portfolio invests principally in equity securities and is therefore subject to the risk that stock prices will fall and may underperform other asset classes. Individual stock prices fluctuate from day-to-day and may decline significantly. The prices of individual stocks may be negatively affected by poor company results or other factors affecting individual prices, as well as industry and/or economic trends and developments affecting industries or the securities market as a whole. Large-Capitalization Companies Risk. Large-cap companies tend to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. In exchange for this potentially lower risk, the Portfolio’s value may not rise as much as the value of portfolios that emphasize smaller companies. Growth Stock Risk. Growth stocks can be volatile for several reasons. Since the issuers usually reinvest a high portion of earnings in their own business, growth stocks may lack the dividend yield associated with value stocks that can cushion total return in a bear market. Also, growth stocks normally carry a higher price/earnings ratio than many other stocks. Consequently, if earnings expectations are not met, the market price of growth stocks will often go down more than other stocks. However, the market frequently rewards growth stocks with price increases when expectations are met or exceeded. Securities Selection Risk. A strategy used by the Portfolio, or individual securities selected by the portfolio managers, may fail to produce the intended return. Foreign Investment Risk. The value of your investment may be affected by fluctuating currency values, changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, and greater market volatility. In addition, foreign securities may not be as liquid as domestic securities. Emerging Markets Risk. The risks associated with investment in foreign securities are heightened when issuers of these securities are in developing or “emerging market” countries. Emerging market countries may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in economic conditions than developed countries. As a result, these markets are generally more volatile than the markets of developed countries. Indexing Risk. The passively-managed index portion of the Portfolio generally will not sell securities in its portfolio and buy different securities over the course of a year other than in conjunction with changes in its target index, even if there are adverse developments concerning a particular security, company or industry. As a result, you may suffer losses that you would not experience with an actively-managed mutual fund. Medium-Capitalization Companies Risk. Securities of medium-cap companies are usually more volatile and entail greater risks than securities of large companies. Affiliated Fund Rebalancing Risk. The Portfolio may be an investment option for other mutual funds for which SAAMCo serves as investment adviser that are managed as “fund of funds.” From time to time, the Portfolio may experience relatively large redemptions or investments due to the rebalancing of a fund of funds. In the event of such redemptions or investments, the Portfolio could be required to sell securities or to invest cash at a time when it is not advantageous to do so. Market Risk. The Portfolio’s share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings. The market as a whole can decline for many reasons, including adverse political or economic developments in the U.S. or abroad, changes in investor psychology, or heavy institutional selling. The prospects for a sector, an industry or an issuer may deteriorate because of a variety of factors, including disappointing earnings or changes in the competitive environment. In addition, the adviser’s or a subadviser’s assessment of companies held in the Portfolio may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance even in a rising market. Finally, the Portfolio’s investment approach could fall out of favor with the investing public, resulting in lagging performance versus other comparable portfolios. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services. falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaNarrative Risk Disclosure.
