This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Portfolio. The Portfolio’s annual operating expenses do not reflect the separate account fees charged in the variable annuity or variable life insurance policy (“Variable Contracts”), in which the Portfolio is offered. If the separate account’s fees were shown, the Portfolio’s annual operating expenses would be higher. Please see your Variable Contract prospectus for more details on the separate account fees.

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock

The Portfolio 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. These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 56% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not reflect charges imposed by the Variable Contract. If the Variable Contract fees were reflected, the expenses would be higher. See the Variable Contract prospectus for information on such charges. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions and the net expenses shown in the fee table, your costs would be:

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies of the Portfolio
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Portfolio attempts to achieve its investment goal by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities, including U.S. and foreign government securities, asset- and mortgage-backed securities, investment-grade debt securities, and lower-rated fixed income securities, or junk bonds (up to 20% of net assets).


The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities (up to 30% of net assets) and in short-term investments (up to 20% of net assets).


The Portfolio’s assets are not necessarily divided equally among the subadvisers. Although approximately 50% of the Portfolio’s assets will be allocated to one subadviser, which will passively manage a portion of the assets allocated to it by seeking to track an index or a subset of an index. The remainder of the Portfolio’s assets will be allocated to the other subadviser. The Portfolio’s target allocations among the subadvisers are subject to change.

Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks of Investing in the Portfolio
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

There can be no assurance that the Portfolio’s investment goal will be met or that the net return on an investment in the Portfolio will exceed what could have been obtained through other investment or savings vehicles. 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.


Risk of Investing in Bonds. The value of your investment in the Portfolio may go up or down in response to changes in interest rates or defaults (or even the potential for future defaults) by bond issuers.


Interest Rate Fluctuations Risk. Fixed income securities may be subject to volatility due to changes in interest rates. Longer-term and lower coupon bonds tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. Interest rates have been historically low, so the Portfolio faces a heightened risk that interest rates may rise.


Risk of Investing in Junk Bonds. The Portfolio invests significantly in junk bonds, which are considered speculative. Junk bonds carry a substantial risk of default or changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness, or they may already be in default at the time of purchase.


Credit Risk. Credit risk applies to most debt securities, but is generally not a factor for obligations backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government. The Portfolio could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable or perceived to be unable to pay interest or repay principal when it becomes due.


Foreign Investment Risk. The Portfolio’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Portfolio invests may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the Portfolio’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability. Lack of information may also affect the value of these securities. The risks of foreign investments are heightened when investing in issuers in emerging market countries.


U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government and generally have negligible credit risk. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.


Foreign Sovereign Debt Risk. Foreign sovereign debt securities are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt. If a governmental entity defaults, it may ask for more time in which to pay or for further loans.


Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. The characteristics of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities differ from traditional fixed income securities. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to “prepayment risk” and “extension risk.” Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, certain types of obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated and the Portfolio may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. Extension risk is the risk that, when interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated causing the value of these securities to fall. Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.


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.


Affiliated Fund Rebalancing Risk. The Portfolio may be an investment option for other mutual funds for which SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC serves as investment adviser that are managed as “funds 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.


Management Risk. The Portfolio is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Portfolio’s portfolio managers apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions or individual securities selected by the portfolio managers will produce the desired results.


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. In addition, the subadviser’s assessment of companies held in the Portfolio may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance even in a rising market.


Issuer Risk. 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.

The following Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table illustrate the risks of investing in shares of the Portfolio by showing changes in the Portfolio’s performance from calendar year to calendar year and comparing the Portfolio’s average annual returns to those of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, Barclays U.S. Government Bond Index, Barclays U.S. Corporate IG Index, Barclays U.S. Agency Fixed Rate MBS Index and Barclays CMBS ERISA Eligible Index. Fees and expenses incurred at the contract level are not reflected in the bar chart or table. If these amounts were reflected, returns would be less than those shown. Of course, past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Portfolio will perform in the future.
