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 its most recent fiscal year, the Fund had a portfolio turnover rate of 22% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategy.
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations.  For purposes of the 80% policy, net assets include any borrowings for investment purposes.  In constructing a portfolio for the Fund, the Fund’s subadviser, Netols Asset Management, Inc. (“Netols”), selects stocks it believes are undervalued and exhibit potential “change factor” characteristics.  Netols defines a small capitalization company as any company with a market capitalization no larger than the largest company included in the Russell 2000® Value Index at the time of initial investment.  As of February 29, 2016, the largest market capitalization of a company in the Russell 2000® Value Index was $4.97 billion and the weighted average market capitalization was $1.63 billion.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Investment Risks.
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Market Risks.  The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk, which may cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline.  If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, the share price of the Fund will go down, and you may lose money.  U.S. and international markets have experienced extreme volatility, reduced liquidity, credit downgrades, increased likelihood of default and valuation difficulties in recent years.


Equity Securities Risks.  Common stocks and other equity securities held by the Fund will fluctuate in value based on the earnings of the company and on general industry and market conditions, leading to fluctuations in the Fund’s share price.


Stock Selection Risks.  The stocks selected for the Fund may decline in value or not increase in value when the stock market in general is rising.


Value Investing Risks.  Netols invests in companies that it believes are undervalued.  Such companies may never increase in price or pay dividends, or may decline even further if the market fails to recognize the company’s value.


Small Capitalization Company Risks.  Securities of companies with small market capitalizations are often more volatile, less liquid and more susceptible to market pressures than larger companies.


Management Risks.  The Fund is subject to management risk as an actively-managed investment portfolio and depends on the decisions of the portfolio manager to produce the desired results.


Cybersecurity Risks.  Despite the various protections utilized by the Fund and its service providers, systems, networks, or devices utilized by the Fund potentially can be breached.  The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach.
Risk Lose Money [Text] rr_RiskLoseMoney If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, the share price of the Fund will go down, and you may lose money.
Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] rr_BarChartAndPerformanceTableHeading Performance.
Performance Narrative [Text Block] rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

The return information provided in the following bar chart and table illustrates how the performance of the Fund can vary, which is one indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.  The bar chart shows the changes in the performance of Institutional Class shares of the Fund from year to year.  The table shows how the average annual returns of Institutional Class shares compare with a broad measure of market performance.  Because Service Class shares are new, the returns shown in the bar chart and performance table are for Institutional Class shares of the Fund.  Service Class shares would have substantially similar annual returns because the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the annual returns would differ only to the extent that the share classes have different expenses.  The performance of Service Class shares typically would have been lower than Institutional Class shares because Service Class shares have higher expenses.  Please keep in mind that the Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily represent how it will perform in the future.  Updated performance data is available on the Company’s website at www.frontiermutualfunds.com or by calling toll-free to 1-888-825-2100.

[1] The Institutional Class commenced operations on December 16, 2005.
[2] Because Service Class shares are new, Additional Other Expenses are estimated based on other expenses for Institutional Class shares of the Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.
[3] Pursuant to an expense cap agreement between Frontegra Asset Management, Inc. ("Frontegra"), the Fund's investment adviser, and the Fund, Frontegra has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund's operating expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses ("AFFE") and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Service Class shares. Frontegra is entitled to recoup the fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed within a three-year period from the time the expenses were incurred to the extent of the expense limitation described above and in place at the time of recoupment. The expense cap agreement will continue in effect until October 31, 2018, with successive renewal terms of one year unless terminated by Frontegra or the Company prior to any such renewal.
