The Adviser believes government policies are a precursor to change, and as a result, it monitors and tracks the fiscal and monetary policies of the world's largest countries both in terms of economic stature and population. The Adviser focuses on historical and socioeconomic cycles, and it applies both statistical and fundamental models, including "growth at a reasonable price" (GARP), to identify companies with superior growth and value metrics. The Adviser overlays these explicit knowledge models with the tacit knowledge obtained by domestic and global travel for first-hand observation of local and geopolitical conditions, as well as specific companies and projects. The Adviser's "bottom-up" stock selection approach is generally characterized as growth at a reasonable price, which focuses on three key drivers: revenue growth, cash flow and return on equity. The Adviser searches for growth companies that have strong fundamentals and are also trading at reasonable valuations. Under normal market conditions, the China Region Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity and equity-related securities of companies located in the China region. The equity and equity-related securities in which the fund primarily invests are common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, rights and warrants, and depository receipts (ADRs and GDRs). The China region is defined as any country that either shares a border with China or is located in the South China Sea or the East China Sea and includes: the People's Republic of China (PRC or China), Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Korea,Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand and Vietnam. The fund will consider investments in the China region to be the following: 1. securities of issuers organized under the laws of the countries within the China region; 2. securities of issuers that have at least 50% of their assets in one or more China region countries; 3. securities of issuers that derive at least 50% of their gross revenues or profits from providing goods or services to or from one or more China region countries; or 4. securities of issuers that are primarily traded on the China, Taiwan or Hong Kong exchanges. The China Region Fund will invest in both established and emerging companies registered and operating in China and the China region. These will include wholly Chinese-owned enterprises, wholly foreign-owned enterprises and Sino-foreign joint ventures. While portfolio holdings may be geographically dispersed, the fund anticipates that the trading activities of the fund in People's Republic of China (PRC) securities will be focused in the authorized China securities market; in particular, the Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges. Trading activities of the fund in securities other than PRC securities will usually take place on the Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia stock exchanges. The fund is non-diversified and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer in comparison to a diversified fund. The Adviser uses a matrix of statistical models to monitor market volatility and money flows, and as a result, it may at times maintain higher than normal cash levels.</pre>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund. Summarize how the Fund intends to achieve its investment objectives by identifying the Fund's principal investment strategies (including the type or types of securities in which the Fund invests or will invest principally) and any policy to concentrate in securities of issuers in a particular industry or group of industries.Reference 1: 1 -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 4 -Subsection a falsefalseInvestment Strategy, Narrative22false0rr_RiskHeadingrrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1falsefalsefalse00Principal RisksfalsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherxbrli:stringItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.Reference 1: 1 -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 4 -Paragraph 1 -Subsection b falsefalseRisk, Heading23false0rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlockrrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1falsefalsefalse00<pre>&#x2022; Main Risk. As with all mutual funds, loss of money is a risk of investing in the fund. &#x2022; Market Risk. The value of the fund's shares will go up and down based on the performance of the companies whose securities it owns and other factors affecting the securities market generally. &#x2022; Portfolio Management Risk. The skill of the Adviser will play a significant role in the fund's ability to achieve its investment objectives. There is a risk that the investment strategy does not achieve the fund's objectives or that the Adviser does not implement the strategy properly. &#x2022; Foreign Securities Risk/Emerging Markets Risk. The fund's investments in foreign securities are subject to special risks. The fund's returns and share price may be affected to a large degree by several factors including, fluctuations in currency exchange rates; political, social or economic instability; and less stringent accounting, disclosure and financial reporting requirements in a particular country. These risks are generally intensified in emerging markets, which include those countries in which the fund invests. The fund's share prices will reflect the movements of the different stock markets in which it is invested and the currencies in which its investments are denominated. &#x2022; Geographic Concentration Risk. The fund concentrates its investments in companies located in the China region. Because of this, companies in the fund's portfolio may react similarly to political, social, and economic developments in any of the China region countries. For example, many companies in the same region may be dependent on related government fiscal policies. Companies may be adversely affected by new or unanticipated legislative changes that could affect the value of such companies and, therefore, a fund's share price. A fund's return and share price may be more volatile than those of a less concentrated portfolio. &#x2022; Government Relationship Risk. While companies in China may be subject to limitations on their business relationships under Chinese law, these laws may not be consistent with certain political and security concerns of the U.S. As a result, Chinese companies may have material direct or indirect business relationships with governments that are considered state sponsors of terrorism by the U.S. government, or governments that otherwise have policies in conflict with the U.S. government (an "Adverse Government"). If the China Region Fund invests in companies that have or develop a material business relationship with an Adverse Government, then the fund will be subject to the risk that these companies' reputation and price in the market will be adversely or negatively affected. &#x2022; Sector Risk. The fund may invest a significant amount of its total assets in certain sectors, which may be subject to specific risks. These risks include governmental regulation of the sector and governmental monetary and fiscal policies which may negatively affect a particular sector. In addition, governmental policies towards international trade and tariffs may affect particular sectors. &#x2022; Growth Stock Risk. Growth stocks generally experience share price fluctuations as the market reacts to changing perceptions of the underlying companies' growth potentials and broader economic activities. &#x2022; Non-Diversification Risk. The fund is non-diversified and may invest a significant portion of its total assets in a small number of companies. This may cause the performance of the fund to be dependent upon the performance of one or more selected companies, which may increase the volatility of the fund.</pre>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.
