FMI Large Cap Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Expense, Heading rr_ExpenseHeading Fees and Expenses of the Fund:
Expense, Narrative rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if
you buy and hold shares of the Fund.
Shareholder Fees, Caption rr_ShareholderFeesCaption Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Operating Expenses, Caption rr_OperatingExpensesCaption Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Portfolio Turnover, Heading rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading Portfolio Turnover
Portfolio Turnover rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock
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 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 28% of the average value of its portfolio.
Portfolio Turnover, Rate rr_PortfolioTurnoverRate 28.00%
Expense Example, Heading rr_ExpenseExampleHeading Example
Expense Example, Narrative rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock
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 redeem all of your shares at the end of these periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
Fund's operating expenses remain the same.
Expense Example, By Year, Caption rr_ExpenseExampleByYearCaption Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
Investment Strategy, Heading rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies:
Investment Strategy, Narrative rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock
The Fund invests mainly in a limited number of large capitalization (namely,
companies with more than $5 billion market capitalization) value stocks of
companies listed or traded on a national securities exchange or on a national
securities association, including foreign securities traded on a national
securities exchange or on a national securities association. In addition,
the Fund invests in American Depositary Receipts or "ADRs" which are
dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers traded in the U.S.

The Fund may invest in ADRs through both sponsored and unsponsored
arrangements. Issuers of the securities underlying sponsored ADRs, but not
unsponsored ADRs, are contractually obligated to disclose material information
in the United States. Therefore, the market value of unsponsored ADRs is less
likely to reflect the effect of such information.

The Fund uses fundamental analysis to look for stocks of good businesses that
are selling at value prices in an effort to achieve above average performance
with below average risk. The Fund believes good businesses have some or all of
the following characteristics:

o A strong, defendable market niche or products and services niche that is
difficult to replicate

o A high degree of relative recurring revenue

o Modestly priced products or services

o Attractive return-on-investment economics (namely, where return on investment
exceeds a company's cost of capital over a three to five year period)

o Above-average growth or improving profitability prospects

The Fund considers valuation:

o On both an absolute and relative to the market basis

o Utilizing both historical and prospective analysis

In reviewing companies, the Fund applies the characteristics identified above on
a case-by-case basis as the order of importance varies depending on the type of
business or industry and the company being reviewed.

The Fund's portfolio managers will generally sell a portfolio security when they
believe:

o The security has achieved its value potential

o Such sale is necessary for portfolio diversification

o Changing fundamentals signal a deteriorating value potential

o Other securities have a better value potential
Risk, Heading rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks:
Risk, Narrative rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your money on your
investment in the Fund. This risk may increase during times of significant
market volatility. The risks below could affect the value of your
investment, and because of these risks the Fund is a suitable investment
only for those investors who have long-term investment goals:

o Stock Market Risk: The prices of the securities in which the Fund invests may
decline for a number of reasons. The price declines of common stocks, in
particular, may be steep, sudden and/or prolonged. Price changes may occur in
the market as a whole, or they may occur in only a particular company, industry,
or sector of the market.

o Medium Capitalization Companies Risk: Medium capitalization companies tend
to be more susceptible to adverse business or economic events than large
capitalization companies, and there is a risk that the securities of medium
capitalization companies may have limited liquidity and greater price volatility
than securities of large capitalization companies.

o Non-Diversification Risk: Because the Fund is non-diversified (meaning that
compared to diversified mutual funds, the Fund may invest a greater percentage
of its assets in a particular issuer), the Fund's shares may be more susceptible
to adverse changes in the value of a particular security than would be the
shares of a diversified mutual fund. Thus, the Fund is more sensitive to
economic, business and political changes which may result in greater price
fluctuations of the Fund's shares.

o Value Investing Risk: The Fund's portfolio managers may be wrong in their
assessment of a company's value and the stocks the Fund holds may not reach what
the portfolio managers believe are their full values. From time to time "value"
investing falls out of favor with investors. During these periods, the Fund's
relative performance may suffer.

o Foreign Securities Risk:  Stocks of non-U.S. companies as an asset class may
underperform stocks of U.S. companies, and such stocks may be less liquid and
more volatile than stocks of U.S. companies. The costs associated with
securities transactions are often higher in foreign countries than the U.S. The
U.S. dollar value of foreign securities traded in foreign currencies (and any
dividends and interest earned) held by the Fund may be affected favorably or
unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. An increase in the
U.S. dollar relative to these other currencies will adversely affect the Fund,
if the positions are not fully hedged. Additionally, investments in foreign
securities, whether or not publicly traded in the United States, may involve
risks which are in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. Foreign
companies may not be subject to the same regulatory requirements of U.S.
companies and, as a consequence, there may be less publicly available
information about such companies. Also, foreign companies may not be subject to
uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements
comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. Foreign governments and
foreign economies often are less stable than the U.S. Government and the U.S.
economy.

o Market Timing Risk: Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by a
shareholder may harm other Fund shareholders by interfering with the efficient
management of the Fund's portfolio, increasing brokerage and administrative
costs, and potentially diluting the value of their shares. However, the Fund's
Board of Directors has determined not to adopt policies and procedures that
discourage frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares because the
Fund has not experienced frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares
that have been disruptive to the Fund. The Fund's Board of Directors may
reconsider its decision not to adopt policies and procedures if it determines
there is unusual trading in Fund shares.
Risk, Lose Money rr_RiskLoseMoney There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your money on your investment in the Fund.
Risk, Nondiversified Status rr_RiskNondiversifiedStatus Because the Fund is non-diversified (meaning that compared to diversified mutual funds, the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer), the Fund's shares may be more susceptible to adverse changes in the value of a particular security than would be the shares of a diversified mutual fund. Thus, the Fund is more sensitive to economic, business and political changes which may result in greater price fluctuations of the Fund's shares.

Performance, Narrative rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of
investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from
year to year and how the Fund's average annual returns over time compare to the
performance of the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks ("S&P
500"). For additional information on this index, please see "Index Descriptions"
in the Prospectus. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not
necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated

Performance Table, Explanation after Tax Higher rr_PerformanceTableExplanationAfterTaxHigher In certain cases, the figure representing "Return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares" may be higher than the other return figures for the same period, since a higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

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. In certain cases, the figure representing "Return after
taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares" may be higher than the other
return figures for the same period, since a higher after-tax return results when
a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that
benefits the investor. The after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors
