Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio intends to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies principally engaged in the technology sector. Such companies include, among others, those in internet products and services, computers, electronics, hardware and components, communications, software, e-commerce, information services, healthcare equipment and services, including medical devices, biotechnology, chemical products and synthetic materials, defense and aerospace, environmental services, nanotechnology, energy equipment and services, electronic manufacturing services, data and payment processing, and outsourced services. In addition, securities of companies in the technology sector may include financial instruments that derive their value from the securities of such companies. The Portfolio may invest in companies of any size and can invest in securities of both U.S. and foreign companies. The Portfolio intends to invest primarily in common stocks, but it may also invest in other securities that a Sub-Adviser believes provide opportunities for capital growth. Equitable Investment Management Group, LLC (the “Adviser”) will generally allocate the Portfolio’s assets among three or more Sub-Advisers, each of which manages its portion of the Portfolio using different yet complementary investment strategies. Under normal circumstances, one or more portions of the Portfolio will be actively managed (“Active Allocated Portions”), one portion of the Portfolio will invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (“ETF Allocated Portion”), and another portion of the Portfolio will seek to track the performance of a particular index (“Index Allocated Portion”). Under normal circumstances, the Adviser allocates approximately 50% of the Portfolio’s net assets among the Active Allocated Portions, approximately 30% of the Portfolio’s net assets to the ETF Allocated Portion, and approximately 20% of the Portfolio’s net assets to the Index Allocated Portion. These percentages are targets established by the Adviser; actual allocations to the Active Allocated Portions and Index Allocated Portion may deviate from these targets by up to 20% of the Portfolio’s net assets, and the actual allocation to the ETF Allocated Portion may deviate from the target by up to 5% of the Portfolio’s net assets. The Active Allocated Portions’ Sub-Advisers select securities based upon fundamental analysis, such as an analysis of earnings, cash flows, competitive position and management’s abilities. A Sub-Adviser may sell a security for a variety of reasons, such as to make other investments believed by the Sub-Adviser to offer superior investment opportunities. The ETF Allocated Portion invests in ETFs that meet the investment criteria of the Portfolio as a whole. The ETFs in which the ETF Allocated Portion may invest may be changed from time to time without notice or shareholder approval. An investor in the Portfolio will bear the expenses of the Portfolio as well as the indirect expenses associated with the ETFs held by the ETF Allocated Portion and, if applicable, the Index Allocated Portion. The Index Allocated Portion seeks to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of the S&P North American Technology Sector Index with minimal tracking error. This strategy is commonly referred to as an indexing strategy. Generally, the Index Allocated Portion uses a full replication technique, although in certain instances a sampling approach may be utilized for a portion of the Index Allocated Portion. The Index Allocated Portion also may invest in ETFs that seek to track the S&P North American Technology Sector Index to obtain comparable exposure as the index without buying the underlying securities comprising the index. The Portfolio will concentrate its investments in the related group of industries consisting of the technology industries (e.g., computers, electronics (including hardware and components), communications, software, e-commerce, information service, biotechnology, chemical products and synthetic materials, and defense and aerospace industries).

Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Market Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Market Risk The Portfolio is subject to the risk that the securities markets will move down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based on overall economic conditions and other factors, which may negatively affect Portfolio performance. Securities markets also may experience long periods of decline in value. The value of a security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the market as a whole. Any issuer of securities may perform poorly, causing the value of its securities to decline. Poor performance may be caused by a variety of factors, such as poor management decisions; reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services; competitive pressures; negative perception in the marketplace; loss of major customers; strategic initiatives such as mergers or acquisitions and the market response to any such initiatives; and the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer. The value of a security also may decline due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation rates and/or investor expectations concerning such rates, changes in interest rates, recessions, or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. Even when securities markets perform well, there can be no assurance that the investments held by the Portfolio will increase in value along with the broader market. Changes in the financial condition of (or other event affecting) a single issuer can impact an individual sector or industry, or the securities markets as a whole. The value of a security also may decline due to factors that affect a particular sector or industry, such as tariffs, labor shortages, or increased production costs and competitive conditions within the sector or industry. Geopolitical events, including acts of terrorism, tensions, war or other open conflicts between nations, or political or economic dysfunction within nations that are global economic powers or major oil or other commodities producers, may lead to overall instability in world economies and markets generally and have led, and may in the future lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects. World markets, or those in a particular region, may all react in similar fashion to economic, political or other developments. Events such as environmental and natural disasters or other catastrophes, public health crises (such as epidemics and pandemics), social unrest, and cybersecurity incidents, and governments’ reactions (or failure to react) to such events, could cause uncertainty in the markets and may adversely affect the performance of the global economy. Impacts from climate change may include significant risks to global financial assets and economic growth. The extent and duration of such events and resulting market disruptions could be substantial and could magnify the impact of other risks to the Portfolio. The value and liquidity of the Portfolio’s investments may be negatively affected by developments in other countries and regions, whether or not the Portfolio invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries or regions directly affected. Changes in government or central bank policies, changes in existing laws and regulations, and political, diplomatic and other events within the United States and abroad could cause uncertainty in the markets, may affect investor and consumer confidence, and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. High public debt and deficits in the United States and other countries create ongoing systemic and market risks and policymaking uncertainty and may negatively affect economic conditions and the values of markets, sectors and companies in which the Portfolio invests. In addition, markets and market participants are increasingly reliant on information data systems. Inaccurate data, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access, and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems and may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, a group of issuers, or the market at large. Furthermore, impacts from the rapidly growing use of artificial intelligence technologies, including by market participants, may include significant risks to global financial markets.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Equity Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Equity Risk In general, the values of stocks and other equity securities fluctuate, and sometimes widely fluctuate, in response to changes in a company’s financial condition as well as general market, economic and political conditions and other factors. Stock markets tend to run in cycles, with periods when stock prices generally go up and periods when stock prices generally go down. However, stock markets also can move up and down rapidly and unpredictably. In addition, common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, which increase borrowing costs and the costs of capital. The Portfolio may experience a significant or complete loss on its investment in an equity security.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Technology Sector Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Technology Sector Risk The value of the shares of a Portfolio that invests primarily in technology companies is particularly vulnerable to factors affecting the technology sector, such as dependency on consumer and business acceptance as new technologies evolve, large and rapid price movements resulting from competition, rapid obsolescence of products and services and short product cycles. Many technology companies are small and at an earlier stage of development and, therefore, may be subject to risks such as those arising out of limited product lines, markets and financial and managerial resources. Any of these factors could result in a material adverse impact on the Portfolio’s holdings and the performance of the Portfolio.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Sector Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Sector Risk To the extent the Portfolio invests more heavily in particular sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, than the broader market. The industries that constitute a sector may all react in the same way to economic, political, regulatory or other events. The Portfolio may have significant exposure to one or more sectors of the market through its direct investments in securities of operating companies as well as indirectly through its investments in ETFs.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Large-Cap Company Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Large-Cap Company Risk Larger more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, which may lead to a decline in their market price. Many larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Investment Style Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Investment Style Risk The Portfolio may use a particular style or set of styles — in this case, a “growth” style — to select investments. A particular style may be out of favor or may not produce the best results over short or longer time periods. Growth stocks may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks. Growth investing also is subject to the risk that the stock price of one or more companies will fall or will fail to appreciate as anticipated by the Portfolio, regardless of movements in the securities market. Growth stocks also tend to be more volatile than value stocks, so in a declining market their prices may decrease more than value stocks in general. Growth stocks also may increase the volatility of the Portfolio’s share price.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Foreign Securities Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Foreign Securities Risk Investments in foreign securities involve risks in addition to those associated with investments in U.S. securities. Foreign markets may be less liquid, more volatile and subject to less government supervision and regulation than U.S. markets, and it may take more time to clear and settle trades involving foreign securities, which could negatively impact the Portfolio’s investments and cause it to lose money. Security values also may be negatively affected by changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Differences between U.S. and foreign legal, political and economic systems, regulatory regimes and market practices, as well as changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers and other protectionist trade policies (including those of the United States), tariffs, governmental instability, acts of terrorism, war or other open conflicts, or other political, diplomatic or economic actions, also may adversely impact security values. Foreign securities are also subject to the risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries. World markets, or those in a particular region, may all react in similar fashion to economic, political or other developments. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable and make such investments riskier and more volatile. Regardless of where a company is organized or its stock is traded, its performance may be significantly affected by events in regions from which it derives its profits or in which it conducts significant operations.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Currency Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Currency RiskInvestments that are denominated in or that provide exposure to foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Any such decline may erode or reverse any potential gains from an investment in securities denominated in foreign currency or may widen existing loss. In the case of hedging positions, there is the risk that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Index Strategy Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Index Strategy Risk The Portfolio employs an index strategy for a portion of the Portfolio and generally will not modify its index strategy to respond to changes in market trends or the economy, which means that the Portfolio may be particularly susceptible to a general decline in the market segment relating to the relevant index. In addition, although the index strategy attempts to closely track the relevant index, the Portfolio may not invest in all of the securities in the index. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the performance of the index strategy will match that of the relevant index. To the extent that the Portfolio utilizes a representative sampling approach, it may experience greater tracking error than it would if the Portfolio sought to replicate the index.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | ETFs Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock ETFs Risk When the Portfolio invests in an ETF, it will indirectly bear its proportionate share of the fees and expenses incurred by the ETF. These fees and expenses are in addition to the advisory fees and other expenses that the Portfolio and its shareholders bear directly in connection with the Portfolio’s own operations. As a result, the Portfolio’s shareholders will be subject to two layers of fees and expenses with respect to investments in the Portfolio. The cost of investing in the Portfolio, therefore, may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual stocks and bonds. In addition, the Portfolio’s net asset value will be subject to fluctuations in the market values of the ETFs in which it invests. The Portfolio is also subject to the risks associated with the securities or other investments in which the ETFs invest, and the ability of the Portfolio to meet its investment objective will directly depend on the ability of the ETFs to meet their investment objectives. A passively managed (or index-based) ETF’s performance may not match that of the index it seeks to track. An actively managed ETF’s performance will reflect its manager’s ability to make investment decisions that are suited to achieving the ETF’s investment objective. Furthermore, it is possible that an active trading market for an ETF may not develop or be maintained, in which case the liquidity and value of the Portfolio’s investment in the ETF could be substantially and adversely affected. The extent to which the investment performance and risks associated with the Portfolio correlate to those of a particular ETF will depend upon the extent to which the Portfolio’s assets are allocated from time to time for investment in the ETF, which will vary.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Portfolio Management Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Portfolio Management Risk The Portfolio is subject to the risk that strategies used by an investment manager and its securities selections fail to produce the intended results. An investment manager’s judgments or decisions about the quality, relative yield or value of, or market trends affecting, a particular security or issuer, industry, sector, region or market segment, or about the economy or interest rates, may be incorrect or otherwise may not produce the intended results, which may result in losses to the Portfolio. In addition, many processes used in Portfolio management, including security selection, rely, in whole or in part, on the use of various technologies. The Portfolio may suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, or the analyses employed or relied on, by an investment manager, or if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly, fail to produce the desired results, or otherwise do not work as intended. There can be no assurance that the use of these technologies will result in effective investment decisions for the Portfolio. In addition, the Portfolio could experience losses if an investment manager’s judgments about the risks associated with the Portfolio’s investment program prove to be incorrect.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Company Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Company Risk Mid-cap and small-cap companies carry additional risks because the operating histories of these companies tend to be more limited, their earnings and revenues less predictable (and some companies may be experiencing significant losses), and their share prices more volatile than those of larger, more established companies, all of which can negatively affect their value. In general, these risks are greater for small-cap companies than for mid-cap companies.
Multimanager Technology Portfolio | Multiple Sub-Adviser Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock Multiple Sub-Adviser Risk To a significant extent, the Portfolio’s performance will depend on the success of the Adviser in allocating the Portfolio’s assets to Sub-Advisers and its selection and oversight of the Sub-Advisers. The Sub-Advisers’ investment strategies may not work together as planned, which could adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance. The Sub-Advisers’ investment convictions may result in the Portfolio investing more significantly in a single issuer, making the Portfolio more susceptible to events affecting that issuer. Because each Sub-Adviser directs the trading for its own portion of the Portfolio and does not aggregate its transactions with those of the other Sub-Adviser(s), the Portfolio may incur higher brokerage costs than would be the case if a single Sub-Adviser were managing the entire Portfolio. In addition, while the Adviser seeks to allocate the Portfolio’s assets among the Portfolio’s Sub-Advisers in a manner that it believes is consistent with achieving the Portfolio’s investment objective(s), the Adviser is subject to conflicts of interest in allocating the Portfolio’s assets among Sub-Advisers, including affiliated Sub-Advisers, because the Adviser pays different fees to the Sub-Advisers and due to other factors that could impact the Adviser’s or its affiliates’ revenues and profits.

[1] Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement information has been restated to reflect the current Expense Limitation Arrangement.
[2] Pursuant to a contract, Equitable Investment Management Group, LLC (the “Adviser”) has agreed to waive its and its affiliates’ management, administrative and other fees and, if necessary, make payments to the Portfolio to limit the expenses of the Portfolio through April 30, 2026 (unless the Board of Trustees consents to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) (“Expense Limitation Arrangement”) so that the annual operating expenses of the Portfolio (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, capitalized expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Portfolio’s business) do not exceed an annual rate of average daily net assets of 1.17% for Class IB shares and 0.92% for Class K shares of the Portfolio. The Expense Limitation Arrangement may be terminated by the Adviser at any time after April 30, 2026. The Adviser may be reimbursed the amount of any such waivers or payments in the future provided that the waivers or payments are reimbursed within three years of the waivers or payments being recorded and the Portfolio’s expense ratio, after the reimbursement is taken into account, does not exceed the Portfolio’s expense cap at the time of the waiver or the Portfolio’s expense cap at the time of the reimbursement, whichever is lower.
