Portfolio Turnover rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock
The Defensive Growth 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 the most recent fiscal period of January 31, 2011 through
September 30, 2011, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 30.40% of the average
value of its portfolio.

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
Defensive Growth 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 those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
Fund's operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the Expense Caps
only in the first year).

Investment Strategy, Heading rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Investment Strategy, Narrative rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock
Under normal market conditions, the Defensive Growth Fund will invest in
multiple open-end and closed-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds
("ETFs") in an attempt to preserve capital and produce positive returns
regardless of broad equity and debt market direction. The mutual funds and ETFs
(together, the "Underlying Funds") in which the Fund invests have the ability to
pursue their own investment strategies including, but not limited to: long-only
strategies (Underlying Fund can only purchase securities), short-only strategies
(Underlying Fund only sells securities short), long-short strategies (Underlying
Fund can both purchase securities and sell securities short), arbitrage
strategies (Underlying Fund attempts to profit from simultaneously purchasing
one security and selling another security) and global macroeconomic strategies
(Underlying Fund attempts to profit from price movements in global equity,
currency, interest rate and commodity markets).

The Underlying Funds also have the ability to pursue their own sector exposures
by investing in different asset classes, including, but not limited to: domestic
and foreign equity securities of all types of issuers (including common and
preferred stocks of any size market capitalization); domestic and foreign debt
securities of all types of issuers (including corporate and government debt
securities) and all maturities and ratings (including high-yield debt
securities); mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities; foreign
currencies; commodities or in instruments whose performance is linked to the
price of an underlying commodity or commodity index; other investment companies;
or any combination thereof. The foreign securities in which the Underlying Funds
invest may be those of emerging markets. The Underlying Funds may also invest in
derivatives such as options, futures, swaps and credit default swaps which
provide a low cost, effective way for the Fund to gain exposure to certain
securities. The Adviser itself does not use leverage or invest in
derivatives. The Defensive Growth Fund's multiple strategy and sector approach
seeks to provide greater overall returns with similar volatility when compared
to the Hedge Fund Research, Inc. ("HFRI") Hedge Fund of Funds Composite
Index. The Fund, however, is not a hedge fund.

The Adviser employs a rigorous process in an attempt to construct a portfolio of
Underlying Funds that will preserve capital and generate positive returns in all
market environments. The Adviser begins the portfolio construction process by
screening the universe of Underlying Funds using qualitative inputs such as fund
strategy, assets under management, fund expenses, and manager tenure, and
quantitative inputs based on historical returns, standard deviation and variance
of returns, value added by the Underlying Fund managers and the Underlying
Fund's sensitivity to broad market movements. Second, managers of Underlying
Funds that make it past the initial screen are interviewed by the Adviser. Last,
the actual selection and weight of each Underlying Fund is determined by how
each Underlying Fund contributes to expected portfolio returns, in addition to
the Adviser's forward looking outlook for each sector and strategy. No single
Underlying Fund will have a position size greater than 20% of net assets based
on cost at the time of investment.

Underlying Funds can be sold for a number of reasons and are reviewed on a
case-by-case basis. Reasons for selling an Underlying Fund include, but are not
limited to: underperformance of the Underlying Fund vs. peers or expectations,
identification of a more attractive Underlying Fund, identification of a lower
cost Underlying Fund, an increase in volatility of the Underlying Fund's
returns, an unwanted change or drift in an Underlying Fund's strategy, or a
change in the Underlying Fund's management.

Because the Defensive Growth Fund is a "fund of funds," you will indirectly bear
your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the Underlying
Funds in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Actual
underlying expenses are expected to vary with changes in the allocation of the
Fund's assets among various Underlying Funds.
Risk, Heading rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk, Narrative rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the
Defensive Growth Fund. The following additional risks, which are primarily risks
of the Underlying Funds, could affect the value of your investment:

o Management Risk - The Defensive Growth Fund is subject to management risk
  because it is an actively managed portfolio. The Adviser's management practices
  and investment strategies might not work to produce the desired results.

o ETF and Mutual Fund Risk - When the Defensive Growth Fund invests in an ETF or
  mutual fund, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of
  the ETF's or mutual fund's operating expenses, including the potential
  duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF or mutual fund
  generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF or
  mutual fund holds. The Fund also will incur brokerage costs when it purchases
  ETFs.

o Closed-End Fund Risk - The value of the shares of closed-end funds may be lower
  than the value of the portfolio securities held by the closed-end fund.
  Closed-end funds may trade infrequently, with small volume, which may make it
  difficult for the Fund to buy and sell shares. Also, the market price of
  closed-end funds tends to rise more in response to buying demand and fall more
  in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger capitalization
  companies.

o Equity Market Risk - Common and preferred stocks are susceptible to general
  stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in
  value. Preferred stocks are also subject to the risk that interest rates will
  rise resulting in a decrease in their value. The stock market may experience
  declines or stocks in an Underlying Fund's portfolio may not increase their
  earnings at the rate anticipated.

o Fixed Income Securities Risk - Interest rates may go up resulting in a decrease
  in the value of the fixed income securities held by the Underlying
  Funds. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will not make timely payments of
  principal and interest. There is also the risk that an issuer may "call," or
  repay, its high yielding bonds before their maturity dates. Fixed income
  securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a
  declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss
  in a rising interest rate environment. Limited trading opportunities for
  certain fixed income securities may make it more difficult to buy or sell a
  security at a favorable price or time.

o Default Risk - The risk that the Defensive Growth Fund could lose money if the
  issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security owned by an Underlying Fund, or
  the counterparty to a derivative contract, is unable or unwilling to meet its
  financial obligations.

o High Yield Securities Risk - Fixed income securities in an Underlying Fund that
  are rated below investment grade (i.e., "junk bonds") are subject to additional
  risk factors such as increased possibility of default liquidation of the
  security, and changes in value based on public perception of the issuer. High
  yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the
  issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments.

o Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk - To the extent the Defensive
  Growth Fund invests in Underlying Funds that invest in the securities of
  foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers, the Fund is exposed to
  certain risks that can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign
  currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in
  securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. These risks are
  greater in emerging markets.

 o Currency Risk - Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the
  value of what an Underlying Fund owns and the Underlying Fund's share price.
  Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, an
  investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer
  U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country's government or banking
  authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments
  denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated
  as securities markets.

o Short Sales Risk - Short sales involve specific risk considerations and may be
  considered a speculative technique. For example, under adverse market
  conditions, an Underlying Fund might have difficulty purchasing securities to
  meet its short sale delivery obligations, and might have to sell portfolio
  securities to raise the capital necessary to meet its short sale obligations at
  a time when fundamental investment considerations would not favor such sales.

o Commodities Risk - Investments by an Underlying Fund in companies involved in
  commodity-related businesses may be subject to greater volatility than
  investments in companies involved in more traditional businesses. This is
  because the value of companies in commodity-related businesses may be affected
  by overall market movements and other factors affecting the value of a
  particular industry or commodity, such as weather, disease, embargoes, or
  political and regulatory developments.

o Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk - Generally, rising
  interest rates tend to extend the duration of fixed rate mortgage-related
  securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a
  result, in a period of rising interest rates, if an Underlying Fund holds
  mortgage-related securities, it may exhibit additional volatility. This is
  known as extension risk. In addition, adjustable and fixed rate
  mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment risk. When interest rates
  decline, borrowers may pay off their mortgages sooner than expected. This can
  reduce the returns of the Underlying Fund because the Underlying Fund may have
  to reinvest that money at the lower prevailing interest rates. Asset-backed
  securities are subject to risks similar to those associated with
  mortgage-related securities.

o Derivatives Risk - An Underlying Fund's use of derivatives (which may include
  options, futures, swaps and credit default swaps) may reduce the Underlying
  Fund's returns and/or increase volatility. A risk of the Underlying Fund's use
  of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate
  perfectly with the overall securities markets. Additionally, derivatives are
  also subject to liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk
  and management risk.

o Newer Fund Risk - The Defensive Growth Fund is newer with limited operating
  history and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an
  economically viable size, in which case the Board may determine to liquidate
  the Fund.

o Small- and Medium-Sized Company Risk - The Defensive Growth Fund invests in
  Underlying Funds that invest in small- and medium-sized companies which often
  have less predictable earnings, more limited product lines, markets,
  distribution channels or financial resources and the management of such
  companies may be dependent upon one or a few key people. The market movements
  of equity securities of small- and medium-sized companies may be more abrupt
  and volatile than the market movements of equity securities of larger, more
  established companies or the stock market in general and small-sized companies
  in particular, are generally less liquid than the equity securities of larger
  companies.

o Asset Allocation Risk - The risk that the Defensive Growth Fund's allocation
  among Underlying Funds with various asset classes and investments will not
  produce the desired results.

o Leverage Risk - When an Underlying Fund uses derivatives for leverage,
  investments in that Underlying Fund will tend to be more volatile, resulting in
  larger gains or losses in response to market changes. Because many derivatives
  have a leverage component, adverse changes in the value or level of the
  underlying asset, reference rate or index can result in a loss substantially
  greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. Certain derivatives
  have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial
  investment.

o Concentration Risk - To the extent the Underlying Funds concentrate their
  investments in a particular industry or sector, such Underlying Fund's shares
  may be more volatile and fluctuate more than shares of a fund investing in a
  broader range of securities.

o Sector Risk - To the extent the Defensive Growth Fund invests in an Underlying
  Fund that invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of
  companies in the same sector of the market, the Fund is more susceptible to
  economic, political, regulatory and other occurrences influencing those
  sectors.

[1] Alpha Capital Funds Management, LLC (the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and pay Fund expenses to ensure that Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses ("AFFE"), interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.25% and 1.50% of average daily net assets for Class I and Class R, respectively (the "Expense Caps"). The Expense Caps will remain in effect through at least January 28, 2013, and may be terminated only by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). The Adviser may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses from the Fund for three years from the date they were waived or paid, subject to the Expense Caps.
