Investment Objective, Heading rr_ObjectiveHeading Investment Objectives
investment Objective, Primary rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock The High Yield Fund's primary objective is to seek a high level of current
income.
Investment Objective, Secondary rr_ObjectiveSecondaryTextBlock The Fund's secondary objective is to seek capital growth when that is
consistent with its primary objective.
Expense, Heading rr_ExpenseHeading Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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 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 year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 33%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Portfolio Turnover, Rate rr_PortfolioTurnoverRate 33.00%
Other Expenses, New Fund, Based on Estimates rr_OtherExpensesNewFundBasedOnEstimates Other expenses are based on estimated customary Fund expenses for the current fiscal year.
Expenses, Not Correlated to Ratio Due to Acquired Fund Fees rr_ExpensesNotCorrelatedToRatioDueToAcquiredFundFees Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the "Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements" in the Financial Highlights of the statutory prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses ("AFFE").
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 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 Cap only in the first
year). 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 of the Fund
Investment Strategy, Narrative rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of
domestic and foreign high yield instruments, defined as bonds ("junk bonds"),
forward commitments, loan participations and assignments, and preferred
stocks. High yield instruments are securities rated below investment grade by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or equivalently rated by Standard
& Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or, if unrated,
determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

The remainder of the Fund's assets may be invested in investment grade
instruments including bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments
issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities, and
loan participations and assignments.

The average portfolio duration of the Fund normally varies within two years
(plus or minus) of the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate
High-Yield Index (the "Barclays Index") at any point in time. The Barclays Index
had a duration of 4.1 years as of January 31, 2012. Duration is a measure of
the expected life of a fixed income security that is used to determine the
sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates.

The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in securities denominated in
foreign currencies. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in
securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market
countries.

The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in derivative instruments, such
as options, futures contracts or swap agreements. From time to time, the Fund
may experience significant inflows; if this occurs, the Fund may invest up to
30% of its net assets in derivative instruments until such time as the Adviser
can identify and invest in appropriate high yield instruments in accordance with
the Fund's principal strategy. A derivative is a financial contract whose value
is based on (or "derived from") a traditional security (such as a bond) or a
market index. The Fund may invest in derivatives for both bona fide hedging
purposes and for speculative purposes. The Fund may purchase or sell securities
on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis. The Fund may,
without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it
primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by
using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls).

In selecting investments for the Fund, the Adviser will consider the risks and
opportunities presented by the industries within the high yield universe. The
Adviser evaluates the bond issuers within the selected industries and identifies
those investments which the Adviser believes have favorable risk reward
characteristics and match the Adviser's investing philosophy. The Adviser
evaluates various criteria such as historical and future expected financial
performance, management tenure and experience, capital structure, free cash flow
generation, barriers to entry, security protections, yield and relative value,
and ownership structure. Investments are targeted that have individual yield
premiums which appear to be favorable and are viewed by the Adviser as having a
comparable or lower probability of default and/or loss risk. The Adviser may
sell an investment as part of its overall investment decision to reposition
assets into a more attractive security or to implement a change in maturity and
quality to the overall portfolio.
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
Fund. The success of the Fund cannot be guaranteed. There are risks associated
with investments in the types of securities in which the Fund invests. These
risks include:

·  Risks Associated with High Yield Securities. High yield securities (or "junk  
   bonds") entail greater risk of loss of principal because of their greater     
   exposure to credit risk.                                                      

·  Counterparty Risk. Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to  
   the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its          
   obligation to the Fund. Counterparty risk may arise because of the            
   counterparty's financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy,
   or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether
   foreseen or not. A counterparty's inability to fulfill its obligation may     
   result in significant financial loss to the Fund.                             
  
·  Credit Risk. The issuers of the bonds and other instruments held by the Fund  
   may not be able to make interest or principal payments.                       

·  Market Risk. The prices of the securities in which the Fund invests may       
   decline for a number of reasons including responses to economic and political
   developments.                                                                 
  
·  Management Risk. The 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.                     
  
·  Interest Rate Risk. In general, the value of bonds and other instruments falls
   when interest rates rise. Longer term obligations are usually more sensitive  
   to interest rate changes than shorter term obligations.                       

·  Liquidity Risk. Low or lack of trading volume may make it difficult to sell   
   securities or derivative instruments held by the Fund at quoted market prices.
  
·  Derivatives Risk. Derivatives involve the risk of improper valuation, the risk
   of ambiguous documentation and the risk that changes in the value of the      
   derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying security.          
  
·  Leverage Risk. Leverage risk is the risk that losses from a derivative        
   instrument may be greater than the amount invested in the derivative          
   instrument. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited losses,      
   regardless of the size of the initial investment.                             
  
·  Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stocks may be more volatile than fixed income
   securities and are more correlated with the issuer's underlying common stock  
   than fixed income securities. Additionally, the dividend on a preferred stock
   may be changed or omitted by the issuer.                                      
  
·  Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. The value of the Fund's foreign
   investments may be adversely affected by changes in the foreign country's     
   exchange rates, political and social instability, changes in economic or      
   taxation policies, decreased illiquidity and increased volatility. Foreign    
   companies may be subject to less regulation than U.S. companies. Investment in
   emerging markets involves additional risks, including less social, political  
   and economic stability, smaller securities markets and lower trading volume,  
   restrictive national policies and less developed legal structures.            

·  Currency Risk. The Fund is subject to the risk that foreign currencies will   
   decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging      
   positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency
   being hedged.                                                                 

·  Loan Participation and Assignment Risk. Loan participations and assignments   
   involve special types of risk, including credit risk, interest rate risk,     
   liquidity risk, and the risks of being a lender. Bank loans (i.e., loan       
   participations and assignments), like other high yield corporate debt         
   obligations, have a higher risk of default and may be less liquid and/or      
   become illiquid.                                                              
  
·  Newer Fund Risk. The 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.

[1] All of the classes of the High Yield Fund's shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities. The annual returns of the different classes of shares will differ only to the extent the expenses of the classes differ. The actual performance of the Advisor Class would have been lower than the Investor Class performance due to its higher fees and expenses.
[2] Other expenses are based on estimated customary Fund expenses for the current fiscal year.
[3] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the "Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements" in the Financial Highlights of the statutory prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses ("AFFE").
[4] Pacific Income Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fees and pay Fund expenses to ensure that Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.23% of the Fund's average daily net assets the ("Expense Cap"). The Expense Cap will remain in effect through at least March 30, 2013, and may be terminated only by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board" or the "Trustees"). 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 Cap.
