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 34.88% of the average value of its portfolio.

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 Caps 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 Under normal market conditions, the Advisor selects equity securities that it
believes are out of favor and undervalued. The Advisor then attempts to purchase
the securities and hold them until it believes that the securities have reached
their fair value.
  
The Advisor selects equity securities consisting of common stocks and
securities having the characteristics of common stocks, such as preferred
stocks, convertible securities, rights and warrants. The Fund may invest in
securities of foreign issuers ("foreign securities"), provided that they are
publicly traded in the United States, including in American Depositary Receipts
("ADRs"). The Advisor screens a universe of more than 6,000 stocks in order to
identify those with low price-to-earnings ratios, price-to-book values, and
price-to-revenues ratios relative to its historical norms, its industry peers or
the overall market.  The Advisor utilizes these and other fundamental valuation
metrics as well as its assessments of a company's long-term growth prospects and
risk characteristics, in order to establish a target price for each stock. The
target price represents the price at which the Advisor believes the stock is
fairly valued. Those stocks with significant appreciation potential relative to
these target prices and perceived risk characteristics become available for
selection. The Advisor employs a go-anywhere style focused on uncovering
undervalued stocks independent of market capitalization. The Fund's portfolio is
expected to hold both dividend and non-dividend paying stocks and seeks broad
market diversification via exposure to a significant number of major market
sectors and industry groups.

The Advisor may sell positions as they reach or approach their target price, if
a lower target price results from a reassessment of earnings or valuation
multiples, or if a more attractive stock is identified.

To earn additional income, the Fund, through its agent, may lend its portfolio
securities to broker-dealers amounting to no more than 33-1/3% of the total
assets of the Fund (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets
of the Fund (excluding any collateral posted). When the Fund loans its portfolio
securities, it will receive collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of
the loaned securities.
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 following additional risks could affect the value of your investment:

·  Management Risk - The Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective      
   depends on the ability of the Advisor to correctly identify economic trends   
   and select stocks, particularly in volatile stock markets.                    

·  Market Risk - The value of stocks and other securities the Fund holds or the  
   overall stock market may decline over short or extended periods.              

·  Small- and Medium-Sized Companies Risk - Small- and medium-sized companies may
   be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than stocks of      
   larger companies. These stocks present greater risks than securities of       
   larger, more diversified companies.                                           

·  Equity Risk - The equity securities held in the Fund's portfolio may          
   experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline
   in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets       
   generally or factors affecting specific industries, sectors or companies in   
   which the Fund invests.                                                       

·  Securities Lending Risk - There are certain risks associated with securities  
   lending, including the risk that when lending portfolio securities, the       
   securities may not be available to the Fund on a timely basis and the Fund    
   may, therefore, lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable    
   price.                                                                        

·  Value Style Investing Risk - The Advisor follows an investing style that      
   favors value investments. The value investing style may over time go in and   
   out of favor. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the    
   Fund may underperform other funds that use different investing styles.        

·  Foreign Securities Risk - The Fund may also invest in foreign securities which
   are subject to special risks. Foreign securities can be more volatile than    
   domestic (U.S.) securities. Securities markets of other countries are         
   generally smaller than U.S. securities markets. Many foreign securities may be
   less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities, which could affect the    
   Fund's investments.                                                           

If you are looking for current income or short-term market gain, you should not
invest in the Fund as it is designed for long-term investing.

[3] Al Frank Asset Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fees and pay Fund expenses of the Al Frank Fund to ensure that Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.49% of the average daily net assets of the Investor Class and 1.24% of the average daily net assets of the Advisor Class (the "Expense Caps"). The Expense Caps will remain in effect through at least April 30, 2013, and may be terminated only by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). The Advisor 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.
