Portfolio Turnover:
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] 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 fiscal period ended November 30, 2014, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 280% of the average value of the portfolio.

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
Expense Example by, Year, Caption [Text] rr_ExpenseExampleByYearCaption

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares or continue to hold 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:
Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund:
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund’s investment adviser, Horizon Investments, LLC (“Horizon”), seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by allocating assets across various sectors of the global securities markets. Horizon executes this strategy by investing in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) listed on U.S. exchanges and other income producing securities, which Horizon defines as including any of the following: equity securities that are expected to pay a dividend; fixed-income securities; cash equivalents; sovereign debt (including U.S. treasuries); fixed and floating rate securities of publicly traded companies; convertible bonds; preferred stock; master limited partnerships (“MLPs”); mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”); real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), or other securities that Horizon believes are likely to generate income for the Fund. The Fund will invest in fixed income ETFs and other income oriented ETFs. Horizon defines “income oriented ETFs” as those that invest in (1) equity securities, (2) fixed-income securities, or (3) cash equivalents. In addition, the Fund may also invest in sovereign debt (including U.S. treasuries), fixed and floating rate securities of publicly traded companies, convertible bonds, preferred stocks, master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The Fund will invest primarily in U.S. Dollar denominated securities, but may also invest a portion of its assets in non-U.S. Dollar denominated securities. Horizon will not adhere to any specific allocation of the Fund’s assets as between ETFs and other income producing securities, and other investments in the Fund’s portfolio. Horizon selects portfolio investments without restriction as to the issuer country, capitalization, currency, maturity or credit quality.

 

Horizon selects asset classes using a tactical approach that allocates the Fund’s portfolio between asset classes that Horizon believes will generate the greatest amount of income, relative to a given amount of risk. Tactical investing strategies seek to maximize returns by adjusting portfolio asset allocations among various asset classes based upon near-term forecasts. Horizon assesses expected income, relative to risk, using a multi-disciplined approach consisting of economic, quantitative and fundamental analysis. A representative security is selected for inclusion in the portfolio after it is reviewed for sufficient trading liquidity and fit within overall portfolio diversification needs. Depending on market conditions, the Fund may have a high turnover rate.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading

Principal Risks of the Fund:
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Many factors affect the Fund's performance. The Fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions in response to economic, political and financial developments. The direction and extent of those price changes will be affected by the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of the securities held by ETFs in which the Fund invests. The Fund is not federally insured or guaranteed by any government agency. YOU MAY LOSE MONEY BY INVESTING IN THE FUND.

 

Credit Risk: Issuers of fixed-income securities may default on interest and principal payments due to a Fund. Generally, securities with lower debt ratings have speculative characteristics and have greater risk the issuer will default on its obligation. Fixed-income securities rated in the fourth classification by Moody’s (Baa) and S&P (BBB) (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”) have speculative characteristics and changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of those issuers to make principal or interest payments, as compared to issuers of more highly rated securities. These securities can also be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price.

 

ETF Risk: You will indirectly pay fees and expenses charged by the ETFs in addition to the Fund's direct fees and expenses. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in ETF shares and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each ETF is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the fund. These risks could include sector risk (increased risk from a focus on one or more sectors of the market), as well as risks associated with fixed income securities, foreign currencies and commodities.

 

Fixed Income Risk: When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, derivatives on fixed income securities or ETFs that invest in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of the fixed income securities owned by the Fund. Issuers of floating rate debt are exposed to higher interest payments in a rising rate environment. Issuers may default on interest and principal payments. Generally, securities with lower debt ratings ("junk bonds") have greater credit risk.

 

Foreign Currency Risk: Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates in the currencies the Fund is long or short. Credit risk results because a currency-trade counterparty may default. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

 

Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities may be riskier than U.S. investments because of factors such as unstable international political and economic conditions, currency fluctuations, foreign controls on investment and currency exchange, withholding taxes, a lack of adequate company information, less liquid and more volatile markets, and a lack of governmental regulation. Foreign companies generally are not subject to accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. Transaction costs and costs associated with custody services are generally higher for foreign securities than they are for U.S. securities. Sovereign issuers may lack sufficient revenue to repay debts or may repudiate debts despite an ability to repay.

 

Emerging Markets Risk: In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in securities of foreign companies, countries with emerging markets also may have relatively unstable governments, social and legal systems that do not protect shareholders, economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of issues.

 

Issuer Specific Risk: The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

 

Management Risk: The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the allocation of the Fund's assets. Horizon may allocate the Fund's investments so as to under-emphasize or over-emphasize investments under the wrong market conditions, in which case the Fund's value may be adversely affected.

 

Market Risk: Investments in securities in general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. The Fund's investments may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally, or particular countries, segments, economic sectors, industries or companies within those markets. The value of a security may decline due to general economic and market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular issuer.

 

MBS Risk: MBS are subject to credit risk because underlying loan borrowers may default. Additionally, these securities are subject to prepayment risk because the underlying loans held by the issuers may be paid off prior to maturity at faster or slower rates than expected.

 

MLP Risk: Investments in MLPs involve risks different from those of investing in common stock including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP's general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partner's limited call right. MLPs, typically, do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level. Instead, each partner is allocated a share of the partnership's income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or in the underlying business mix of a given MLP could result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would result in such MLP being required to pay U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income.

 

MLP Tax Risk: MLPs, typically, do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level. Instead, each partner is allocated a share of the partnership's income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or in the underlying business mix of a given MLP could result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would result in such MLP being required to pay U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. The classification of an MLP as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP. Thus, if any of the MLPs owned by the Fund were treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it could result in a reduction of the value of your investment in the Fund and lower income, as compared to an MLP that is not taxed as a corporation.

 

Real Estate Risk: Real estate values rise and fall in response to a variety of factors, including local, regional and national economic conditions, interest rates and tax considerations. REIT performance depends on the types and locations of the rental properties it owns and on how well it manages those properties.

 

Sovereign Debt Risk. Sovereign government debt issuers, including the United States, may be unable or unwilling to make interest and principal payments because of factors such as tax revenue shortfalls or the inability to refinance maturing debt in local or global capital markets.

 

Turnover Risk: Higher portfolio turnover will result in higher transactional and brokerage costs.

The Barclays Aggregate Bond Index is a market capitalization-weighted index, meaning the securities in the index are weighted according to the market size of each bond type. Most U.S. traded investment grade bonds are represented. Municipal bonds and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities are excluded, due to tax treatment issues. The index includes Treasury securities, Government agency bonds, mortgage-backed bonds, corporate bonds, and a small amount of foreign bonds traded in U.S. Unlike a mutual fund, an index does not reflect any deductions for fees, expenses or taxes. Investors cannot directly invest in an index.

 

Returns would have been lower if Horizon had not waived and/or reimbursed certain expenses of the Fund during the periods shown.

[1] Based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year
[2] This number represents the combined total fees and operating expenses of the underlying funds owned by the Fund and is not a direct expense incurred by the Fund or deducted from Fund assets. Since this number does not represent a direct operating expense of the Fund, the operating expenses set forth in the Fund's financial highlights do not include this figure.
[3] The fees shown above take into account an advisory fee waiver agreement to limit total operating expenses at least through March 31, 2017, so that Class I Share and Class N Share direct expenses (not including any front-end or contingent deferred loads, brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, borrowing costs (such as dividend expense on securities sold short), taxes and extraordinary expenses such as litigation) do not exceed 0.99%, 1.24% and 1.24% of average daily net assets of the Fund's Class I, Class N and Class A shares, respectively. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years on a rolling three-year basis (within the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed) if such recoupment can be achieved within the foregoing expense limit. Only the Fund's Board of Trustees may elect to terminate the advisory fee waiver agreement.

[5] After-tax returns are based on the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes; actual after-tax returns depend on an individual investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. If you own shares of the Fund in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan, this information is not applicable to your investment. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and translates into an assumed tax deduction that benefits the shareholder. The performance of Class A shares would have been lower for the periods shown due to sales load charges.
