Expense Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The Fund is offered exclusively as an investment option for certain Contracts. The table below reflects only Fund expenses and does not reflect Contract fees and expenses. If Contract fees and expenses were included, the fees and expenses in the following table would be higher. Please refer to the Contract prospectus for a description of those fees and expenses.

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. 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 81% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example [Heading] rr_ExpenseExampleHeading Example
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] 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. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and that you reinvest all dividends and distributions. It does not reflect any Contract fees. It reflects the management fee waiver agreement for the first year. If Contract fees were included, the costs shown would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading  Investments, Risks, and Performance   Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund will normally invest at least 50% of its total assets in stocks. The remaining assets are generally invested in corporate and government debt, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, and bank loans (which represent an interest in amounts owed by a borrower to a syndicate of lenders). The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities.

 

The Fund’s investments in stocks generally fall into one of two categories: the larger category comprises long-term core holdings whose prices when the Subadviser buys them are considered by the Subadviser to be low in terms of company assets, earnings, or other factors; the smaller category comprises opportunistic investments whose prices the Subadviser expects to rise in the short term but not necessarily over the long term. There are no limits on the market capitalization of the issuers of the stocks in which the Fund invests. Since the Subadviser attempts to prevent losses as well as achieve gains, the Subadviser typically uses a value approach in selecting investments. The Subadviser’s research team seeks to

 

identify companies that seem undervalued by various measures, such as price/book value, and may be temporarily out of favor but have good prospects for capital appreciation. The Subadviser may establish relatively large positions in companies the Subadviser finds particularly attractive.

 

The Subadviser searches for attractive risk/reward values among all types of securities. The portion of the Fund invested in a particular type of security, such as common stocks, results largely from case-by-case investment decisions, and the size of the Fund’s cash reserves may reflect the portfolio manager’s ability to find companies that meet valuation criteria rather than his market outlook.

 

The Fund may purchase bonds, convertible securities, mortgage and asset-backed securities, and bank loans for their income or other features or to gain additional exposure to a company. Maturity and quality are not necessarily major considerations and there are no limits on the maturities or credit ratings of the debt instruments in which the Fund invests. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its total assets in below investment-grade debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other debt instruments that are rated below investment grade. If a security is split-rated (i.e., rated investment-grade by at least one rating agency and noninvestment-grade by another rating agency), the higher rating will be used for purposes of this requirement.

Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] rr_BarChartAndPerformanceTableHeading Performance Information
Performance Narrative [Text Block] rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns for one year, five years, and ten years compare with those of a broad-based measure of market performance, the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s performance also is compared to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which shows how the Fund’s performance compares with the returns of a broad index of investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, and to the Moderate Composite Index, which shows how the Fund’s performance compares with a composite index composed of the S&P 500® Index (60%) and Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40%) in proportions similar to the equity to fixed income allocation of the Fund.

 

Both the bar chart and the table assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

 

The performance of the Fund will vary from year to year. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the cost of insurance and separate account charges which are imposed under your Contract. If they were included, performance would be reduced. Past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Market Risk – The market value of portfolio securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of a security or other asset may fluctuate significantly due to factors such as changes in general market conditions, including economic, political, and financial conditions, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, adverse investor sentiment, or instability or other disruptive events in the local, regional or global markets. Certain changes in the U.S. economy, such as a decrease in imports or exports, changes in trade regulations, inflation and/or economic recession, may have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s securities.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Issuer Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Issuer Risk – The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons directly related to the issuer of the security. Further, the value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Selection Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Selection Risk – Because this Fund is actively managed, there can be no guarantee that investment decisions made for the Fund will produce the desired results.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Value Stocks Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Value Stocks Risk – Value stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and following a value-oriented investment strategy may cause the fund to at times underperform equity funds that use other investment strategies. Value stocks can react differently to political, economic, and industry developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. If the market does not recognize that a selected security is undervalued, the prices of that security might not appreciate as anticipated. Value stocks also may underperform the market for long periods of time.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Capitalization Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Capitalization Risk – Investing in small- to mid-sized companies creates risk because smaller companies may have unpredictable or limited earnings, and their securities may be less liquid or experience more volatile prices than those of large companies.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Interest Rate Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Interest Rate Risk – Debt securities held by a fund may decline in value due to rising interest rates. Macroeconomic factors, such as inflationary trends, can heighten interest rate risk.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Extension Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Extension Risk – If interest rates rise, debt securities may be paid in full more slowly than anticipated. Periods of low relative interest rates or inflationary trends may increase the risks associated with rising interest rates.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Credit Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Credit Risk – The failure of the issuer of a debt security to pay interest or repay principal in a timely manner may have an adverse impact on a fund’s earnings.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Bank Loan Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Bank Loan Risk – To the extent a fund invests in bank loans, it is exposed to additional risks beyond those normally associated with more traditional debt securities. A fund’s ability to receive payments in connection with the loan depends primarily on the financial condition of the borrower, and whether or not a loan is secured by collateral, although there is no assurance that the collateral securing the loan will be sufficient to satisfy the loan obligation. In addition, bank loans often have contractual restrictions on resale, which can delay the sale and adversely impact the sale price. Transactions involving bank loans may have significantly longer settlement periods than more traditional investments (settlement can take longer than 7 days) and often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or highly leveraged, which increases the risk that the fund may not receive its proceeds in a timely manner or that the fund may incur losses in order to pay redemption proceeds to its shareholders. In addition, loans are not registered under the federal securities laws like stocks and bonds, so investors in loans have less protection against improper practices than investors in registered securities.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Derivatives Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Derivatives Risk – Investing in derivative instruments involves risks that may be different from or greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Security Quality Risk (also known as “High Yield Risk” or “Junk Bond Risk”) [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Security Quality Risk (also known as “High Yield Risk” or “Junk Bond Risk”) The Fund may invest in high yield, high risk debt securities, which may be subject to higher levels of credit and liquidity risk than higher quality debt securities.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Foreign Securities Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Foreign Securities Risk – Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves a number of risks, such as fluctuations in currency values, adverse political, social or economic developments, reduced liquidity, and differences in social and economic developments or policies.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Convertible Securities Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Convertible Securities Risk – The value of convertible securities may be affected by interest rates, default by the issuer on principal or interest payments, and the value of the underlying stock into which the securities may be converted.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Treasury Obligations Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Treasury Obligations Risk – Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of a fund. Because U.S. Treasury obligations trade actively outside the United States, their prices may rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities. In addition, changes in the credit rating or financial condition of the U.S. government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury Obligations to decline. Although a fund may hold securities that carry U.S. government guarantees, these guarantees do not extend to shares of the fund.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | U.S. Government Obligations Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

U.S. Government Obligations Risk – Certain securities in which a fund may invest, including securities issued by certain government agencies and government sponsored enterprises, are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. It is possible that issuers of U.S. government securities will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Liquidity Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Liquidity Risk – An investment that is difficult to purchase or sell may have an adverse effect on the fund’s returns. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the fund’s securities become illiquid, the fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk – Investing in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities involves a variety of risks associated with the credit markets, such as rising or falling interest rates, increases in the rate of defaults or prepayments, and the quality of the pool of mortgages (subprime risk) or other assets that back the security.
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund | Currency Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Currency Risk – Investing in securities that trade in and receive revenues in foreign currencies creates risk because foreign currencies may decline relative to the U.S. dollar, resulting in a potential loss to a fund. In the case of hedging positions, the U.S. dollar may decline in value relative to the currency that has been hedged.
