The following table describes the expenses and fees that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.

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 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 17.14% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock

The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Investor Shares and Class C Shares of 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% annual return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same each year. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading The Principal Investment Strategy of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in common stocks of domestic companies and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of foreign companies of any size without regard to market capitalization that the Sub-Adviser believes possess a strong competitive position in their peer group and have undervalued assets or growth potential that is not yet reflected in stock price. The Fund may also invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs). The Fund will normally hold a core position of between 15 and 30 common stocks.

 

The Sub-Adviser's investment selection process generally begins with data from the Value Line Index (an equal-weighted stock index containing approximately 1,700 companies). As part of its investment selection process, the Sub-Adviser may evaluate companies using a value-oriented analysis which examines, among other things, cash flow, price-to-earnings ratios and price-to-book ratios.

 

The Sub-Adviser may also examine a company's financial statements and visit with various levels of a company's management as well as customers and (as relevant) competition. The Sub-Adviser may sell or reduce the Fund's position in a security if it believes there is a significant change in long- term financial prospects.

 

The Fund is a "non-diversified" fund, which means it can invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. From time to time the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in a limited number of industry sectors, but will not concentrate in any particular industry. Also, the Fund may hold for extended periods of time all or a portion of its assets in cash or cash-equivalents like money market funds, certificates of deposit, short-term debt obligations, and repurchase agreements, either due to pending investments or when investment opportunities are limited.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading The Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Risks in General. Domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events are among the factors affecting the securities markets of the Fund's investments. There is risk that these and other factors may adversely affect the Fund's performance. The loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund.

 

Additionally, unexpected local, regional or global events, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues (such as COVID-19); and recessions and depressions could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and may impair market liquidity. Such events can cause investor fear, which can adversely affect the economies of nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen.

 

Risks of Investing in Common Stocks. Overall stock market risks may affect the value of the Fund. When the value of the Fund's investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.

 

Risks of Small and Medium Capitalization Companies. The Fund invests in the stocks of small and medium capitalization companies, which may subject the Fund to additional risks. The earnings and prospects of these companies are more volatile than larger companies. Small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines and markets, and may experience higher failure rates than do larger companies.

 

Foreign Risk. To the extent the Fund purchases ADRs, which will give the Fund exposure to foreign companies, the Fund may be subject to risks not usually associated with owning securities of U.S. issuers, including adverse political, social and economic developments and differing auditing and legal standards.

 

Risks of Exchange Traded Funds. Investment in an exchange traded fund carries specific risk and market risk. Also, if the area of the market representing the underlying index or benchmark does not perform as expected for any reason, the value of the investment in the ETF may decline.

 

Risk of Non-Diversification. The Fund is a non-diversified fund, which means that it has the ability to take larger positions in a smaller number of securities than a fund that is "diversified." Non-diversification increases the risk that the value of the Fund could go down because of the poor performance of a single investment.

 

Sector Risk. Sector risk is the possibility that all stocks within the same group of industries will decline in price due to sector-specific market or economic developments. The Fund may be over- weight in certain sectors at various times.

 

Management Risks. The Fund's strategy may fail to produce the intended results.
Risk Lose Money [Text] rr_RiskLoseMoney The loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund.
Risk Nondiversified Status [Text] rr_RiskNondiversifiedStatus The Fund is a non-diversified fund, which means that it has the ability to take larger positions in a smaller number of securities than a fund that is "diversified." Non-diversification increases the risk that the value of the Fund could go down because of the poor performance of a single investment.
Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] rr_BarChartAndPerformanceTableHeading Performance History
Performance Narrative [Text Block] rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

The bar chart shows performance of the Fund's Investor Class Shares for each of the last 10 calendar years. The returns for Class C Share will differ from those of Investor Class Shares because the expenses of the classes differ. The performance table compares the performance of the Fund's Investor Class Shares and Class C Shares over time to the performance of a broad-based securities market index. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1 year, 5 years and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund's website at www.castleim.com/castle-focus-fund or by calling 1-877-743-7820.
