Objective [Heading] rr_ObjectiveHeading What is the goal of the Fund?
Objective, Primary [Text Block] rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth.
Expense [Heading] rr_ExpenseHeading Fees and Expenses of the Fund
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.
Operating Expenses Caption [Text] 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 [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 Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 68% of the average value of its portfolio.
Portfolio Turnover, Rate rr_PortfolioTurnoverRate 68.00%
Expenses Restated to Reflect Current [Text] rr_ExpensesRestatedToReflectCurrent As of September 1, 2013, the Fund’s advisory fee was reduced; therefore, the Management Fees and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses have been restated to reflect the current fees.
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 and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity investments of large and mid capitalization U.S. companies. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund generally defines large capitalization companies as those with a market capitalization over $10 billion at the time of purchase, and mid capitalization companies as those with market capitalization between $1 billion and $10 billion at the time of purchase.

In implementing its main strategies, the Fund invests primarily in a broad portfolio of common stocks of companies within the Russell 1000 Index that the adviser believes have characteristics such as attractive valuations, high quality and/or strong momentum that should lead to relative out performance . In identifying high quality securities, the adviser looks for profitable companies with sustainable earnings and disciplined management. In identifying securities that have strong momentum, the adviser looks for securities which have prices and/or earnings that have been increasing and that the adviser believes will continue to increase.

Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.

Investment Process: The Fund has an actively managed strategy that employs an investment process based on behavioral finance principles. Behavioral finance theorizes that investors behave irrationally in systematic and predictable ways because human psychology affects investment decision-making. This investor behavior results in market inefficiencies that persist over time. The Fund seeks to capitalize on these market anomalies through a disciplined and dispassionate investment process.

The Fund will sell a stock if the adviser determines that the issuer no longer meets the Fund’s investment criteria or if the adviser believes that more attractive opportunities are available.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this Prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.


Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Mid Cap Company Risk. Because the Fund may invest in large and mid capitalization companies, the Fund’s risks increase as it invests more heavily in mid capitalization companies. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier than investments in larger, more established companies. Mid cap companies may be more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.

Derivative Risk. Derivatives, including futures, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased capital gains, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] rr_BarChartAndPerformanceTableHeading The Fund’s Past Performance
Performance Narrative [Text Block] rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class R5 Shares has varied from year to year for the past nine calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. The table compares that performance to the Russell 1000® Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index, an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the other index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance for the Class R5 Shares is based on the performance of the Select Class Shares prior to the inception of the Class R5 Shares. The actual returns of Class R5 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 Shares have different expenses than Select Class Shares. The performance in the table for Class R2 Shares is based on the performance of Class A and Select Class Shares prior to the inception of the Class R2 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A and Select Class Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.
