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 82% of the average value of its portfolio.

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 are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/14 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. 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 in a focused portfolio of equity securities of large capitalization companies. Large cap companies are companies with market capitalizations equal to those within the universe of the Russell 1000® Growth Index at the time of purchase. Typically, the Fund invests in common stocks of companies with a history of above-average growth or companies expected to enter periods of above-average growth. Although the Fund will invest primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies, it may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities, including depositary receipts.

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.

The Fund is non-diversified.

Investment Process: The Fund’s adviser will utilize a combination of qualitative analysis and quantitative metrics in order to seek to achieve target returns which are higher than the Fund’s benchmark while attempting to maintain a moderate risk profile. In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that combines research, valuation and stock selection to identify companies that have a history of above-average growth or which the adviser believes will achieve above-average growth in the future. The adviser looks for companies with leading competitive positions, predictable and durable business models and management that can achieve sustained growth.

The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. The adviser may sell a security due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or a change in the original reason for purchase of an investment, or if the adviser no longer considers the security to be reasonably valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
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.

Growth Investing Risk. Because growth investing attempts to identify companies that the adviser believes will experience rapid earnings growth relative to value or other types of stocks, growth stocks may also trade at higher multiples of current earnings, compared to value or other stocks, leading to inflated prices and thus potentially greater declines in value.

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.

Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign issuers are subject to additional risks including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, currency fluctuations, expropriation and nationalization risks, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Since the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased concentration in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to economic results among those issuing the securities.

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.

You could lose money investing in the Fund.

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 Select Class Shares has varied from year to year for the past five 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® Growth Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Growth 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. Subsequent to the inception of the Fund on 11/30/07 until 8/6/10, the Fund did not experience any shareholder purchase and sale activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.
