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. The Fund is offered only as an investment option for certain Contracts. The table below reflects only Fund expenses and does not reflect Contract fees and expenses. Please refer to your Contract prospectus for a description of those fees and expenses.
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. 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 19% of the average value of its portfolio.
Portfolio Turnover, Rate rr_PortfolioTurnoverRate 19.00%
Expenses Not Correlated to Ratio Due to Acquired Fund Fees [Text] rr_ExpensesNotCorrelatedToRatioDueToAcquiredFundFees Because Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not included in the Fund’s Financial Highlights, the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses do not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights table.
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. 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 is a fund of funds that invests primarily in the shares of other mutual funds managed by affiliates of the Manager that represent different asset classes in the Fund’s asset allocation. The Fund also may invest in unaffiliated mutual funds and in other securities, including affiliated and unaffiliated unregistered investment pools. The affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds and investment pools are referred to as the Fusion Permitted Underlying Investments. The Fund may also invest directly in equity and debt securities.

Under normal market conditions, the Manager will allocate approximately 55% – 75% of the Fund’s assets to equity funds and approximately 25% – 45% of the Fund’s assets to fixed income funds. These allocations do not include assets that may be invested in affiliated or unaffiliated unregistered investment pools.

The Fund is designed to provide diversification across several major asset classes, and the Fund is not restricted in its investments in any particular asset class. The Fund’s portfolio management team monitors the Fund’s holdings and cash flow and periodically adjusts the Fund’s asset allocation. The Manager utilizes a strategic asset allocation model to help determine appropriate asset allocations for the Fund among the Fusion Permitted Underlying Investments.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock The price per share of the Fund will fluctuate with changes in value of the investments held by the Fund. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective.

As a fund of funds, the Fund is subject to allocation risk, which is the risk associated with the Manager’s decision regarding how the Fund’s assets should be allocated among the various underlying investment options. The Manager’s decisions about the allocation of the Fund’s assets could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There also can be no guarantee that investment decisions made by the Manager will produce the desired results.

The Fund invests in a variety of Fusion Permitted Underlying Investments and is therefore also subject to the risks associated with those investments. With a target allocation of approximately 55%-75% of its assets in equity strategies, the Fund is proportionately subject to market risk, which is the risk that the market value of portfolio securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

With a target allocation of approximately 25%-45% of its assets in fixed income strategies, the Fund is proportionately subject to bond risks, including: interest rate risk, which is the risk that the debt securities held by the underlying fund may decline in value due to rising interest rates; credit risk, which is the chance that 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 the underlying fund’s earnings; income risk, which is the chance that falling interest rates may cause the underlying fund’s income to decline; call risk or prepayment risk, which is the risk that if interest rates fall, issuers of callable debt securities are more likely to prepay prior to the maturity date, and the underlying fund may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from the prepayment in investments that will generate the same level of income; and extension risk, which is the risk that, if interest rates rise, debt securities may be paid in full more slowly than anticipated.

The Fund is also subject to issuer risk, which is the risk that the value of a security may decline for a number of reasons directly related to the issuer of the security.

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 since its inception compare with those of a broad measure of market performance, the S&P 500® Index. The Fund’s performance also is compared to the Barclays Capital 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 a Moderate Composite Index, which shows how the Fund’s performance compares with a composite index composed of the S&P 500® Index (65%) and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (35%) 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.
