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 36% of the average value of its portfolio.

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, debt and derivative securities. The Fund is designed to provide a diversified portfolio consisting of funds in equity and fixed income asset classes, combined with the MVP (Managed Volatility Portfolio) risk management process intended to adjust the risk of the portfolio based on quantitative indicators of market risk, such as the current level of fund, underlying fund and market volatility. Under normal market conditions, the Manager will allocate approximately 80% - 100% of the Fund’s assets to underlying funds. Of this underlying fund allocation, approximately 25% - 45% will be allocated to equity funds and approximately 55% - 75% will be allocated to fixed income funds. 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 Manager 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. Up to 20% of the Fund’s assets may be allocated to the Fund’s MVP risk management process, which is intended to manage the risk of the Fund and its allocation to equities and to other, relatively more volatile asset classes, such as high yield bonds. This process could cause the equity exposure of the Fund to fluctuate but equity exposure generally will not be lower than 10%. Generally, the MVP risk management process would not reduce equity exposure during periods of moderate and low market volatility. The Manager will implement the Fund’s MVP risk management process primarily using futures, but may also use other derivative securities, such as options. The Fund normally will gain exposure to derivatives by investing directly in derivatives; the Fund may also gain exposure to derivatives indirectly through Fusion Permitted Underlying Investments. Derivative securities provide the Manager an effective method to reduce volatility of the Fund and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to underlying funds. The process is intended to limit market exposure during periods of high volatility, although the process may not always be successful. In some market conditions exhibiting high volatility, the process may result in the Fund underperforming the market during rising markets, and outperforming the market during declining markets. The Manager seeks to maintain an annualized volatility level for the Fund at or below 8% over a typical business cycle (i.e., over a period of a year or more). The actual or realized volatility for short-term or long-term periods of time will be dependent on the market environment and may be significantly higher in the event that the strategy is unsuccessful. The Fund’s allocation to the MVP risk management process may include (a) derivatives such as index futures, other futures contracts, options, and other similar securities and (b) cash, money market equivalents, short-term debt instruments, money market funds, and short-term debt funds to satisfy all applicable margin requirements and to provide additional portfolio liquidity to satisfy large redemptions and any margin calls. The 20% limit on assets allocated to the MVP risk management process relates to the collateral supporting the derivatives positions within the MVP risk management process. Due to the leverage provided by derivatives, the notional value of the Fund’s derivative positions could exceed 20% of the Fund’s value. The Fund may also use futures to gain equity exposure and may hold cash as a buffer in the event of market shocks.
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 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. With a target allocation of approximately 25%-45% 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. 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. Because the Fund may utilize derivative securities pursuant to its MVP risk management process, the Fund is proportionately subject to derivatives risk, including risks related to futures and options. 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. The value of options and futures contracts depend primarily upon the price of the securities, indexes, commodities, currencies or other instruments underlying them. Price movements are also influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary, and exchange control programs and policies of governments, and national and international political and economic events and policies. The cost of options is related, in part, to the degree of volatility of the underlying indices, securities, currencies, or other assets. Accordingly, options on highly volatile indices, securities, currency, or other assets may be more expensive than options on other investments. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested.

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 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 Conservative Composite Index, which shows how the Fund’s performance compares with a composite index composed of the S&P 500® Index (35%) and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (65%) 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. Prior to April 29, 2013, the Fund was named AZL Fusion Conservative Fund and did not incorporate the MVP risk management process.
