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 most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 2% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in High Yield Bond Core Fund (the “Underlying Fund”), a portfolio of Federated Hermes Core Trust. The investment objective of the Underlying Fund is to seek high current income. The Underlying Fund in turn invests in a diversified portfolio of domestic corporate high-yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), but may invest a portion of its portfolio in securities of issuers based outside the United States. High yield bonds are rated below investment grade (i.e., BB or lower) by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO). The Fund may invest in such securities directly. The Fund may also invest in securities of any maturity. There will not be a minimal acceptable rating for a security to be purchased or held by the Fund or the Underlying Fund and each may purchase or hold unrated securities and securities whose issuers are in default.When selecting investments for the Fund, the Fund can invest in securities directly or in other investment companies, including, for example, the Underlying Fund and other funds advised by Federated Investment Management Company (the “Adviser” or the “Underlying Fund’s Adviser”) or its affiliates. The Fund’s investment in the Underlying Fund is generally expected to be a substantial portion of the Fund’s portfolio. At times the Adviser may focus investments of the Fund and/or the Underlying Fund in a particular sector or sectors of the economy.The Underlying Fund’s Adviser attempts to select bonds for investment by the Underlying Fund which offer high potential returns for the default risks being assumed. The Underlying Fund’s Adviser’s securities selection process consists of a credit-intensive, fundamental analysis of the issuing firm. The Underlying Fund’s Adviser’s analysis focuses on the financial condition of the issuing firm, together with the issuer’s business and product strength, competitive position and management expertise. Further, the Underlying Fund’s Adviser considers current economic, financial market and industry factors, which may affect the issuer.The Underlying Fund’s Adviser attempts to minimize the Underlying Fund’s portfolio credit risk through diversification. The Underlying Fund’s Adviser selects securities to maintain broad portfolio diversification both by company and industry. The Underlying Fund’s Adviser does not target an average maturity of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio.The Underlying Fund may use derivative contracts and/or hybrid instruments to implement elements of itsinvestment strategy.The Adviser employs the same management, security selection and derivative strategies when the Fund invests directly in the securities in which the Underlying Fund invests.The Fund is a non-diversified portfolio of Federated Hermes Managed Pool Series.The Fund will invest its assets so that at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) are invested in investments rated below investment grade (i.e., BB or lower by an NRSRO). The Fund will notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any change in its investment policy that would enable the Fund to invest, under normal circumstances, less than 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments rated below investment grade (i.e., BB or lower by an NRSRO).
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading <span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:8.5pt;font-weight:bold;">What are the Main Risks of Investing in the Fund?</span>
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Shareholders of the Fund will be exposed to the same risks as the Underlying Fund, which broadly consist of the risks of investing in domestic, corporate, high-yield bonds, as well as derivative contracts. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s and the Underlying Fund’s returns include:■ Risk Associated with Noninvestment-Grade Securities. Securities rated below investment grade may be subject to greater interest rate, credit and liquidity risks than investment-grade securities. These securities are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and repay principal.■ Issuer Credit Risk. It is possible that interest or principal on securities will not be paid when due. Noninvestment-grade securities generally have a higher default risk than investment-grade securities. Such non-payment or default may reduce the value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, its share price and its performance.■ Counterparty Credit Risk. Credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction involving the Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause the Fund to lose money or to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent the Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategy.■ Risk Related to the Economy. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decline in tandem with a drop in the overall value of the markets in which the Fund invests and/or other markets. Economic, political and financial conditions, industry or economic trends and developments or public health risks, such as epidemics or pandemics, may, from time to time, and for varying periods of time, cause the Fund to experience volatility, illiquidity, shareholder redemptions, or other potentially adverse effects. Among other investments, lower-grade bonds and loans may be particularly sensitive to changes in the economy.■ Liquidity Risk. The noninvestment-grade securities in which the Fund may invest may not be readily marketable and may be subject to greater fluctuations in price than other securities. Also, market growth at rates greater than dealers’ capacity to make markets, as well as regulatory changes or certain other developments, can reduce dealer inventories of securities (such as corporate bonds), which can further constrain liquidity and increase price volatility. Additionally, there is a possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell a security or close out a derivative contract when it wants to. If this happens, the Fund will be required to continue to hold the security or keep the position open, and the Fund could incur losses. High levels of shareholder redemptions in response to market conditions also may increase liquidity risk and may negatively impact Fund performance.■ Call Risk. There is a possibility that an issuer of fixed-income securities in which the Fund may invest may redeem a security before maturity (a “call”) at a price below its current market price. An increase in the likelihood of a call may reduce the security’s price.■ Sector Risk. A substantial part of the Fund’s portfolio may be comprised of securities issued or credit enhanced by companies in similar businesses, or with other similar characteristics. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect these entities.■ Interest Rate Risk. Prices of fixed-income securities generally fall when interest rates rise. The longer the duration of a fixed-income security, the more susceptible it is to interest-rate risk. Recent and potential future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments are likely to affect the level of interest rates.■ Risk of Foreign Investing. Because the Fund invests in securities issued by foreign companies and national governments, the Fund’s Share price may be more affected by foreign economic and political conditions, taxation policies and accounting and auditing standards than would otherwise be the case.■ Risk of Investing in Derivative Contracts and Hybrid Instruments. Derivative contracts and hybrid instruments involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Specific risk issues related to the use of such contracts and instruments include valuation and tax issues, increased potential for losses and/or costs to the Fund, and a potential reduction in gains to the Fund. Each of these issues is described in greater detail in this Prospectus. Derivative contracts and hybrid instruments may also involve other risks described in this Prospectus, such as interest rate, credit, liquidity and leverage risks.■ Leverage Risk. Leverage risk is created when an investment, which includes, for example, an investment in a derivative contract, exposes the Fund to a level of risk that exceeds the amount invested. Changes in the value of such an investment magnify the Fund’s risk of loss and potential for gain.■ Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs. Custodial services and other costs relating to investment in international securities markets generally are more expensive than in the United States. Such markets have settlement and clearance procedures that differ from those in the United States. The inability of the Fund to make intended securities purchases due to settlement problems could cause the Fund to miss attractive investment opportunities.■ Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is non-diversified. Compared to diversified mutual funds, it may invest a higher percentage of its assets among fewer issuers of portfolio securities. In certain situations, being non-diversified may reduce the Fund’s credit risk by enabling it to avoid investing in certain countries, regions or sectors that exhibit above average credit risk. However, being non-diversified may also increase the Fund’s risk by magnifying the impact (positively or negatively) that any one issuer has on the Fund’s Share price and performance.■ Share Ownership Concentration Risk. A majority of the Underlying Fund’s shares may be held by other mutual funds advised by the Adviser and its affiliates. It also is possible that some or all of these other mutual funds will decide to purchase or redeem shares of the Underlying Fund simultaneously or within a short period of time of one another in order to execute their asset allocation strategies which could have adverse consequences for the Underlying Fund and other shareholders.■ Technology Risk. The Adviser uses various technologies in managing the Fund, consistent with its investment objective and strategy described in this Prospectus. For example, proprietary and third-party data and systems are utilized to support decision making for the Fund. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems, which may negatively affect Fund performance.■ Underlying Fund Risk. The risk that the Fund’s performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by underlying funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of underlying funds to achieve their respective investment objectives. The Fund bears Underlying Fund fees and expenses indirectly.The Shares offered by this Prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

[1] The Adviser will not charge a fee for its advisory services to the Fund. The Adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse all expenses of the Fund, excluding extraordinary expenses. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not direct obligations of the Fund and are not contractual reimbursements under the investment advisory contract. Shareholders must approve any change to the contractual reimbursements. Investors should carefully consider the separate fees charged in connection with investment in the Fund.
[2] The Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index is an issuer-constrained version of the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index that measures the market of USD-denominated, noninvestment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bonds. The index follows the same rules as the uncapped index, but limits the exposure of each issuer to 2% of the total market value and redistributes any excess market value index-wide on a pro rata basis. Effective August 24, 2021, the name of the index changed from “Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index” to “Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index.”
