Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Summary of Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund, under normal circumstances, will primarily invest in common stocks and other equity or equity-related securities that the Adviser believes to have favorable prospects for capital appreciation and/or dividend-paying ability. There are no limits on the market capitalizations of the companies in which the Fund may invest.

The Adviser's stock selection process begins with a top-down analysis focusing on those macro-economic conditions that it believes will impact the United States economy. The Adviser applies this broad analysis to its stock selection process by screening over 5,000 companies based on numerous measurements of their value. From this universe, the Adviser looks to invest in companies that are trading at a discount to their peers based on price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book value and enterprise value (EV) to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), among other measurements. The Adviser also looks to invest in companies that it believes will generate above market dividend yields. Although the Fund may not “concentrate” (invest 25% or more of its net assets) in any industry or group of industries, the Fund may focus its investments from time to time in one or more sectors of the economy or stock market.

The Adviser also seeks to invest in companies that it believes are experiencing a full range of potentially positive changes, ranging from the implementation of a new management team or product launch, to a significant cost-cutting initiative, or a merger or acquisition, or a reduction in industry capacity that may lead to improved pricing. Additionally, the Adviser may seek to invest in companies whose earnings potential has increased or is expected to increase more than consensus estimates; companies that have enjoyed a perceived level of popularity only to have fallen temporarily out of favor for reasons that the Adviser considers non-recurring or short-term; and companies that the Adviser believes are undervalued in relation to their competitors in the same industry. The Adviser may sell a security if its prospects for capital appreciation or income decline or when the Adviser deems it to be an unattractive investment.

Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Summary of Principal Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to the principal risks summarized below. These risks could adversely affect the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”), yield and total return. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

• Limited History of Operations: The Fund is a recently formed mutual fund and has a limited history of operations. The Adviser also has a limited history operating a mutual fund, but its portfolio managers and employees are persons with experience in managing investment portfolios, including portfolios with similar types of investments to those in which the Fund invests.

• Market Risk: The risk that the market value of a security may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The prices of securities change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.

• Management Risk: As with any managed fund, the Adviser may not be successful in selecting the best-performing securities or investment techniques, and the Fund's performance may lag behind that of similar funds. The Adviser may also miss out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of the opportunity are tied up in less advantageous investments.

• Sector Risk: The Fund may focus its investments from time to time on one or more economic sectors. To the extent that it does so, developments affecting companies in that sector or sectors will likely have a magnified effect on the Fund's NAV and total returns and may subject the Fund to greater risk of loss. Accordingly, the Fund could be considerably more volatile than a broad-based market index or other mutual funds that are diversified across a greater number of securities and sectors.

• Value Investing Risk: A value-oriented investment approach is subject to the risk that a security believed to be undervalued does not appreciate in value as anticipated.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Summary of Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund, under normal circumstances, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in investment grade fixed income securities. This policy may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval upon 60 days' written notice to shareholders. The Fund will consider a security investment grade if it is rated Baa3 or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody's”) or BBB or better by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”). The Fund typically selects fixed income securities from several sectors including: U.S. Treasuries and agency securities and corporate bonds. Although the Fund invests primarily in investment grade fixed income securities, it may invest up to 20% of its total assets in high yield securities, or “junk bonds,” rated Ba1 or lower by Moody's or BB+ or lower by S&P and Fitch.

The Adviser expects that the Fund's duration will be between 3 and 6 years; however, the Fund's duration may be lengthened or shortened beyond this range depending on market conditions. The Fund's average portfolio duration is expected to vary within three years (plus or minus) of the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index (“Barclays Government/Credit Index”), which is the Fund's benchmark. On April 30, 2011 the duration of the Fund's benchmark was 3.9 years. Duration is a measure of the expected life of a debt security that is used to determine the sensitivity of the security's price to changes in interest rates. Generally, the longer a fund's duration, the more sensitive a fund will be to changes in interest rates. For example, the price of a fixed income fund with a duration of five years would be expected to fall approximately 5% if interest rates rose 1%.

The Fund uses a top-down investment process that begins with an assessment of the domestic and global economic environment. Incorporated in the process is an extensive review of current credit trends, the level of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, and the level of volatility. The Adviser's investment team then sets various parameters for the Fund which includes duration, yield curve exposure, sector weightings and credit quality. Using these parameters, the Adviser's investment team uses credit analysis in addition to utilizing various value metrics to formulate decisions to select particular sectors and securities. An example of a value metric would be the additional yield spread provided by a particular fixed income security in excess of that offered by U.S. Treasuries. Throughout this process, the Adviser's investment team focuses on selecting investments that it believes will provide current income and the opportunity for capital appreciation. The Adviser may sell a security if its prospects for income or capital appreciation decline or when the Adviser deems it to be an unattractive investment.

Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Summary of Principal Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to the principal risks summarized below. These risks could adversely affect the Fund’s NAV, yield and total return. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

• Credit Risk: The risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a contract, will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation.

• High Yield Securities Risk: High yield securities (also known as junk bonds) are generally considered more risky than investment grade, fixed income securities. The total return and yield of high yield bonds can be expected to fluctuate more than the total return and yield of higher quality bonds. High yield bonds are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. Successful investment in high yield bonds involves greater investment risk and is highly dependent on the Adviser’s credit analysis and market analysis.

• Interest Rate Risk: The risk of market losses attributable to changes in interest rates. With fixed rate securities, a rise in interest rates typically causes a fall in values. The yield earned by the Fund will vary with changes in interest rates.

• Limited History of Operations: The Fund is a recently formed mutual fund and has a limited history of operations. The Adviser also has a limited history operating a mutual fund, but its portfolio managers and employees are persons with experience in managing investment portfolios, including portfolios with similar types of investments to those in which the Fund invests.

• Market Risk: The risk that the market value of a security may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The prices of securities change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.

• Management Risk: As with any managed fund, the Adviser may not be successful in selecting the best-performing securities or investment techniques, and the Fund’s performance may lag behind that of similar funds. The Adviser may also miss out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of the opportunity are tied up in less advantageous investments.

• Prepayment Risk: The risk that a debt security may be paid off and proceeds invested earlier than anticipated. Depending on market conditions, the new investments may or may not carry the same interest rate.

• U.S. Government Agencies Securities Risk: Certain U.S. Government agency securities are backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury while others are supported only by the credit of the issuer or instrumentality. While the U.S. Government is able to provide financial support to U.S. Government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities, no assurance can be given that it will always do so. Such securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.

During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 31.77% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Summary of Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund normally invests in the common stocks of approximately 15 to 25 mid- and large-cap companies (market capitalizations greater than $1 billion) with, in the Adviser's opinion, a sustainable competitive advantage. The Adviser uses an intensive fundamental due diligence research process to attempt to identify companies whose management teams have, in the view of the Adviser, high integrity and generate a consistent and sustainable high return on capital. Additionally, the companies in which the Fund invests will, in the opinion of the Adviser, possess high margins, strong cash flow, zero to moderate debt and trade at a price below intrinsic value.

Consistent with preserving principal, the Adviser intends to select investments that, in its opinion, have low downside risk and high upside potential. The Adviser intends to purchase securities that trade at a discount to their calculated intrinsic value, thus providing a margin of safety to the investment.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that a significant portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in the securities of a single or small number of companies and/or in a more limited number of sectors than a diversified mutual fund. Although the Fund may not invest 25% or more of its net assets in one or more industries, the Fund may focus its investments from time to time in one or more sectors of the economy or stock market.

Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Summary of Principal Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to the principal risks summarized below. These risks could adversely affect the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”), yield and total return. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

• Management Risk: As with any managed fund, the Adviser may not be successful in selecting the best-performing securities or investment techniques, and the Fund's performance may lag behind that of similar funds. The Adviser may also miss out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of the opportunity are tied up in less advantageous investments.

• Market Risk: The risk that the market value of a security may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The prices of securities change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.

• Non-Diversification Risk: The risk that since the Fund is non-diversified and may invest a larger portion of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than a diversified fund, an investment in the Fund could fluctuate in value more than an investment in a diversified fund.

• Sector Risk: The Fund may focus its investments from time to time on one or more economic sectors. To the extent that it does so, developments affecting companies in that sector or sectors will likely have a magnified effect on the Fund's NAV and total returns and may subject the Fund to greater risk of loss. Accordingly, the Fund could be considerably more volatile than a broad-based market index or other mutual funds that are diversified across a greater number of securities and sectors.

• Value Investing Risk: A value-oriented investment approach is subject to the risk that a security believed to be undervalued does not appreciate in value as anticipated.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Summary of Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund, under normal circumstances, primarily invests in common stocks of companies listed on stock exchanges in North America. There are no limits on the market capitalizations of the companies in which the Fund may invest.

The Adviser applies a fundamental value, research driven investment approach. The Adviser seeks to identify businesses that it believes are significantly mispriced by the public market. The Adviser values companies using a variety of measures, including an estimate of a company's capacity to generate discretionary cash flow (cash flow from operations after required capital expenditures) over time and the long-term value of its assets. The Adviser seeks to identify companies that are out of favor, underappreciated or misunderstood, and thereby trade at a significant discount to the Adviser's estimation of long-term intrinsic value.

The Adviser looks for companies that it believes have entrenched market positions or sustainable competitive advantages; competent management whose interests are aligned with creating long-term shareholder value; corporate cultures that are consistent with good governance and appropriately responsive to shareholders — the company's ultimate owners; and the ability to compete effectively and succeed under various industry and broader economic scenarios. Consistent with its primary objective of achieving long-term capital appreciation, the Adviser generally expects to hold its investment in a company for a period of 3 to 5 years.

The Adviser continually re-evaluates companies in which it has invested and will scale back or exit a position as a company's market price approaches the Adviser's price target or when a change in a fundamental aspect of the company or its operating environment materially affects the Adviser's investment view. The Adviser will often continue to hold, or add to, positions with declining share prices so long as the factors driving the price decline do not result in a negative revision to the Adviser's overall investment assessment of the company.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that a significant portion of the Fund's assets may be invested in the securities of a single or small number of companies and/or in a more limited number of sectors than a diversified mutual fund. Although the Fund may not invest 25% or more of its net assets in a single industry, the Fund expects to focus its investments in one or more sectors of the economy or stock market as conditions warrant and opportunities present themselves.

Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Summary of Principal Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund is subject to the principal risks summarized below. These risks could adversely affect the Fund's net asset value (“NAV”), yield and total return. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

• Currency Translation Risk. A significant number of companies in which the Fund invests rely on markets outside the United States for a portion of their operating revenues. These revenues are frequently denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, these companies face a risk that revenues can be affected by changes in the exchange rate between the local currencies in which revenues are denominated and the U.S. dollar. A relative decline in the value of the U.S. dollar would have the effect of increasing the dollar amount of revenues generated in local currencies, while a relative strengthening of the U.S. dollar would have the opposite effect. While the Adviser evaluates potential currency translation affects along with other factors in making investment decisions, the Adviser does not take steps to hedge potential currency translation risks.

• Foreign Securities Risk: The risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities, including Canadian securities, may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to less liquid markets, and adverse economic, political, diplomatic, financial, and regulatory factors. Foreign governments also may impose limits on investment and repatriation and impose taxes. Any of these events could cause the value of the Fund's investments to decline.

• Management Risk: As with any managed fund, the Adviser may not be successful in selecting the best-performing securities or investment techniques, and the Fund's performance may lag behind that of similar funds. In particular, the Fund faces the risk of loss as a result of mis-estimation or other errors by the Adviser in its fundamental analysis regarding the companies in which the Fund invests. The Adviser may also miss out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of the opportunity are tied up in less advantageous investments.

• Market Risk: The risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may decline, at times sharply and unpredictably, because of economic changes or other events that affect individual issuers or large portions of the market. It includes the risk that a particular style of equity investing, such as growth or value, may underperform the market generally.

• Non-Diversification Risk: The risk that since the Fund is non-diversified and may invest a larger portion of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than a diversified fund, an investment in the Fund could fluctuate in value more than an investment in a diversified fund.

• Sector Risk: The Fund may focus its investments from time to time in a limited number of economic sectors. The Fund may not have exposure to all economic sectors. To the extent that it does so, developments affecting companies in that sector or sectors will likely have a magnified effect on the Fund's NAV and total returns and may subject the Fund to greater risk of loss. Accordingly, the Fund could be considerably more volatile than a broad-based market index or other mutual funds that are diversified across a greater number of securities and sectors.

• Value Investing Risk: A value-oriented investment approach is subject to the risk that a security believed to be undervalued does not appreciate in value as anticipated or experiences a decline in value.

[1] A contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares made within 18 months after purchase where no initial sales charge was paid at time of purchase as part of an investment of $1,000,000 or more.
[2] Within 90 days of purchase
[3] "Other expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.
[4] A CDSC of 1.00% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A Shares made within 18 months after purchase where no initial sales charge was paid at time of purchase as part of an investment of $1,000,000 or more.
[5] The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding any class-specific fees and expenses, interest, extraordinary items, "Acquired Fund fees and expenses" and brokerage commissions) do not exceed: (i) 0.70% (on an annual basis) of the average daily net assets of the Fund during the period beginning on the date of commencement of operations of the Fund and ending August 31, 2012, and (ii) 1.00% (on an annual basis) of the average daily net assets of the Fund during the period beginning on September 1, 2012 and ending August 31, 2014 (the "Expense Limitation"), unless the Board of Trustees approves its earlier termination. The Adviser is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, such amounts reduced or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the year in which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. No recoupment will occur unless the Fund's expenses are below the Expense Limitation.
[6] Average annual total returns for Class A shares of the Fund reflect the imposition of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.00%.
[7] Within 30 days of purchase
[8] "Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement" has been restated to reflect that, for the period September 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010, the Adviser agreed to waive or reduce its compensation received from the Fund by the lesser of (i) 0.25% of the average daily net assets (25 basis points), or (ii) an amount necessary to ensure that the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding any class-specific fees and expenses, interest, extraordinary items, "Acquired Fund fees and expense" and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 1.25% (on an annual basis) of the Fund's average daily net assets (125 basis points). For the period September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2013, Lateef Investment Management, L.P. ("Lateef" or the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding any class-specific fees and expenses, interest, extraordinary items, "Acquired Fund fees and expenses" and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 0.99% (on an annual basis) of the Fund's average daily net assets (the "Expense Limitation"). The Expense Limitation shall remain in effect until August 31, 2013, unless the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust (the "Trust") approves its earlier termination.
[9] After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown and are not relevant if you hold your shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns shown are for Class A shares; after-tax returns for Class C and Class I shares will vary. The "Class A Shares Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares" is higher than the "Class A Shares Return Before Taxes" and/or the "Class A Shares Return After Taxes on Distributions" because of realized losses that would have been sustained upon the sale of Fund shares immediately after the relevant periods. The calculation assumes that an investor holds the shares in a taxable account, is in the actual historical highest individual federal marginal income tax bracket for each year and would have been able to immediately utilize the full realized loss to reduce his or her federal tax liability. However, actual individual tax results may vary and investors should consult their tax advisers regarding their personal tax situations.
[10] The S&P 500 Index is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of 500 common stocks which are generally representative of the U.S. stock market as a whole.
[11] The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of 3,000 largest U.S. stocks, representing about 98% of the total capitalization of the entire U.S. stock market. The information shows how the Fund's performance compares with the returns of an index with similar investment objectives.
[12] A contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares made within 12 months after purchase where no initial sales charge was paid at time of purchase as part of an investment of $750,000 or more. The CDSC shall not apply to those purchases of Class A shares of $750,000 or more where a selling broker dealer did not receive a commission. A CDSC of 1.00% is assessed on redemptions of Class C shares made within 12 months after purchase.
[13] Private Capital Management, L.P. ("Private Capital" or the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding any class-specific fees and expenses, interest, extraordinary items, "Acquired Fund fees and expenses" and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 1.00% (on an annual basis) of the Fund's average daily net assets (the "Expense Limitation"). The Expense Limitation will remain in place until August 31, 2014, unless the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust (the "Trust") approves its earlier termination. The Adviser is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, such amounts reduced or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the year in which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. No recoupment will occur unless the Fund's expenses are below the Expense Limitation.
[14] Performance shown for the period from January 1, 1987 to May 28, 2010 is the performance of a corporate defined contribution plan account (the "Predecessor Account"), which transferred its assets to the Fund in connection with the Fund's commencement of operations on May 28, 2010 and does not reflect any taxes that you may pay as a result of any distributions or sale of shares of the Fund. The Class C shares and the Class R shares have not started operations yet. The Class C shares and the Class R shares would have had substantially similar annual returns because the shares are invested in the same portfolio. Annual returns would differ only to the extent that the Classes have different expenses.
