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 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 51.32% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense 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 each of the Fund's Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading

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

The Fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of income-producing (dividend-paying) equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies. The Fund invests principally in common stocks, but its equity investments may also include real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), and other investment companies (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs")). The Fund's equity investments may also include indirect exposure to foreign securities through American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and master limited partnerships ("MLPs"), although MLP investments will at no time exceed 20% of the Fund's net assets (measured at the time of purchase).

 

The Adviser combines quantitative and fundamental analysis with risk management in identifying investment opportunities and constructing the Fund's portfolio. The Fund may invest in equity securities issued by companies of different capitalization ranges, but will typically focus on larger companies. In selecting securities, the Adviser first uses proprietary quantitative models to identify and rank stocks based on several characteristics, including quality (of financial condition and creation of shareholder value), relative value (based on fundamental metrics and analyst estimates) and income-generation potential (measured in terms of dividend, earnings, yield and payout ratio). The Adviser then determines the most attractive of the higher ranked securities based on their current and future prospects for income generation as well as long-term price appreciation. The Advisor considers a number of factors in this process, including history of dividend payment and growth, current dividend policy, and relevant corporate events.

 

Finally, in constructing the Fund's portfolio, the Adviser manages risk by diversifying across holdings and S&P economic sectors ("Sectors"), seeking to limit the potential adverse impact from any one stock or Sector. The Fund will generally hold equal-weighted positions and be diversified across Sectors and generally no more than 20% of the Fund's net assets will be exposed to any one Sector. The Fund will only exceed this 20% Sector exposure limit by virtue of investments in MLPs and other investment companies that may be more heavily concentrated in a particular Sector. 

  

The Adviser monitors the Fund's holdings and may consider selling a security when valuation becomes excessive, there is deterioration in the issuer's relative attractiveness, financial position or fundamental prospects, or the Adviser believes there are more attractive investment opportunities elsewhere.

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.

 

•  Common Stock Risk: Because the Fund normally invests a substantial portion of its assets in common stocks, the value of the Fund’s portfolio will be affected by changes in stock markets. Common stock represents an equity (ownership) interest in a company or other entity. At times, the stock markets can be volatile, and stock prices can change drastically. This market risk will affect the Fund’s net asset value, which will fluctuate as the values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and other assets change. Not all stock prices change uniformly or at the same time, and not all stock markets move in the same direction at the same time. In addition, other factors can adversely affect a particular stock’s prices (for example, poor management decisions, poor earnings reports by an issuer, loss of major customers, competition, major litigation against an issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting an industry). Not all of these factors nor their affects can be predicted.

 

•  Changing Distribution Levels Risk: Although the Fund will invest primarily in income-producing equities, the amount of income that the Fund will receive will vary and the Fund cannot guarantee any particular level of distributions. Companies that have paid regular dividends to shareholders may decrease or eliminate dividend payments in the future. A decrease in dividend payments by an issuer may result in the Fund receiving less income.

 

•  Cyber Security Risk: As part of its business, the Adviser processes, stores and transmits large amounts of electronic information, including information relating to the transactions of the Fund. The Adviser and Fund may be susceptible to operational and information security risk. Cyber security failures or breaches of the Adviser or the Fund’s other service providers have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of the Fund's shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties and/or reputational damage. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.

 

•  Dividend Paying Stock Risk: A decrease in the dividend payments by an issuer may result in a decrease in the value of the security. A fund pursuing a dividend-oriented investment strategy may at times underperform other funds that invest more broadly or that have different investment styles.

 

•  Equity Securities Risk: Stock markets are volatile. The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions.

 

•  Foreign Securities Risk: The risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) 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.

 

•  REIT Risk: The securities of REITs may involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements because of interest rate changes, geographic or industry concentration, economic conditions and other factors. Non-listed REIT securities may lack sufficient liquidity to enable the Fund to sell them at an advantageous time or to minimize a loss. Distributions from REITs may include a return of capital. A REIT that does not qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code will pay taxes on its earnings, which will reduce the dividends paid by the REIT to the Fund. Some REITs are highly leveraged, which may increase the risk of loss. 

  

•  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 other investments, potentially including investments that may not perform as well as the investment opportunity.

 

•  Master Limited Partnership Risk: MLPs are partnerships which are publicly traded and listed on a national security exchange. MLPs are interest-rate sensitive investments that may trade in lower volumes and be subject to abrupt or erratic price movements and may involve less control by outside investors and potential conflicts of interest among an MLP and its general partner. MLPs are also subject to different tax rules than other publicly-traded equity securities that may adversely impact the Fund. MLPs primarily are engaged in energy and natural resource sectors, which makes them sensitive to negative developments in those sectors.

 

•  Model and Data Risk: Quantitative models and market data upon which the Adviser relies may prove to be incorrect or incomplete, potentially resulting in lower investment performance or losses to the Fund.

 

• Tax Legislation Risk:  On December 22, 2017, new tax legislation was enacted which includes changes to tax rates, restrictions on miscellaneous itemized deductions, changes to the dividends received deduction, restrictions on the deductibility of interest, and changes to the taxation of the international operations of domestic businesses. Certain changes have sunset provisions, which are important to note. Because the tax legislation is newly enacted and additional guidance is forthcoming, there is uncertainty in how the newly enacted tax legislation will affect the Fund’s investments, as such impact may be adverse. Shareholders are urged and advised to consult their own tax advisor with respect to the impact of this legislation.

[1] A 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") may apply to investments of $1 million or more of Class A shares (and therefore no initial sales charge was paid by the shareholder) when shares are redeemed within 12 months after initial purchase. The CDSC shall not apply to those purchases of Class A shares of $1 million or more where the selling broker dealer was not paid a commission.
[2] Choice Financial Partners, Inc., d/b/a EquityCompass Strategies, ("EquityCompass" 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 taxes, fees and expenses attributable to a distribution or service plan adopted by the Trust, "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses," dividend and interest expense on securities sold short, interest, extraordinary items and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 0.99% of average daily net assets of the Fund (the "Expense Limitation"). The Expense Limitation will remain in effect until August 31, 2019, 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 date on which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. The Adviser is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Fund, subject to certain limitations, for fees it waived and Fund expenses it paid to the extent the total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed the limits described above or any lesser limits in effect at the time of reimbursement. No recoupment will occur unless the Fund's expenses are below the Expense Limitation amount.
