Expense Narrative [Text Block]	rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock	The tables below describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in Class A Shares of eligible funds that are part of the family of mutual funds sponsored by Allianz. More information about these and other discounts is available in the "Classes of Shares" section beginning on page 27 of the Fund's statutory prospectus or from your financial advisor.

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). High levels of portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples above, can adversely affect the Fund's investment performance.
Expense Breakpoint Discounts [Text]	rr_ExpenseBreakpointDiscounts	You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in Class A Shares of eligible funds that are part of the family of mutual funds sponsored by Allianz.

Expense Example [Heading]	rr_ExpenseExampleHeading	Examples.
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]	rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock	The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, your investment has a 5% return each year, and the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions. The Examples are based, for the first year, on Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reductions and, for all other periods, on Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses.

Expense Example, No Redemption, By Year, Caption [Text]	rr_ExpenseExampleNoRedemptionByYearCaption	Example: Assuming you do not redeem your shares
Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in common stocks of U.S. companies. The Fund currently defines "U.S. companies" as those companies that are deemed to be domiciled in the United States for purposes of their geographical eligibility for inclusion in the S&P 500 Index, a broad-based index of U.S. stocks. The Fund expects to invest typically in all 500 stocks included in the S&P 500 Index, and seeks to replicate approximately the relative weighting of those stocks on the S&P 500 Index. To the extent the portfolio managers identify efficiencies in achieving exposure to desired stocks through other instruments, the Fund may complement its direct stock positions with temporary or medium-term investments in stock index futures, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and other derivative instruments. The portfolio managers may consider selling a particular position if the security ceases to be included on the S&P 500 Index (either through quarterly rebalancing of the index or otherwise) or if a more attractive means of achieving the same exposure is identified. Because the S&P 500 Index does not incur the types of transaction costs that the Fund bears in connection with rebalancing and responding to cash flows, the Fund's stock portfolio (regardless of whether through direct or indirect holdings) may consistently underperform the S&P 500 Index. Under normal market and other conditions, in addition to the stock portfolio described above, the Fund seeks to employ a strategy of investing in exchange-traded options or FLEX options (i.e. listed options that are traded on an exchange, but with customized strike prices and expiration dates) that, when paired with the equity portfolio, promote the protection of capital during unfavorable market conditions (the "Index Option Strategy").The Fund will utilize (buy) equity index put options (long puts) on U.S. equity indexes with the purpose of protecting the Fund from a significant market decline while limiting the cost and interference of this "protection," and will write (sell) equity index call options (short calls) on U.S. equity indexes to offset some or all of the cost of the put options. Under normal market conditions, the option positions will consist of long puts with notional value roughly equal to the full value of the Fund's stock portfolio, expiring in roughly equal proportions over longer periods (e.g., the next 12 months), and short call positions expiring over a shorter period (e.g. less than 45 days) with notional value roughly equal to the full value of the Fund's stock portfolio. Additionally, when a new long put position is established in periods of elevated volatility, the portfolio managers may seek to pair it with a short put at a strike price below the coinciding long put. All options are expected to be held to expiration (unless redemptions require earlier close-out), and strike prices are systematically selected. In pursuing the Index Option Strategy, the Fund generally will not be able to offset the full cost of the "protection" it is seeking and must keep significant cash and cash equivalents available, and therefore the Fund will typically underperform the S&P 500 Index during periods of market increases and slight market decreases. In response to unusual market and other conditions, the Fund may deviate from its principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in long call options or call option spreads, high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective when it does so.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund's net asset value, yield and total return will be affected by the allocation determinations, investment decisions and techniques of the Fund's management, factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers, and factors influencing the U.S. or global economies and securities markets or relevant industries or sectors within them (Management Risk, Issuer Risk, Market Risk). Equity securities may react more strongly to changes in an issuer's financial condition or prospects than other securities of the same issuer (Equity Securities Risk). Other principal risks include: Credit Risk (an issuer or counterparty may default on obligations); Derivatives Risk (derivative instruments are complex, have different characteristics than their underlying assets and are subject to additional risks, including leverage, liquidity and valuation); Leveraging Risk (instruments and transactions that constitute leverage magnify gains or losses and increase volatility); Liquidity Risk (the lack of an active market for investments may cause delay in disposition or force a sale below fair value); and Turnover Risk (high levels of portfolio turnover increase transaction costs and taxes and may lower investment performance). Please see "Summary of Principal Risks" in the Fund's statutory prospectus for a more detailed description of the Fund's risks. It is possible to lose money on an investment 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.

[3] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reductions reflect the effect of a contractual agreement by the Manager to waive, through December 31, 2013, its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, including payment of organizational expenses but excluding interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses, and certain credits and other expenses, exceed 1.25% for Class A and 2.00% for Class C shares. Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Manager may recoup waived or reimbursed amounts until November 30, 2017, provided total expenses, including such recoupment, do not exceed the annual expenses limit.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies that are domiciled in or tied economically to countries with emerging securities markets-that is, countries with securities markets which are, in the opinion of the portfolio managers, less sophisticated than more developed markets in terms of participation by investors, analyst coverage, liquidity and regulation. The Fund may achieve its exposure to non-U.S. equity securities in several ways, including through investing in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and other depositary receipts, in addition to direct investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments, as well as access products such as participatory notes. Although the Fund does not expect to invest significantly in foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments, it may do so at any time. In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers use a value investing style focusing on equity securities of companies whose securities the portfolio managers believe have low valuations, including smaller capitalization securities and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The portfolio managers partition the Fund's initial selection universe of non-U.S. and U.S. companies for dividend-paying value opportunities across the emerging markets to determine potential holdings for the Fund representing broad diversification by sector, industry, country and issue. The portfolio managers use quantitative factors to screen the Fund's selection universe, analyzing factors such as price-to-earnings ratios (i.e., share price relative to a company's earnings), dividend yield, price-to-book ratios (i.e., share price relative to a company's balance sheet value), price-to-cash-flow ratios (i.e., share price relative to a company's cash flow). After still further narrowing the universe through a combination of qualitative analysis and fundamental research, the portfolio managers select approximately 125 to 175 securities for the Fund. The portfolio managers may consider selling a security when any of the factors leading to its purchase materially changes or when a more attractive candidate is identified, including when an alternative security demonstrates a lower price-to-earnings ratio, a higher dividend yield or other, favorable qualitative metrics. In response to unfavorable market and other conditions, the Fund may deviate from its principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The Fund may be less likely to achieve its investment objective when it does so.

Examples.

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares
of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples
assume that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time
periods indicated, your investment has a 5% return each year, and the Fund's
operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher
or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.
The Examples are based, for the first year, on Total Annual Fund Operating
Expenses After Expense Reductions and, for all other periods, on Total Annual
Fund Operating Expenses.

Expense Example Allianz AGIC Structured Alpha Fund (USD $)	Expense Example, with Redemption, 1 Year	Expense Example, with Redemption, 3 Years
Institutional	168	912
Class P	178	942
Class D	193	986

Portfolio Turnover.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). High levels of portfolio turnover
may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you
if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are
not reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples above,
can adversely affect the Fund's investment performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing significantly
in exchange-traded listed and FLEX U.S. equity index options, while holding
cash and cash equivalents as collateral for option investments.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will hold the majority of its assets
in cash and cash equivalents such as U.S. Treasury bills. The portfolio managers
will select these in an effort to maintain a stable portfolio base as collateral
for the index option spread strategy described below.

Using a portion of its cash and cash equivalents as collateral, the portfolio
managers utilize a combination of proprietary models to construct paired option
positions, or so-called "option spreads," typically by buying and selling put
options and call options on equity indexes such as the S&P 500 Index, Russell
2000 Index and NASDAQ 100. Call options are contracts representing the right to
purchase the underlying instrument at a specified price (the "strike price") at
or before a specified future date (the "expiration date"), while put options
represent the right to sell the underlying instrument at the strike price on or
before the expiration date. Index options, which are not based on a single
underlying security, are typically cash-settled without requiring delivery. The
Fund may buy and sell exchange-traded options and FLEX options (i.e., listed
options that are traded on an exchange but with customized strike prices and
expiration dates). Option spreads are typically created by buying and selling options
of the same class on the same underlying instrument but with different
strike prices or expiration dates. The number of contracts bought and sold can
be different in a spread (normally called a "ratio spread") or they can be the same.
The portfolio managers seek to create option-based "profit zones" that
upon expiration of the combination of individual option positions that make up
the option spread will capture positive payoffs if the level of the underlying
index (or other instrument) ends up within the chosen "profit zone." The Fund
seeks to optimize spread positions and profit zones based on (a) targeted
positive return potential, (b) structural risk protections, (c) collateral
management, and (d) flexibility to restructure profit zones if necessary. The
Fund intends to invest primarily in option spreads, consisting of 50 to 400
individual option positions, and may buy or sell put or call index options that
are not paired as part of an option spread. The duration of individual option
positions will normally range from 20 to 75 days at inception. The gross
notional value of options held by the Fund may significantly exceed the current
net asset value of the Fund at any time. To the extent the Fund enters into
option positions that are only partially or not at all paired as part of an
option spread, the Fund may have greater exposure to rapid deterioration of the
portfolio and should be deemed speculative.

The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs") and exchange traded notes
("ETNs"), including ETFs and ETNs that provide exposure to market volatility,
either as an offset or as an addition to option-based trades. The Fund may
utilize foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures
contracts and other derivative instruments. In response to unfavorable market
and other conditions, the Fund may deviate from its principal strategies by making
temporary investments of some or all of its assets in high-quality fixed income
securities, cash and cash equivalents. The Fund may not achieve its investment
objective when it does so.

Principal Risks

The Fund's net asset value, yield and total return will be affected by the
allocation determinations, investment decisions and techniques of the Fund's
management, and factors influencing the U.S. or global economies and securities
markets or relevant industries or sectors within them (Management Risk, Market
Risk). Fixed income (debt) securities are subject to greater levels of credit
and liquidity risk, may be speculative and may decline in value due to changes
in interest rates or an issuer's or counterparty's deterioration or default
(Fixed Income Risk). Other principal risks include: Credit Risk (an issuer or
counterparty may default on obligations); Derivatives Risk (derivative instruments
are complex, have different characteristics than their underlying assets and are
subject to additional risks, including leverage, liquidity and valuation);
Leveraging Risk (instruments and transactions that constitute leverage magnify
gains or losses and increase volatility); Liquidity Risk (the lack of an active
market for investments may cause delay in disposition or force a sale below fair
value); and Turnover Risk (high levels of portfolio turnover increase transaction
costs and taxes and may lower investment performance). Please see "Summary of
Principal Risks" in the Fund's statutory prospectus for a more detailed description
of the Fund's risks. It is possible to lose money on an investment 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.

Performance Information

Performance information for the Fund will be available after the Fund completes a
full calendar year of operation.

[1] Other expenses are based upon estimated amounts for the Fund's initial fiscal year ending November 30, 2013 and include organizational expenses.

[2] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reductions reflect the effect of a contractual agreement by the Manager to waive, through December 31, 2013, its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, including payment of organizational expenses but excluding interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses, and certain credits and other expenses, exceed 1.65% for Institutional Class, 1.75% for Class P and 1.90% for Class D shares.

Portfolio Turnover.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). High levels of portfolio turnover
may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you
if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples above,
can adversely affect the Fund's investment performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least
80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in common
stocks of U.S. companies. The Fund currently defines "U.S. companies" as those
companies that are deemed to be domiciled in the United States for purposes
of their geographical eligibility for inclusion in the S&P 500 Index, a
broad-based index of U.S. stocks.

The Fund expects to invest typically in all 500 stocks included in the S&P 500
Index, and seeks to replicate approximately the relative weighting of those stocks
on the S&P 500 Index. To the extent the portfolio managers identify efficiencies in
achieving exposure to desired stocks through other instruments, the Fund may
complement its direct stock positions with temporary or medium-term investments
in stock index futures, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and other derivative instruments.
The portfolio managers may consider selling a particular position if the security
ceases to be included on the S&P 500 Index (either through quarterly rebalancing of
the index or otherwise) or if a more attractive means of achieving the same exposure
is identified. Because the S&P 500 Index does not incur the types of transaction costs
that the Fund bears in connection with rebalancing and responding to cash flows, the
Fund's stock portfolio (regardless of whether through direct or indirect holdings)
may consistently underperform the S&P 500 Index.

Under normal market and other conditions, in addition to the stock portfolio described
above, the Fund seeks to employ a strategy of investing in exchange-traded options or
FLEX options (i.e. listed options that are traded on an exchange, but with customized
strike prices and expiration dates) that, when paired with the equity portfolio, promote
the protection of capital during unfavorable market conditions (the "Index Option
Strategy"). The Fund will utilize (buy) equity index put options (long puts) on U.S.
equity indexes with the purpose of protecting the Fund from a significant market decline
while limiting the cost and interference of this "protection," and will write (sell)
equity index call options (short calls) on U.S. equity indexes to offset some or all of
the cost of the put options. Under normal market conditions, the option positions will
consist of long puts with notional value roughly equal to the full value of the Fund's
stock portfolio, expiring in roughly equal proportions over longer periods (e.g., the
next 12 months), and short call positions expiring over a shorter period (e.g. less than
45 days) with notional value roughly equal to the full value of the Fund's stock portfolio.
Additionally, when a new long put position is established in periods of elevated
volatility, the portfolio managers may seek to pair it with a short put at a strike price
below the coinciding long put. All options are expected to be held to expiration (unless
redemptions require earlier close-out), and strike prices are systematically selected.
In pursuing the Index Option Strategy, the Fund generally will not be able to offset the
full cost of the "protection" it is seeking and must keep significant cash and cash
equivalents available, and therefore the Fund will typically underperform the S&P 500
Index during periods of market increases and slight market decreases.

In response to unusual market and other conditions, the Fund may deviate from its
principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in long
call options or call option spreads, high-quality fixed income securities, cash and
cash equivalents. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective when it does so.

Principal Risks

The Fund's net asset value, yield and total return will be affected by the allocation
determinations, investment decisions and techniques of the Fund's management, factors
specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests,
including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects
of such issuers, and factors influencing the U.S. or global economies and securities
markets or relevant industries or sectors within them (Management Risk, Issuer Risk,
Market Risk). Equity securities may react more strongly to changes in an issuer's
financial condition or prospects than other securities of the same issuer (Equity
Securities Risk). Other principal risks include: Credit Risk (an issuer or counterparty
may default on obligations); Derivatives Risk (derivative instruments are complex, have
different characteristics than their underlying assets and are subject to additional
risks, including leverage, liquidity and valuation); Leveraging Risk (instruments and
transactions that constitute leverage magnify gains or losses and increase volatility);
Liquidity Risk (the lack of an active market for investments may cause delay in
disposition or force a sale below fair value); and Turnover Risk (high levels of
portfolio turnover increase transaction costs and taxes and may lower investment
performance). Please see "Summary of Principal Risks" in the Fund's statutory prospectus
for a more detailed description of the Fund's risks. It is possible to lose money on an
investment 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.

The Fund may achieve its exposure to non-U.S. equity securities in several ways, including through investing in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and other depositary receipts, in addition to direct investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments, as well as access products such as participatory notes. Although the Fund does not expect to invest significantly in foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments, it may do so at any time. In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers use a value investing style focusing on equity securities of companies whose securities the portfolio managers believe have low valuations, including smaller capitalization securities and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The portfolio managers partition the Fund's initial selection universe of non-U.S. and U.S. companies for dividend-paying value opportunities across the emerging markets to determine potential holdings for the Fund representing broad diversification by sector, industry, country and issue. The portfolio managers use quantitative factors to screen the Fund's selection universe, analyzing factors such as price-to-earnings ratios (i.e., share price relative to a company's earnings), dividend yield, price-to-book ratios (i.e., share price relative to a company's balance sheet value), price-to-cash-flow ratios (i.e., share price relative to a company's cash flow). After still further narrowing the universe through a combination of qualitative analysis and fundamental research, the portfolio managers select approximately 125 to 175 securities for the Fund. The portfolio managers may consider selling a security when any of the factors leading to its purchase materially changes or when a more attractive candidate is identified, including when an alternative security demonstrates a lower price-to-earnings ratio, a higher dividend yield or other, favorable qualitative metrics. In response to unfavorable market and other conditions, the Fund may deviate from its principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The Fund may be less likely to achieve its investment objective when it does so.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund's net asset value, yield and total return will be affected by the allocation determinations, investment decisions and techniques of the Fund's management, factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers, and factors influencing the U.S. or global economies and securities markets or relevant industries or sectors within them (Management Risk, Issuer Risk, Market Risk). Equity securities may react more strongly to changes in an issuer's financial condition or prospects than other securities of the same issuer, and securities issued by smaller companies may be more volatile and present increased liquidity risk (Equity Securities Risk, Smaller Company Risk). Non-U.S. securities markets and issuers may be more volatile, smaller, less-liquid, less transparent and subject to less oversight, particularly in emerging markets, and non-U.S. securities values may also fluctuate with currency exchange rates (Non-U.S. Investment Risk, Emerging Markets Risk, Currency Risk). Other principal risks include: Credit Risk (an issuer or counterparty may default on obligations); Liquidity Risk (the lack of an active market for investments may cause delay in disposition or force a sale below fair value); REIT Risk (adverse changes in the real estate markets may affect the value of REIT investments); and Turnover Risk (high levels of portfolio turnover increase transaction costs and taxes and may lower investment performance).

Examples.

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of
the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume
that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods

Expense Example, No Redemption Allianz AGIC Structured Alpha Fund (USD $)	Expense Example, No Redemption, 1 Year	Expense Example, No Redemption, 3 Years
Class A	732	1,482
Class C	268	1,204

Portfolio Turnover.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). High levels of portfolio turnover
may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you
if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples above, can
adversely affect the Fund's investment performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing significantly
in exchange-traded listed and FLEX U.S. equity index options, while holding
cash and cash equivalents as collateral for option investments.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will hold the majority of its assets
in cash and cash equivalents such as U.S. Treasury bills. The portfolio managers
will select these in an effort to maintain a stable portfolio base as collateral
for the index option spread strategy described below.

Using a portion of its cash and cash equivalents as collateral, the portfolio
managers utilize a combination of proprietary models to construct paired option
positions, or so-called "option spreads," typically by buying and selling put
options and call options on equity indexes such as the S&P 500 Index, Russell 2000
Index and NASDAQ 100. Call options are contracts representing the right to purchase
the underlying instrument at a specified price (the "strike price") at or before a
specified future date (the "expiration date"), while put options represent the right
to sell the underlying instrument at the strike price on or before the expiration
date. Index options, which are not based on a single underlying security, are
typically cash-settled without requiring delivery. The Fund may buy and sell
exchange-traded options and FLEX options (i.e., listed options that are traded on
an exchange but with customized strike prices and expiration dates). Option spreads
are typically created by buying and selling options of the same class on the same
underlying instrument but with different strike prices or expiration dates. The
number of contracts bought and sold can be different in a spread (normally called a
"ratio spread") or they can be the same. The portfolio managers seek to create
option-based "profit zones" that upon expiration of the combination of individual
option positions that make up the option spread will capture positive payoffs if
the level of the underlying index (or other instrument) ends up within the chosen
"profit zone." The Fund seeks to optimize spread positions and profit zones based
on (a) targeted positive return potential, (b) structural risk protections,
(c) collateral management, and (d) flexibility to restructure profit zones if
necessary. The Fund intends to invest primarily in option spreads, consisting of 50
to 400 individual option positions, and may buy or sell put or call index options
that are not paired as part of an option spread. The duration of individual option
positions will normally range from 20 to 75 days at inception. The gross notional
value of options held by the Fund may significantly exceed the current net asset value
of the Fund at any time. To the extent the Fund enters into option positions that are
only partially or not at all paired as part of an option spread, the Fund may have
greater exposure to rapid deterioration of the portfolio and should be deemed
speculative.

The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs") and exchange traded notes ("ETNs"),
including ETFs and ETNs that provide exposure to market volatility, either as an offset
or as an addition to option-based trades. The Fund may utilize foreign currency exchange
contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments. In
response to unfavorable market and other conditions, the Fund may deviate from its
principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in
high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The Fund may not achieve
its investment objective when it does so.

Principal Risks

The Fund's net asset value, yield and total return will be affected by the
allocation determinations, investment decisions and techniques of the Fund's
management and factors influencing the U.S. or global economies and securities
markets or relevant industries or sectors within them (Management Risk, Market
Risk). Fixed income (debt) securities are subject to greater levels of credit
and liquidity risk, may be speculative and may decline in value due to changes
in interest rates or an issuer's or counterparty's deterioration or default
(Fixed Income Risk). Other principal risks include: Credit Risk (an issuer or
counterparty may default on obligations); Derivatives Risk (derivative
instruments are complex, have different characteristics than their underlying
assets and are subject to additional risks, including leverage, liquidity and
valuation); Leveraging Risk (instruments and transactions that constitute
leverage magnify gains or losses and increase volatility); Liquidity Risk
(the lack of an active market for investments may cause delay in disposition or
force a sale below fair value); and Turnover Risk (high levels of portfolio
turnover increase transaction costs and taxes and may lower investment
performance). Please see "Summary of Principal Risks" in the Fund's statutory
prospectus for a more detailed description of the Fund's risks. It is possible
to lose money on an investment 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.

Performance Information

Performance information for the Fund will be available after the Fund completes a
full calendar year of operation.

[1] For Class A shares, the CDSC is imposed only in certain circumstances where shares are purchased without a front-end sales charge at the time of purchase. For Class C shares, the CDSC is imposed only on shares redeemed in the first year.

may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you
if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples above,
can adversely affect the Fund's investment performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at
least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in
equity securities of companies that are domiciled in or tied economically to
countries with emerging securities markets-that is, countries with securities
markets which are, in the opinion of the portfolio managers, less sophisticated
than more developed markets in terms of participation by investors, analyst
coverage, liquidity and regulation. The Fund may achieve its exposure to non-U.S.
equity securities in several ways, including through investing in American
Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and other depositary receipts, in addition to direct
investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Fund may also utilize
foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and
other derivative instruments, as well as access products such as participatory
notes. Although the Fund does not expect to invest significantly in foreign
currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other
derivative instruments, it may do so at any time.

In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers use a value investing
style focusing on equity securities of companies whose securities the portfolio
managers believe have low valuations, including smaller capitalization securities
and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The portfolio managers partition the
Fund's initial selection universe of non-U.S. and U.S. companies for dividend-paying
value opportunities across the emerging markets to determine potential holdings for
the Fund representing broad diversification by sector, industry, country and issue.

universe, analyzing factors such as price-to-earnings ratios (i.e., share price
relative to a company's earnings), dividend yield, price-to-book ratios (i.e., share
price relative to a company's balance sheet value), price-to-cash-flow ratios
(i.e., share price relative to a company's cash flow). After still further narrowing
the universe through a combination of qualitative analysis and fundamental research,
the portfolio managers select approximately 125 to 175 securities for the Fund. The
portfolio managers may consider selling a security when any of the factors
leading to its purchase materially changes or when a more attractive candidate is
identified, including when an alternative security demonstrates a lower
price-to-earnings ratio, a higher dividend yield or other, favorable qualitative
metrics.

In response to unfavorable market and other conditions, the Fund may deviate from
its principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets
in high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The Fund may be
less likely to achieve its investment objective when it does so.

Principal Risks

The Fund's net asset value, yield and total return will be affected by the allocation
determinations, investment decisions and techniques of the Fund's management, factors
specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests,
including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business
prospects of such issuers, and factors influencing the U.S. or global economies and
securities markets or relevant industries or sectors within them (Management Risk,
Issuer Risk, Market Risk). Equity securities may react more strongly to changes in an
issuer's financial condition or prospects than other securities of the same issuer,
and securities issued by smaller companies may be more volatile and present
increased liquidity risk (Equity Securities Risk, Smaller Company Risk). Non-U.S.
securities markets and issuers may be more volatile, smaller, less-liquid, less
transparent and subject to less oversight, particularly in emerging markets, and
non-U.S. securities values may also fluctuate with currency exchange rates (Non-U.S.
Investment Risk, Emerging Markets Risk, Currency Risk). Other principal risks include:
Credit Risk (an issuer or counterparty may default on obligations); Liquidity  Risk
(the lack of an active market for investments may cause delay in disposition or force
a sale below fair value); REIT Risk (adverse changes in the real estate markets may
affect the value of REIT investments); and Turnover Risk (high levels of portfolio
turnover increase transaction costs and taxes and may lower investment performance).
Please see "Summary of Principal Risks" in the Fund's statutory prospectus for a more
detailed description of the Fund's risks. It is possible to lose money on an investment
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.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing significantly in exchange-traded listed and FLEX U.S. equity index options, while holding cash and cash equivalents as collateral for option investments. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will hold the majority of its assets in cash and cash equivalents such as U.S. Treasury bills. The portfolio managers will select these in an effort to maintain a stable portfolio base as collateral for the index option spread strategy described below. Using a portion of its cash and cash equivalents as collateral, the portfolio managers utilize a combination of proprietary models to construct paired option positions, or so-called "option spreads," typically by buying and selling put options and call options on equity indexes such as the S&P 500 Index, Russell 2000 Index and NASDAQ 100. Call options are contracts representing the right to purchase the underlying instrument at a specified price (the "strike price") at or before a specified future date (the "expiration date"), while put options represent the right to sell the underlying instrument at the strike price on or before the expiration date. Index options, which are not based on a single underlying security, are typically cash-settled without requiring delivery. The Fund may buy and sell exchange-traded options and FLEX options (i.e., listed options that are traded on an exchange but with customized strike prices and expiration dates). Option spreads are typically created by buying and selling options of the same class on the same underlying instrument but with different strike prices or expiration dates. The number of contracts bought and sold can be different in a spread (normally called a "ratio spread") or they can be the same. The portfolio managers seek to create option-based "profit zones" that upon expiration of the combination of individual option positions that make up the option spread will capture positive payoffs if the level of the underlying index (or other instrument) ends up within the chosen "profit zone." The Fund seeks to optimize spread positions and profit zones based on (a) targeted positive return potential, (b) structural risk protections, (c) collateral management, and (d) flexibility to restructure profit zones if necessary. The Fund intends to invest primarily in option spreads, consisting of 50 to 400 individual option positions, and may buy or sell put or call index options that are not paired as part of an option spread. The duration of individual option positions will normally range from 20 to 75 days at inception. The gross notional value of options held by the Fund may significantly exceed the current net asset value of the Fund at any time. To the extent the Fund enters into option positions that are only partially or not at all paired as part of an option spread, the Fund may have greater exposure to rapid deterioration of the portfolio and should be deemed speculative. The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds ("ETFs") and exchange traded notes ("ETNs"), including ETFs and ETNs that provide exposure to market volatility, either as an offset or as an addition to option-based trades. The Fund may utilize foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments. In response to unfavorable market and other conditions, the Fund may deviate from its principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective when it does so.

Examples.

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of
the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume
that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated,
your investment has a 5% return each year, and the Fund's operating expenses remain
the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show
what your costs would be based on these assumptions. The Examples are based, for

Portfolio Turnover.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). High levels of portfolio turnover
may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you if
your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples above, can
adversely affect the Fund's investment performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least
80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in equity
securities of companies that are domiciled in or tied economically to countries
with emerging securities markets-that is, countries with securities markets
which are, in the opinion of the portfolio managers, less sophisticated than more
developed markets in terms of participation by investors, analyst coverage,
liquidity and regulation. The Fund may achieve its exposure to non-U.S. equity
securities in several ways, including through investing in American Depositary
Receipts (ADRs) and other depositary receipts, in addition to direct investments in
the securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency
exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative
instruments, as well as access products such as participatory notes. Although the
Fund does not expect to invest significantly in foreign currency exchange
contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments,
it may do so at any time.

In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers use a value investing
style focusing on equity securities of companies whose securities the portfolio
managers believe have low valuations, including smaller capitalization securities
and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The portfolio managers partition the Fund's
initial selection universe of non-U.S. and U.S. companies for dividend-paying
value opportunities across the emerging markets to determine potential holdings for
the Fund representing broad diversification by sector, industry, country and issue.
The portfolio managers use quantitative factors to screen the Fund's selection universe, analyzing factors such as price-to-earnings ratios (i.e., share price relative to a
company's earnings), dividend yield, price-to-book ratios (i.e., share price relative
to a company's balance sheet value), price-to-cash-flow ratios (i.e., share price
relative to a company's cash flow). After still further narrowing the universe through
a combination of qualitative analysis and fundamental research, the portfolio managers
select approximately 125 to 175 securities for the Fund. The portfolio managers
may consider selling a security when any of the factors leading to its purchase
materially changes or when a more attractive candidate is identified, including when an alternative security demonstrates a lower price-to-earnings ratio, a higher dividend
yield or other, favorable qualitative metrics.

In response to unfavorable market and other conditions, the Fund may deviate from its
principal strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in
high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The Fund may be less
likely to achieve its investment objective when it does so.

Principal Risks

The Fund's net asset value, yield and total return will be affected by the allocation
determinations, investment decisions and techniques of the Fund's management, factors
specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests,
including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects
of such issuers, and factors influencing the U.S. or global economies and securities
markets or relevant industries or sectors within them (Management Risk, Issuer Risk,
Market Risk). Equity securities may react more strongly to changes in an issuer's
financial condition or prospects than other securities of the same issuer, and
securities issued by smaller companies may be more volatile and present increased
liquidity risk (Equity Securities Risk, Smaller Company Risk). Non-U.S. securities
markets and issuers may be more volatile, smaller, less-liquid, less transparent and
subject to less oversight, particularly in emerging markets, and non-U.S. securities
values may also fluctuate with currency exchange rates (Non-U.S. Investment Risk,
Emerging Markets Risk, Currency Risk). Other principal risks include: Credit Risk (an
issuer or counterparty may default on obligations); Liquidity Risk (the lack of an
active market for investments may cause delay in disposition or force a sale below fair
value); REIT Risk (adverse changes in the real estate markets may affect the value of
REIT investments); and Turnover Risk (high levels of portfolio turnover increase
transaction costs and taxes and may lower investment performance). Please see "Summary
of Principal Risks" in the Fund's statutory prospectus for a more detailed description
of the Fund's risks. It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. An

Portfolio Turnover.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). High levels of portfolio turnover
may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you
if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples above, can
adversely affect the Fund's investment performance.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least
80% of its net assets (plus borrowings made for investment purposes) in common
stocks of U.S. companies. The Fund currently defines "U.S. companies" as those
companies that are deemed to be domiciled in the United States for purposes
of their geographical eligibility for inclusion in the S&P 500 Index, a
broad-based index of U.S. stocks.

The Fund expects to invest typically in all 500 stocks included in the S&P 500
Index, and seeks to replicate approximately the relative weighting of those
stocks on the S&P 500 Index. To the extent the portfolio managers identify
efficiencies in achieving exposure to desired stocks through other instruments,
the Fund may complement its direct stock positions with temporary or medium-term
investments in stock index futures, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and other
derivative instruments. The portfolio managers may consider selling a particular
position if the security ceases to be included on the S&P 500 Index (either through
quarterly rebalancing of the index or otherwise) or if a more attractive means of
achieving the same exposure is identified. Because the S&P 500 Index does not
incur the types of transaction costs that the Fund bears in connection with
rebalancing and responding to cash flows, the Fund's stock portfolio (regardless
of whether through direct or indirect holdings) may consistently underperform the
S&P 500 Index.

Under normal market and other conditions, in addition to the stock portfolio described
above, the Fund seeks to employ a strategy of investing in exchange-traded options
or FLEX options (i.e. listed options that are traded on an exchange, but with customized
strike prices and expiration dates) that, when paired with the equity portfolio, promote
the protection of capital during unfavorable market conditions (the "Index Option
Strategy").The Fund will utilize (buy) equity index put options (long puts) on U.S. equity
indexes with the purpose of protecting the Fund from a significant market decline while
limiting the cost and interference of this "protection," and will write (sell) equity index call
options (short calls) on U.S. equity indexes to offset some or all of the cost of the put
options. Under normal market conditions, the option positions will consist of long puts
with notional value roughly equal to the full value of the Fund's stock portfolio, expiring
in roughly equal proportions over longer periods (e.g., the next 12 months), and short call
positions expiring over a shorter period (e.g. less than 45 days) with notional value roughly
equal to the full value of the Fund's stock portfolio. Additionally, when a new long put
position is established in periods of elevated volatility, the portfolio managers may seek to
pair it with a short put at a strike price below the coinciding long put. All options are
expected to be held to expiration (unless redemptions require earlier close-out),
and strike prices are systematically selected. In pursuing the Index Option Strategy, the
Fund generally will not be able to offset the full cost of the "protection" it is seeking and must
keep significant cash and cash equivalents available, and therefore the Fund will
typically underperform the S&P 500 Index during periods of market increases and slight
market decreases.

In response to unusual market and other conditions, the Fund may deviate from its principal
strategies by making temporary investments of some or all of its assets in long call options or
call option spreads, high-quality fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents. The
Fund may not achieve its investment objective when it does so.

Principal Risks

The Fund's net asset value, yield and total return will be affected by the allocation
determinations, investment decisions and techniques of the Fund's management, factors
specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests,
including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects
of such issuers, and factors influencing the U.S. or global economies and securities
markets or relevant industries or sectors within them (Management Risk, Issuer Risk,
Market Risk). Equity securities may react more strongly to changes in an issuer's
financial condition or prospects than other securities of the same issuer (Equity
Securities Risk). Other principal risks include: Credit Risk (an issuer or
counterparty may default on obligations); Derivatives Risk (derivative instruments
are complex, have different characteristics than their underlying assets and are
subject to additional risks, including leverage, liquidity and valuation); Leveraging
Risk (instruments and transactions that constitute leverage magnify gains or losses
and increase volatility); Liquidity Risk (the lack of an active market for investments
may cause delay in disposition or force a sale below fair value); and Turnover Risk
(high levels of portfolio turnover increase transaction costs and taxes and may lower
investment performance). Please see "Summary of Principal Risks" in the Fund's
statutory prospectus for a more detailed description of the Fund's risks. It is
possible to lose money on an investment 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.
