Performance Table Heading rr_PerformanceTableHeading
Performance Table Uses Highest Federal Rate rr_PerformanceTableUsesHighestFederalRate 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.
Performance Table Not Relevant to Tax Deferred rr_PerformanceTableNotRelevantToTaxDeferred Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown and are not applicable to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account (IRA).
Performance Table One Class of after Tax Shown [Text] rr_PerformanceTableOneClassOfAfterTaxShown After-tax returns are shown for only one class of shares and after-tax returns will vary for other classes.
Performance Table Narrative rr_PerformanceTableNarrativeTextBlock
[1] "Interest and Dividends on Securities Sold Short" reflects interest expense and dividends paid on borrowed securities. Interest expense results from the Fund's use of prime brokerage arrangements to execute short sales. Dividends paid on borrowed securities are an expense of short sales. Such expenses are required to be treated as a Fund expense for accounting purposes and are not payable to the Fund or the Adviser. Any interest expense amount or dividends paid on securities sold short will vary based on the Fund's use of those investments.
[2] "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund's financial statements, once available, because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund.
[3] The Fund's administrator has entered into a Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement with the Fund that runs through July 31, 2015. The agreement can only be terminated prior to that date at the discretion of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Fund's administrator receives payments under the agreement at a maximum annual rate of 0.30%. In conjunction with the Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement, the Advisor has entered into an Operating Plan with the Fund's administrator, also through July 31, 2015, under which it has agreed (i) to pay the administrator a fee based on the daily average net assets of the Fund when net assets are below $90 million; (ii) if these payments are less than a designated minimum, then the Advisor pays a fee that makes up the difference; and (iii) to assume expenses of the Fund outlined in the Operating Plan that are not covered by the fee paid under Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement. These measures are intended to limit the Fund's operating expenses to 1.50% of the average daily net assets, exclusive of brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, borrowing costs (such as interest or dividend expenses on securities sold short), acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses, and distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees. The Fund's net expense ratio will be higher than 1.50% to the extent the Fund incurs expenses excluded from this arrangement. The Operating Plan can only be terminated prior to the conclusion of the current term with the approval of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
