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 335.07% of the average value of its portfolio, due largely to the change in investment advisors for the Fund.

[1] The expense information in the table has been restated to reflect current fees rather than the fees in effect during the previous fiscal year.
[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 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 October 1, 2016. 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 0.45%. In conjunction with the Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement, the Advisor has entered into an Operating Plan with the Fund's administrator, also through October 1, 2016, under which it has agreed to (i) to pay the administrator a fee based on the daily average net assets of the Fund when net assets are below $39 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 1.70% 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 1.70% 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.
[4] It should be noted that the performance reflected below reflects that of the prior investment advisor, Caritas Capital, LLC. The Fund's current advisor, Goodwood Advisors, LLC, assumed responsibility of fund operations on October 31, 2013. Advisor Class shares commenced operations on January 4, 2010. Institutional Class shares commenced operations on July 16, 2014. Annual performance for the Institutional Class shares is not yet available as a full calendar year has not yet passed since the date of inception. However, Institutional Class shares are projected to have substantially similar annual returns to the Advisor Class because both the Advisor Class and Institutional Class shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities. The annual returns would differ only to the extent that the Classes have different expenses .
