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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 37% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example [Heading] rr_ExpenseExampleHeading Example (for both Class I and Class R6)
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock
The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the costs of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell 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 each year. The example does not reflect any brokerage commissions that you may pay on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, whether you do or do not sell your shares, your costs would be:

The above example reflects a contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangement for the current duration of the arrangement, which is three years. Therefore, only the first three years of the expenses for the 5 year and 10 year periods reflect the contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangement.
Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80 percent of its net assets (plus the amounts of any borrowings) in equity securities. Equity securities include, among other instruments, common stock, preferred stock, convertible securities (that are in the money and immediately convertible into equity at the time of investment), installment receipts, trust units, and equity-linked investments such as depositary receipts and participatory notes. The Fund generally invests in shares of companies located throughout the world, including in the United States. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 40 percent of its net assets, unless market conditions are deemed unfavorable by AGFA, the Fund’s investment adviser, in companies that are economically tied to countries throughout the world, including by being organized outside of the United States or conducting substantial business outside of the United States. The Fund will normally maintain investments in companies economically tied to a minimum of three countries in addition to the United States.

The Fund may invest up to 20 percent of its assets in issuers located in emerging market countries. AGFA defines emerging market countries to mean those countries that are included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index and those countries that are included in the MSCI Frontier Market Index.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80 percent of its net assets (plus the amounts of any borrowings) in securities of companies that AGFA believes are positively exposed to sustainable investment themes. AGFA has identified a number of sustainable investment themes that are consistent with the environmental concept of sustainable development, which, as defined in a 1987 report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, is economic development that meets the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. Examples of these sustainable investment themes may include Energy and Power Technologies, Waste Management and Pollution Control, Water and Waste Water Solutions and Environmental Health and Safety. The sustainable investment themes are not necessarily limited to the examples provided above and may change over time based on AGFA’s research. The Fund does not generally expect to invest in companies that are fossil fuel producers. Additionally, the Fund can be expected to emphasize investments in sectors such as Industrials that tend to include companies that are positively exposed to sustainable investment themes and may have a reduced weighting to other sectors such as Financials that are traditionally less exposed to sustainable investment themes. Within this framework, AGFA looks for companies that possess proven management, proprietary and strategic advantages and financial strength.

The Fund may invest in a variety of investment vehicles, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other mutual funds, including mutual funds and ETFs managed by AGFA or its affiliates. The Fund may also invest up to 20 percent of its net assets in treasury bills, bonds or other evidence of indebtedness, warrants, and cash or cash equivalents.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
There can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund is not a bank deposit, and is not guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.

Market Risk.   The value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate because of changes in the markets in which the Fund invests, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. Changes in these markets may be rapid and unpredictable. From time to time, markets may experience stress for potentially prolonged periods that may result in: (i) increased market volatility; (ii) reduced market liquidity; and (iii) increased redemptions. Such conditions may add significantly to the risk of volatility in the net asset value of the Fund’s shares.

Portfolio Management Risk.   The investment strategies, practices and risk analysis used by AGFA may not produce the desired results. In addition, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective, including during a period in which AGFA takes temporary positions in response to unusual or adverse market, economic or political conditions, or other unusual or abnormal circumstances. There is also the inherent risk in the portfolio manager’s ability to anticipate changing market conditions that can adversely affect the value of the Fund’s holdings.

Equity Securities Risk.   The value of equity securities generally fluctuate, sometime widely, based on real or perceived changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions, including stock market and industry conditions. A decline in the value of an equity security held by the Fund will adversely affect the value of your investment.

Sustainable Investing Risk.   Because the Fund focuses on equity securities of companies that AGFA believes meet the concept of sustainable development, the Fund’s universe of investments may be smaller than that of other funds that do not focus on sustainable investment themes. The Fund may forgo opportunities to gain exposure to certain attractive companies in certain industries and sectors, such as fossil fuel producers, and may have a reduced weighting in other sectors, due to their lack of positive exposure to sustainable investment themes. Because of these themes, the Fund may underperform the market as a whole if such investments underperform the market.

Foreign Securities Risk.   Investments in foreign securities involve risks that differ from investments in securities of U.S. issuers because of unique political, economic and market conditions. Foreign markets, especially those in less developed economies, are generally more illiquid than U.S. markets, meaning that it could be harder for the Fund to dispose of a particular security than if it were traded on a U.S. exchange. Foreign securities markets may also have high transaction costs, limited legal recourse and unreliable or untimely information. The value of foreign securities may also be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates.

Foreign Currency Risk.   Investing in securities that trade and receive revenues in foreign currencies creates risk because foreign currencies may decline relative to the U.S. dollar, resulting in a potential loss to the Fund. When the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar value of an investment denominated in that currency will typically fall. A stronger U.S. dollar will reduce returns for U.S. investors while a weak U.S. dollar will increase those returns.

Emerging Markets Risk.   Investments in securities of issuers located in emerging market economies (including frontier market economies) are generally riskier than investments in securities of issuers from more developed economies. Emerging market economies generally have less developed and more volatile securities trading markets with untimely and unreliable information. Emerging market economies also generally have less developed legal and accounting systems and a greater likelihood of nationalization or confiscation of assets and companies than do developed economies. These same risks exist and may be greater in frontier markets.

Equity-Linked Investments Risk.   Equity-linked investments, such as participatory notes, are traded over-the-counter and are designed to replicate the performance of the underlying asset. Equity-linked investments allow the Fund to invest in equity securities located in foreign markets which the Fund may be unable or unwilling to invest in directly and may expose the Fund to the risks of the underlying or reference foreign security. In addition, the performance of equity-linked securities may not correlate to the performance of the underlying security due to transaction costs and other expenses. Equity-linked investments also expose the Fund to counterparty risk.

Depositary Receipts Risk.   Depositary receipts subject the Fund generally to the same risks as if it were investing in the underlying foreign securities directly, including political and economic risks that differ from investing in securities of U.S. issuers. In addition, because the underlying securities may be trading on a non-U.S. market, the value of the underlying security may decline, sometimes rapidly, at a time when U.S. markets are closed and AGFA may not be able to take appropriate actions to mitigate losses to the Fund.

Exchange-Traded Funds and Other Investment Companies Risk.   The risks of investing in ETFs and other investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the underlying ETF or other investment company invests. In addition, the Fund bears its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the underlying fund, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s operating expenses and performance and may affect the value of your investment.

Hedging Risk.   The Fund’s hedging strategies against declines in security prices, financial markets, exchange rates and interest rates may not be successful, and, even if they are successful, the Fund’s exposure to a certain risk may not be fully hedged at all times and the Fund may still lose money on a hedged position.

Liquidity Risk.   Liquidity risk exists when investments are difficult to purchase or sell. This can reduce the Fund’s returns because the Fund or an entity in which it invests may be unable to transact at advantageous times or prices. An illiquid investment is hard to value and may be sold at a price that is different from the price at which AGFA valued the investment for purposes of the Fund’s net asset value.

Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements Risk.   Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are subject to counterparty risk in that if a counterparty becomes insolvent, recovery of the repurchase price owed to the Fund or, in the case of a reverse repurchase agreement, the securities sold by the Fund, may be delayed. Reverse repurchase agreements may result in leverage to the Fund.

Credit Risk.   The value of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to be adversely affected if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates. The Fund’s investments in debt instruments are subject to counterparty risk and the risk that the issuer could be late in making principal and/or interest payments.

U.S. Government Securities Risk.   U.S. government securities may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government securities are subject to the risks associated with fixed-income and debt instruments, particularly interest rate risk and credit risk.

Large Shareholders Risk.   The Fund is subject to the risk that a large investor may purchase or redeem a large percentage of Fund shares at any time. As a result, the Fund’s performance or liquidity may be adversely affected because the Fund may have to sell investments at disadvantageous times or prices or hold cash when it would not otherwise do so to meet large redemption requests.

New Fund Risk.   The Fund is newly organized with limited operating history and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies.
