Objective [Heading] rr_ObjectiveHeading Investment Objective
Objective, Primary [Text Block] rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock GuideMarkSM Large Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") seeks capital appreciation over
the long term.
Expense [Heading] rr_ExpenseHeading Fees and Expenses of the Fund
Expense Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy
and hold shares of the Fund:
Shareholder Fees Caption [Text] rr_ShareholderFeesCaption Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) None
Operating Expenses Caption [Text] rr_OperatingExpensesCaption Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Portfolio Turnover [Heading] rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading 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 126.61%
of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example [Heading] rr_ExpenseExampleHeading Example
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in
Institutional Shares of the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual
funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Institutional Shares of the Fund
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.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the
securities of large capitalization companies. The Fund considers "large
capitalization companies" to be companies, at the time of purchase, whose market
capitalizations are within the range of the market capitalizations in the
Russell 1000® Index.

The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of growth-oriented companies.
Growth-oriented companies generally have, among other factors, higher
price-to-book ratios, higher forecasted growth values, and lower dividend yields
relative to the broader market.

The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in American Depositary
Receipts ("ADRs") of foreign companies, including companies domiciled in
emerging markets. ADRs are typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust company and
evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation.
  
The sub-advisor selects stocks of companies that it believes have potential for
growth, in comparison to other companies in that particular company's industry
or the market, and in light of certain characteristics of the company. The
characteristics that the sub-advisor may consider in evaluating a company
include the company's business environment, market share, management, expansion
plans, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenue and other
measures of value.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of
significant market volatility. There is the risk that you could lose all or a
portion of the money you have invested in the Fund. The following risks could
affect the value of your investment in the Fund:

Management Risk: An investment or allocation strategy used by the Advisor or a
sub-advisor may fail to produce the intended results.

Market Risk: The value of the Fund's investments and the net asset values of the
shares of the Fund will fluctuate in response to various market and economic
factors related to the equity and fixed income markets as well as the financial
condition and prospects of companies in which the Fund invests.

Growth Investment Risk: The Fund's investments in growth-oriented securities may
be subject to greater price volatility and may be more sensitive to changes in
the issuer's current or expected earnings than other equity securities.

Foreign Securities Risk: The risks of investing in ADRs can increase the
potential for losses in the Fund and may include currency fluctuations,
political and economic instability, less government regulation, less publicly
available information, limited trading markets, differences in financial
reporting standards, fewer protections for passive investors and less stringent
regulation of securities markets.

Emerging Markets Risk: In addition to the risks generally associated with
investing in foreign securities described above, countries with emerging markets
may also have relatively unstable governments, fewer shareholder protections,
and more limited economies and securities markets.
Risk Lose Money [Text] rr_RiskLoseMoney There is the risk that you could lose all or a portion of the money you have invested in the Fund.
Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] rr_BarChartAndPerformanceTableHeading Performance
Performance Narrative [Text Block] rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock The bar chart and table that follow illustrate annual returns for Service Shares
(the class with the longest period of annual returns) of the Fund for periods
ended December 31. This information is intended to give you some indication of
the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance
from year to year and how the Fund's average annual returns over time compare
with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund's past performance
(before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will
perform in the future. Prior to April 1, 2011, the Fund used different investment
strategies. The performance set forth below is partially attributable to the
previous investment strategies and different sub-advisors.

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 your tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans and individual retirement accounts because such accounts are only subject to taxes upon withdrawal.
Performance Table Explanation after Tax Higher rr_PerformanceTableExplanationAfterTaxHigher In certain cases, the figure representing "Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

[1] Institutional Shares of the Fund commenced operations on April 29, 2011. The returns of Institutional Shares would have been substantially similar to the returns of Service Shares; however, because Service Shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee and an internal administrative fee, while Institutional Shares are not, the returns of Institutional Shares would have been higher than those shown for Service Shares.
[2] Please note the Fund expense ratio shown above differs from the expense ratio in the "Financial Highlights" section of the Prospectus, because the "Financial Highlights" shows expense ratio information that includes the expense reductions generated when the Fund loaned its portfolio securities.
