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 60.92% of the average value of its portfolio.
Portfolio Turnover, Rate rr_PortfolioTurnoverRate 60.92%
Expenses Not Correlated to Ratio Due to Acquired Fund Fees [Text] rr_ExpensesNotCorrelatedToRatioDueToAcquiredFundFees 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.
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 Service Shares of the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Service 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.
Expense Example by, Year, Caption [Text] rr_ExpenseExampleByYearCaption Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Expense Example, with Redemption, 1 Year rr_ExpenseExampleYear01 $ 155
Expense Example, with Redemption, 3 Years rr_ExpenseExampleYear03 480
Expense Example, with Redemption, 5 Years rr_ExpenseExampleYear05 829
Expense Example, with Redemption, 10 Years rr_ExpenseExampleYear10 $ 1,813
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.

Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk:   Small and medium capitalization companies often have narrower markets, fewer products or services to offer and more limited managerial and financial resources than do larger, more established companies. As a result, their performance can be more volatile, and they face a greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility and risk of loss of the Fund's assets.
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.
