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. The Fund does not pay transaction costs when buying and selling shares of other mutual funds, however, the underlying funds pay transaction costs when buying and selling securities for their portfolio. 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 64.86% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expenses Not Correlated to Ratio Due to Acquired Fund Fees [Text]

rr_ExpensesNotCorrelatedToRatioDueToAcquiredFundFees

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are indirect fees and expenses that a Fund incurs from investing in the shares of other investment companies, including money market funds and other mutual funds, closed end funds, or business development companies. Please note that the amount of Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown in the above table will differ from the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets included in the "Financial Highlights" section of the Prospectus which reflects the operating expenses of the Funds and does not include indirect expenses such as Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, but includes the expense reductions generated when the Fund loaned its portfolio securities.

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.

Strategy [Heading]

rr_StrategyHeading

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund operates as a fund of funds, investing primarily in registered mutual funds, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The funds in which the Fund may invest are referred to herein as the “Underlying Funds.” The Advisor believes that investing in Underlying Funds provides the Fund with an efficient means of creating a portfolio that provides investors with indirect exposure to a broad range of securities. By investing in the Fund, you will indirectly bear fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the Fund’s direct fees and expenses. In order to obtain exposure to certain markets, asset classes or active management styles, the Fund may buy Underlying Funds managed by the Advisor or its affiliates, which, in turn, invest in various securities, including ETFs. The Fund may also invest directly in securities and other exchange-traded products, such as exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”).

The Advisor’s asset allocation decisions will be based on different factors and analytical approaches, derived from absolute return asset allocation approaches developed by various research providers and considered by the Advisor in constructing the Fund’s portfolio. The research providers’ absolute return asset allocation approaches typically utilize fundamental and quantitative analyses of global market and economic conditions and assumptions regarding risks and returns. The Advisor seeks to create a portfolio that is optimized to seek to achieve consistent absolute positive returns over time regardless of the market environment.

In pursuing the Fund’s objective, the Fund invests, either directly or indirectly via the Underlying Funds, in fixed income or equity-oriented investments across global markets, using varying active asset allocation strategies among different security types, asset classes, yield and duration, valuation analyses, and currency exposure considerations.

The Fund may utilize an absolute return asset allocation strategy that builds on a foundation of alternative investments, such as long/short equity funds that seek a modest positive return from equity investments that is insulated from general stock market volatility, combined with opportunistic equity and fixed income investments strategically selected to enhance returns from the base market neutral position. The Fund may invest in Underlying Funds that use alternative strategies and/or use derivatives for risk management purposes or as part of their investment strategies. An Underlying Fund may use derivatives to earn income and enhance returns, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Underlying Fund, to replace more traditional direct investments, or to obtain exposure to certain markets.

The Fund may also utilize absolute return asset allocation strategies that allocate assets to various fixed income instruments and sectors using various passive index-oriented ETFs focusing on instruments such as U.S. Government bonds and notes, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities and asset-backed securities, commodity-related securities, inflation-protected debt securities, corporate bonds of various quality levels and maturity/duration, and cash equivalent investments. Using this type of strategy, the Fund seeks to tactically avoid risk by reducing exposure at the appropriate times, while increasing exposure to attractive sectors on a timely basis.

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 Fund is subject to a number of risks either directly or indirectly through its investment in Underlying Funds. The following risks could affect the value of your investment in the Fund:

Fund of Funds Risk: The Fund is subject to fund of funds risk, which means that the ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective is directly related to the ability of the Underlying Funds to meet their investment objectives. There can be no assurance that either the Fund or the Underlying Funds will achieve their investment objectives.

Management Risk: An investment or allocation strategy used by the 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.

Exchange-Traded Funds Risk: An ETF may represent a portfolio of securities, or may use derivatives in pursuit of its stated objective. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities held by the ETF, although a lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in it being more volatile. ETFs have management fees and other expenses which the Fund will indirectly bear.

Alternative Strategies Risk: Certain Underlying Funds that use alternative investment strategies may be subject to risks including, but not limited to, derivatives risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and commodities risk. Certain alternative strategies involve the risk that a counterparty to a transaction will not perform as promised, which would result in losses to the Fund. Furthermore, alternative strategies may employ leverage, involve extensive short positions and/or focus on narrow segments of the market, which may magnify the overall risks and volatility associated with such investments.

Value Investment Risk: The Fund’s investments in value-oriented securities may be out of favor and potentially undervalued in the marketplace due to adverse business, industry or other developments. The Fund’s investments in value-oriented securities may not reach what the Fund’s Advisor believes are their full value.

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 and foreign securities 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.

Interest Rate Risk: The market value of fixed income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. For example, when interest rates rise, the market value of fixed income securities declines.

High-Yield Debt Securities Risk: High-yield debt securities or “junk bonds” are debt securities rated below investment grade by an NRSRO. Junk bonds are subject to greater credit risk than higher-grade securities and have a greater risk of default. Issuers of junk bonds are more likely to experience financial difficulties that may impair their ability to make principal and interest payments.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that the borrower will prepay some or all of the principal owed to the issuer. If that happens, the Fund may have to replace the security by investing the proceeds in a less attractive security.

Derivatives Risk: A derivative is an instrument with a value based on the performance of an underlying financial asset, index or other measure. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in more traditional investments. Derivatives may be volatile, difficult to value, and the Fund may not be able to close out or sell a derivative position at a particular time or at an anticipated price.

Credit Risk: Individual issues of fixed income securities may be subject to the credit risk of the issuer. This means that the issuer of a fixed income security, or in the case of a municipal security, the underlying municipality, may experience financial problems, causing it to be unable to meet its payment obligations.

U.S. Government Agency Obligations Risk: Government agency obligations have different levels of credit support and, therefore, different degrees of credit risk. Some securities issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, but others are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has the authority to provide financial support to these debt obligations, but no assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will do so.

Commodities Risk: The Fund’s investment in commodity-linked investments and other commodity/natural resource-related securities may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Commodity-linked investments may have a substantial risk of loss with respect to both principal and interest, and their returns may deviate significantly from the return of the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures. The ability of the Fund to invest in commodity-linked investments without exposing the Fund to entity-level tax is limited under the Internal Revenue Code.

Real Estate Risk: The value of real estate-linked derivative instruments and other real estate-related securities may be affected by risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, in addition to the risks of poor performance by a REIT’s manager, changes to tax laws, and failure by the REIT to qualify for favorable treatment. REITs may have limited diversification and may not exhibit the same (or any) correlation with inflation that real estate or other real estate securities exhibit.
