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 Total 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 5% of the average value of the portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies.
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives of positive absolute return and long-term capital appreciation through exposure to global trading programs by investing in derivative instruments, equity and fixed income securities, and other instruments to establish long and short investment exposures around the world using the following principal strategies:

 

• Multi-Asset, Long/Short Global Macro Strategy: The Fund pursues its multi-asset, long/short global macro strategy (the “Global Macro Strategy”) by investing globally across a wide range of asset classes, including equities, fixed income, currencies and commodities, utilizing a portfolio of futures, forwards, options, spot contracts and swaps (collectively “Futures Interest Contracts”), including, but not limited to, global developed and emerging market equity index futures, swaps on equity index futures, equity swaps and options on equity indices, global developed and emerging market currency forwards, commodity futures and swaps, global developed fixed income futures, and bond and interest rate futures and swaps. As a part of the Macro Strategy, the Fund may also invest in individual equity securities, specifically common stocks. The Global Macro Strategy has the flexibility to shift its allocation across these asset classes and markets around the world, based on their relative attractiveness. Furthermore, the Global Macro Strategy seeks to take advantage of market trends that are derived from various macroeconomic and non-macroeconomic factors. The Fund may, directly or indirectly as described below, enter into both long and short positions in Futures Interest Contracts and long and short only positions in common stocks. The Sub-Adviser will apply its trading strategies to a spectrum of markets, asset classes (including equities, bonds, currencies, commodities) and financial instruments (such as Futures Interest Contracts, other funds and cash). The investment decisions are based on market movement and market trends that result from various factors including changes in interest rates, inflation, economic cycles and political circumstances. Once a market trend has been identified, the Sub-Adviser will establish its positions. The Fund may invest in multiple countries and frequently has significant exposure to foreign currencies and investments. Although the Fund typically will invest up to 30% of its assets in foreign markets, the Fund reserves the right to invest in foreign markets without limitation. The Fund may gain exposure to Futures Interest Contracts by investing in the instrument directly or indirectly by investing in a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary, MHB Fund Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (the “Subsidiary”) managed by the Fund’s sub-adviser, Chesapeake Capital Corporation (“Chesapeake”), that invests in those instruments. The Fund, directly or indirectly through the Subsidiary, may also gain exposure to Futures Interest Contracts through investments in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds or by allocating assets to commodity pools (each an “Underlying Pool. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in other investment companies.

 

•Short to Medium-Term Fixed Income Strategy: For the short-to medium term fixed income strategy (“Fixed Income Strategy”), decisions are driven by liquidity, rating and time to maturity. This portion of the portfolio is constructed in order to mitigate interest rate and credit risk while optimizing income, and will involve investment in securities including but not limited to: cash, cash equivalents, and upper medium investment grade to prime investment grade, short-term debt securities and money market instruments.

 

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest a portion of its assets (either directly or through Underlying Pools) in foreign investments unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the Adviser in which case the Fund may not hold any non-U.S. investments. The Fund may also invest in companies of emerging market countries. The Fund may invest in securities denominated in U.S. Dollars and the currencies of the foreign countries in which it is permitted to invest. The Fund typically has full currency exposure to those markets in which it invests. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities of any market capitalization.

 

The Fund may execute its Global Macro Strategy by investing up to 25% of its total assets in a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary will invest the majority of its assets in Futures Interest Contracts, Underlying Pool(s) or other instruments. To the extent they are applicable to the investment activities of the Subsidiary, the Subsidiary will be subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations, and follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund.

 

The Fund may also pursue its Global Macro Strategy by investing a portion of its assets directly in certain financial-related derivatives and equities. The Fund anticipates that it will generally invest between 10-90% of its assets (whether directly or through the Subsidiary) pursuant to the Global Macro Strategy. The Fund anticipates that it will generally invest between 10-30% of its assets pursuant to the Fixed Income Strategy, although it reserves the right to invest up to 100% of its assets pursuant to the Fixed Income Strategy.
Strategy Portfolio Concentration [Text] rr_StrategyPortfolioConcentration Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest a portion of its assets (either directly or through Underlying Pools) in foreign investments unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the Adviser in which case the Fund may not hold any non-U.S. investments.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading

Principal Risks.
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Remember that in addition to possibly not achieving your investment goals, you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

 

• Absolute Return Strategy Risk: The Fund employs an “absolute return” investment approach, and seeking to achieve returns that are largely independent of broad movements in stocks and bonds. Unlike equity funds, the Fund should not be expected to benefit from general equity market returns. Different from fixed income funds, the Fund may not generate current income and should not be expected to experience price appreciation as interest rates decline.

 

• Foreign and Emerging Market Investment Risk: Because the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in foreign instruments, the value of Fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates and political, economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country. In emerging or less developed countries, these risks can be more significant. Investment markets in emerging market countries are typically substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in developed countries. As a result, Fund share values may be more volatile than if the Fund invested only in developed markets. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments and economies. Emerging market investments often are subject to speculative trading, which typically contributes to volatility. Trading in foreign and emerging markets typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. The foregoing risks may be greater in frontier markets. The value of investments denominated in foreign currencies can be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

• Commodities Risk: Investing in the commodities markets (directly or indirectly) may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Commodity prices may be influenced by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geologic and environmental factors as well as changes in government regulation such as tariffs, embargoes or burdensome production rules and restrictions.

 

• Credit Risk: There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the Fund may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes.

 

• Cyber Security Risk. As the use of technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Fund has become more susceptible to operational, financial and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or technological malfunctions. Successful cyber-attacks and/or technological malfunctions affecting the Fund or its service providers can result in, among other things, financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders, the inability to process transactions with shareholders or other parties and the release of private shareholder information or confidential Fund information. While measures have been developed which are designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security, there are inherent limitations in such measures and there is no guarantee those measures will be effective, particularly since the Fund does not directly control the cyber security measures of its service providers, financial intermediaries and companies in which it invests or with which it does business.

 

• Derivatives Risk: The Fund may use derivatives (including options, futures and options on futures) to enhance returns or hedge against market declines. The Fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index.

 

• Geographic Risk: Because the Fund may invest significantly in a particular geographic region or country, the value of Fund shares may be affected by events that adversely affect that region or country and may fluctuate more than that of a fund that has less exposure to such region or country.

 

• Equity Investing Risk: The Fund’s shares may be sensitive to stock market volatility. The value of equity investments and related instruments may decline in response to conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations, as well as issuer or sector specific events.

 

• Fixed Income Securities Risk: Fixed income securities are subject to the risk that securities could lose value because of interest rate changes. Fixed income securities with longer maturities are subject to greater price shifts as a result of interest rate changes than fixed income securities with shorter maturities. Fixed income securities are also subject to prepayment and credit risks.

 

• Interest Rate Risk: The risks associated with the Fund include interest rate risk, which means that the prices of the Fund’s investments are likely to fall if interest rates rise.

 

• Active Trading Risk: A higher portfolio turnover due to active and frequent trading will result in higher transactional and brokerage costs. Active trading of securities may also increase the Fund’s realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay as a Fund shareholder.

 

• Foreign Currency Risk: Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates in the currencies in which the Fund is long or short. Credit risk results because a currency trade counterparty may default. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

 

• General Market Risk: The risk that the value of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the Fund’s investments and other factors affecting the commodities and/or securities markets generally.

 

• Issuer-Specific Risk: The value of a specific security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than those of larger issuers. The value of certain types of securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

 

• Leverage Risk: Using derivatives to increase the Fund’s combined long and short exposure creates leverage, which can magnify the Fund’s potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price.

 

• Other Investment Companies Risk: The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds and other investment companies, such as mutual funds. The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Because the Fund may invest in other investment companies, you will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of that other investment company (including management fees, administration fees and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Fund.

 

• Limited History of Operations: The Fund has a limited history of operation. In addition, the Adviser has limited experience managing a mutual fund.

 

• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations.

 

• Management Risk: The risk that investment strategies employed by the Adviser in selecting investments and asset allocations for the Fund may not result in an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to other similar investment vehicles having similar investment strategies.

 

• Market Risk: Overall securities and derivatives market risks may affect the value of individual instruments in which the Fund invests. Factors such as domestic and foreign economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the securities and derivatives markets. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.

 

• Regulatory Change Risk: The Adviser has, on behalf of the Fund, filed a notice with the NFA claiming an exemption from certain of the CFTC’s reporting and disclosure requirements in accordance with Part 4 of the CFTC regulations. If, in the future, the Adviser determines that it is not eligible for this exemption or other relief from CFTC regulation, the Fund will be required to comply with CFTC regulations regarding disclosure and reporting. Compliance with such requirements will likely increase the costs associated with an investment in the Fund.

 

• Short Position Risk: While the Fund reserves the right to engage in short sale transactions directly, generally, exposure to most short positions will be through Underlying Pools. As a result, the Underlying Pools (and indirectly the Fund) will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which an offsetting position is purchased. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the underlying portfolio manager’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security or instrument. The Underlying Pools’ losses are potentially unlimited in a short position transaction.

 

• Strategy Risk: The risk that investment strategies employed by the Adviser in selecting investments and asset allocations for the Fund may not result in an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to other investments.

 

• Tax Risk: Certain of the Fund’s investment strategies, including transactions in options, futures contracts, hedging transactions, forward contracts and swap contracts, may be subject to the special tax rules, the effect of which may have adverse tax consequences for the Fund. Also, by investing in commodities indirectly through the Subsidiary, the Fund will obtain exposure to the commodities markets within the U.S. federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. However, because the Subsidiary is a controlled foreign corporation, any income received from its investments will be passed through to the Fund as ordinary income, which may be taxed at less favorable rates than capital gains. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has issued a number of private letter rulings to other mutual funds (unrelated to the Fund), which indicate that certain income from a fund’s investment in a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary will constitute “qualifying income” for purposes of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, the IRS has suspended issuance of any further letters pending a review of its position. If the IRS were to change its position with respect to the conclusions reached in its private letter rulings (which change in position might be applied to the Fund retroactively), the income from the Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary might not be qualifying income, and the Fund might not qualify as a regulated investment company for one or more years.

 

• Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Risk: The Subsidiary will not be registered under the 1940 Act and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, will not be subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. The Adviser has, on behalf of the Subsidiary, filed a notice with the National Futures Association (“NFA”) claiming exemption from the CFTC’s reporting requirements in accordance with Part 4 of the CFTC Regulations pursuant to no-action relief for certain subsidiaries of registered investment companies. Under this no-action letter guidance, the CFTC regulations provide relief relating to CFTC reporting requirements for commodity pools, such as the Subsidiary, that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of registered investment companies (such as the Fund). The Adviser also claims exemption from the CFTC’s disclosure and reporting requirements in accordance with Part 4 of the CFTC regulations, which provide relief relating to CFTC disclosure and reporting requirements for commodity pools, such as the Subsidiary, that are operated by a CPO that is the same as, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the CPO of an offered pool (such as the Fund). Changes in the laws or regulations of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or Subsidiary to operate as described in this Prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. Your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher because you indirectly bear the expenses of the Subsidiary.

The Fund, by investing in the Subsidiary, will not have all of the protections offered to investors in registered investment companies. However, the Fund wholly owns and controls the Subsidiary. The investments of the Fund and Subsidiary are both managed by the Adviser, making it unlikely that the Subsidiary will take action contrary to the interests of the Fund or its shareholders. The Board of Trustees has oversight responsibility for the investment activities of the Fund, including its investment in the Subsidiary, and the Fund’s role as the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary.

 

Although only 25% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in the Subsidiary, that portion of the Fund’s assets may be highly leveraged, which can magnify the Fund’s potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price.

[4] Pursuant to an operating expense limitation agreement between Monte Capital Group, LLC (the "Adviser") and the Fund, the Adviser has agreed to waive its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the Fund (excluding any front-end or contingent deferred loads, brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), taxes and extraordinary expenses such as litigation) for the Fund do not exceed 2.15%, 2.90%, and 1.90%, of the Fund’s average net assets, for Class A, Class C, and Class I shares, respectively, through March 31, 2018. This operating expense limitation agreement can be terminated only by, or with the consent of, the Board of Trustees. The Adviser is permitted to receive reimbursement of any excess expense payments paid by it pursuant to the operating expense limitation agreement in future years on a rolling three year basis, as long as the reimbursement does not cause the Fund’s annual operating expenses to exceed the expense cap.
[5] The Fund commenced operations on December 16, 2011.
