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 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. The Fund is newly-created and, as a result, does not yet have a portfolio turnover rate.
Other Expenses, New Fund, Based on Estimates [Text] rr_OtherExpensesNewFundBasedOnEstimates “Other expenses” have been estimated for the current fiscal year. Actual expenses may differ from estimates.
Expense Example [Heading] rr_ExpenseExampleHeading Example
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in 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. The example reflects the Fund’s contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement only for the term of the contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement.

 

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Under normal circumstances, the Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in debt securities of the U.S. Government and interest rate futures contracts related to debt securities (“Interest Rate Futures”). The Fund will invest in a core portfolio consisting of U.S. Treasury securities, generally with maturities of 7 to 10 years (the “Core Portfolio”). As the time to maturity of the securities shortens over time, the RichBrook Advisors, LP ("RichBrook" or the "Sub-Advisor") will from time to time sell securities from the Core Portfolio and replace them with similar but longer-date U.S. Treasury securities in order to maintain the average maturity in the 7-to-10-year range.

 

The Fund will be managed based on a proprietary quantitative model that consists of a combination of macroeconomic, valuation and technical factors. This model is managed and maintained by Duration Capital (the “Portfolio Strategist”) to predict the direction and extent of U.S. interest rate movements over an approximately 30-day period. Prices of fixed income securities generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s price to a change in interest rates. Based on the model’s output (i.e., its predicted interest rate moves), and at the direction of the Fund’s investment advisor, Embassy Asset Management LP (the "Advisor"), the Sub-Advisor will use Interest Rate Futures to increase or decrease the Fund’s duration to a target level of duration generated by the model. For example, if the model predicts higher interest rates over the next 30-day period, it will revise its target duration to a lower number, and the Fund will sell Interest Rate Futures on the appropriate futures exchange in order to decrease the Fund’s duration to a level that is in line with the new model target. The model may be changed without notice by the Portfolio Strategist. The Fund’s Advisor retains discretion over the final implementation of the Fund’s strategy, and the Fund’s adjusted duration may differ from the duration determined by the model’s output.

 

The Fund will employ limit orders on its positions in Interest Rate Futures to reduce downside volatility. A “limit order” is an order placed with a broker to buy or sell a prescribed number of bonds, contracts or shares at a specified price or better and is used to help control the Fund’s portfolio exposures and trading costs. The Advisor will establish limits at which the futures positions will be unwound. These limits will be implemented by the Sub-Advisor. If these limits are triggered, the Fund will exit the Interest Rate Futures positions. In such a case the Core Portfolio will not be affected. New Interest Rate Futures positions will then be established based on the model’s next output.

 

Because much of the trading within the Fund is in futures markets, the Fund will maintain an appropriate cash balance surplus to meet margin requirements. The cash portfolio will be invested on a short-term, highly liquid, basis so that the Fund may meet margin calls on the futures positions. These investments may include shorter term U.S. Government securities, short-term debt securities, money market instruments, cash and other cash equivalents.

 

The Fund may trade securities actively and this may lead to high portfolio turnover.

 

The Advisor or Sub-Advisor may sell all or a portion of a position of the Fund’s portfolio holdings when, in the Advisor’s opinion and in consultation with the Sub-Advisor, one or more of the following occurs, among other reasons: (1) the Fund’s portfolio requires rebalancing; (2) the Advisor or Sub-Advisor identifies a more attractive investment opportunity; or (3) the Fund requires cash to meet redemption requests.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks of Investing
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Risk is inherent in all investing and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund is not designed to be a complete investment program and the Fund is not suitable as a short-term investment. The Fund is intended for long-term investors. A summary description of certain principal risks of investing in the Fund is set forth below. Before you decide whether to invest in the Fund, carefully consider these risk factors associated with investing in the Fund, which may cause investors to lose money. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

 

•Fixed Income Securities Risk: The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to changes in an issuer’s credit rating or market perceptions about the creditworthiness of an issuer. Generally fixed income securities decrease in value if interest rates rise and increase in value if interest rates fall, and longer-term and lower rated securities are more volatile than shorter-term and higher rated securities.

 

•Derivatives Risk. Derivatives include instruments and contracts that are based on and valued in relation to one or more underlying securities, financial benchmarks, indices, or other reference obligations or measures of value. Using derivatives exposes the Fund to additional or heightened risks, including leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, and credit risk. Derivatives transactions can be highly illiquid and difficult to unwind or value, they can increase Fund volatility, and changes in the value of a derivative held by the Fund may not correlate with the value of the underlying instrument or the Fund's other investments. Many of the risks applicable to trading the instruments underlying derivatives are also applicable to derivatives trading. However, derivatives are subject to additional risks such as operational risk, including settlement issues, and legal risk, including that underlying documentation is incomplete or ambiguous. For derivatives that are required to be cleared by a regulated clearinghouse, other risks may arise from the Fund’s relationship with a brokerage firm through which it submits derivatives trades for clearing, including in some cases from other clearing customers of the brokerage firm.

 

•Futures Risk: The Fund’s use of exchange-traded futures contracts expose the Fund to leverage and tracking risks because a small investment in futures contracts may produce large losses and futures contracts may not be perfect substitutes for securities.

 

•Leveraging Risk: Certain Fund transactions, such as entering into futures contracts, may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage can magnify the effects of changes in the value of the Fund’s investments and make the Fund more volatile. Leverage creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the Fund would otherwise have had, potentially resulting in the loss of all assets. The Fund may also have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations in connection with such transactions.

 

•Interest Rate Risk: Generally fixed income securities decrease in value if interest rates rise and increase in value if interest rates fall, with longer-term securities being more sensitive than shorter-term securities. For example, the price of a security with a seven-year duration would be expected to drop by approximately 7% in response to a 1% increase in interest rates. Generally, the longer the maturity and duration of a bond or fixed rate loan, the more sensitive it is to this risk.  Falling interest rates also create the potential for a decline in the Fund’s income. Changes in governmental policy, rising inflation rates, and general economic developments, among other factors, could cause interest rates to increase and could have a substantial and immediate effect on the values of the Fund’s investments.  In addition, a potential rise in interest rates may result in periods of volatility and increased redemptions that might require the Fund to liquidate portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices and times. 

 

•Model Risk: Like all quantitative strategies, the Portfolio Strategist’s investment model carries a risk that the model used might be based on one or more incorrect assumptions. Rapidly changing and unforeseen market dynamics could also lead to a decrease in short term effectiveness of the Portfolio Strategist’s model. No assurance can be given that the Fund will be successful under all or any market conditions.

 

•Market Risk: The market price of a security or instrument may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular issuer, company, or asset class such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the world, changes in the general outlook for individual consumers and borrowers, credit markets and corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a security or instrument. The market value of a security or instrument also may decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry.

 

•Management and Strategy Risk: The value of your investment depends on the judgment of the Advisor about the quality, relative yield, value or market trends affecting a particular security, issuer, sector or region, which may prove to be incorrect.

 

•Portfolio Turnover Risk: Active and frequent trading of the Fund’s portfolio securities may lead to higher transaction costs and may result in a greater number of taxable transactions than would otherwise be the case, which could negatively affect the Fund’s performance. A high rate of portfolio turnover is 100% or more.

 

•COVID-19 Related Market Events: The pandemic of the novel coronavirus respiratory disease designated COVID-19 has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, a domestic and global economic downturn, severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of many instruments. There have also been significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of the pandemic. The pandemic may result in domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international trade relations, and continued volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, took extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results. Rates of inflation have also recently risen, which could adversely affect economies and markets. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the Fund by its service providers. Other market events like the COVID-19 pandemic may cause similar disruptions and effects.

 

•New Advisor Risk: The Advisor is a newly organized investment advisor and has a limited operating history and performance track record.

 

•No Operating History: The Fund is newly organized and has no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

 

•Cybersecurity Risk: Cybersecurity incidents may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund assets, customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or cause the Fund, the advisor, the Sub-Advisor, and/or other service providers (including custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or loss of operational functionality. In an extreme case, a shareholder’s ability to exchange or redeem Fund shares may be affected. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests are also subject to cybersecurity risks, and the value of those securities could decline if the issuers experience cybersecurity incidents.
