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 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock The Fund is a “fund of funds,” and invests its assets in other underlying mutual funds advised by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco and/or the Adviser). The Fund invests its assets in a selection of underlying funds which invest primarily in international or domestic equities, fixed-income securities or real estate investment trusts. The Fund’s target allocation is to invest 60%-70% of its total assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed-income securities and 30%-40% of its total assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities.

      In complying with their investment policies, certain underlying funds may also invest in synthetic securities that have economic characteristics similar to an underlying fund’s direct investments.

      In attempting to meet their investment objectives, certain underlying funds engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.

      The Adviser uses a three-step process to create the Fund’s portfolio including: (1) a strategic asset allocation by the Adviser among broad asset classes; (2) the actual selection by the Adviser of underlying funds to represent the broad asset classes and the determination by the Adviser of target weightings in these underlying funds; in the case where there are multiple funds in a broad asset class, the Adviser balances the amount of active risk contributed by each underlying fund in order to determine the allocation; and (3) the ongoing monitoring of the Fund’s asset class allocations, underlying funds and target weightings in the underlying funds.

      The Adviser rebalances the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds on an annual basis to keep them at their target weightings. Although the Adviser has the ability to rebalance on a more frequent basis if it believes it is appropriate to do so, the Fund’s asset class weightings may not match the above percentage weightings during a quarter due to market fluctuations, cash flows and other factors. The Adviser may change the Fund’s asset class allocations, the underlying funds or the target weightings in the underlying funds without shareholder approval. A list of the underlying funds and their target weightings is located in the Fund’s SAI.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risk of investing in the Fund is that the Fund’s performance depends on the performance of the multiple underlying funds in which it invests, and it is subject to the risks of the underlying funds. The underlying funds may change their investment objectives, policies or practices and may not achieve their investment objectives, which may cause the Fund to withdraw its investments therein at a disadvantageous time. The principal risks of investing in the underlying funds, and therefore the Fund, are:

      Active Trading Risk. Certain underlying funds engage in frequent trading of portfolio securities. Active trading results in added expenses and may result in a lower return and increased tax liability.

      Call Risk. If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of debt securities with high interest rates will prepay or call their securities before their maturity dates. In this event, the proceeds from the called securities would likely be reinvested by an underlying fund in securities bearing the new, lower interest rates, resulting in a possible decline in an underlying fund’s income and distributions to shareholders.

       Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk. In addition to the normal interest rate, default and other risk of fixed income securities, collateralized loan obligations carry additional risks, including the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default, an underlying fund may invest in collateralized loan obligations that are subordinate to other classes, values may be volatile, and disputes with the issuer may produce unexpected investment results.

      Concentration Risk. To the extent an underlying fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, an underlying fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to an underlying fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.

      Convertible Securities Risk. An underlying fund may own convertible securities, the value of which may be affected by market interest rates, the risk that the issuer will default, the value of the underlying stock or the right of the issuer to buy back the convertible securities.

      Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that the other party to the contract will not fulfill its contractual obligations, which may cause losses or additional costs to an underlying fund.

      Credit Linked Notes Risk. Risks of credit linked notes include those risks associated with the underlying reference obligation including but not limited to market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, default risk and foreign currency risk. In the case of a credit linked note created with credit default swaps, the structure will be “funded” such that the par amount of the security will represent the maximum loss that could be incurred on the investment and no leverage is introduced. An investor in a credit linked note bears counterparty risk or the risk that the issuer of the credit linked note will default or become bankrupt and not make timely payment of principal and interest of the structured security.

      Credit Risk. The issuer of instruments in which an underlying fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.

      Currency/Exchange Rate Risk. The dollar value of an underlying fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded.

      Debt Securities Risk. An underlying fund may invest in debt securities that are affected by changing interest rates and changes in their effective maturities and credit quality.

      Defaulted Securities Risk. Defaulted securities involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. Defaulted securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale.

      Derivatives Risk. The performance of derivative instruments is tied to the performance of an underlying currency, security, index or other instrument. In addition to risks relating to their underlying instruments, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks. Derivatives involve costs, may be volatile, and may involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed. Risks associated with the use of derivatives include counterparty, leverage, correlation, liquidity, tax, market, interest rate and management risks. Derivatives may also be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other investments. An underlying fund may lose more than the cash amount invested on investments in derivatives. Investors should bear in mind that, while an underlying fund intends to use derivative strategies, it is not obligated to actively engage in these transactions, generally or in any particular kind of derivative, if the investment manager elects not to do so due to availability, cost, market conditions or other factors.

      Developing/Emerging Markets Securities Risk. Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing/emerging countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed countries.

      Dollar Roll Transactions Risk. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value and yield of the securities retained by the underlying fund may decline below the price of the mortgage-related securities sold by the underlying fund that it is obligated to repurchase.

      Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. An investment by the Fund or underlying fund in exchange-traded funds generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a mutual fund. In addition, an exchange-traded fund may be subject to the following: (1) a discount of the exchange-traded fund’s shares to its net asset value; (2) failure to develop an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares; (3) the listing exchange halting trading of the exchange-traded fund’s shares; (4) failure of the exchange-traded fund’s shares to track the referenced index; and (5) holding troubled securities in the referenced index. Exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund or underlying fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain of the exchange-traded funds in which the Fund or underlying fund may invest are leveraged. The more the Fund or underlying fund invests in such leveraged exchange-traded funds, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments.

      Financial Institutions Risk. Investments in financial institutions may be subject to certain risks, including, but not limited to, the risk of regulatory actions, changes in interest rates and concentration of loan portfolios in an industry or sector. Financial institutions are highly regulated and may suffer setbacks should regulatory rules and interpretations under which they operate change. Likewise, there is a high level of competition among financial institutions which could adversely affect the viability of an institution.

      Floating Rate Risk. Some of the underlying funds may invest in senior secured floating rate loans and debt securities that require collateral. There is a risk that the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to cover the amount owed, collateral securing a loan may be found invalid, and collateral may be used to pay other outstanding obligations of the borrower under applicable law or may be difficult to sell. There is also the risk that the collateral may be difficult to liquidate, or that a majority of the collateral may be illiquid.

      Foreign Securities Risk. An underlying fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country’s exchange rates, political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulties when enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity, and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.

      Fund of Funds Risk. The Fund’s performance depends on the underlying funds in which it invests, and it is subject to the risks of the underlying funds. Market fluctuations may change the target weightings in the underlying funds. The underlying funds may change their investment objectives, policies or practices and may not achieve their investment objectives, all of which may cause the Fund to withdraw its investments therein at a disadvantageous time.

      High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.

      Income Risk. The income you receive from an underlying fund is based primarily on prevailing interest rates, which can vary widely over the short- and long-term. If interest rates drop, your income from an underlying fund may drop as well.

      Industry Focus Risk. To the extent an underlying fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by companies in the banking and financial services industries, the underlying fund’s performance will depend on the overall condition of those industries, which may be affected by the following factors: the supply of short-term financing, changes in government regulation and interest rates, and overall economy.

      Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.

      Large Investor Risk. An underlying fund may accept investments from funds of funds, as well as from similar investment vehicles, such as 529 Plans. From time to time, an underlying fund may experience large investments or redemptions due to allocations or rebalancings by these funds of funds and/or similar investment vehicles. While it is impossible to predict the overall impact of these transactions over time, there could be adverse effects on portfolio management. For example, an underlying fund may be required to sell securities or invest cash at times when it would not otherwise do so. These transactions could also have tax consequences if sales of securities result in gains, and could also increase transaction costs or portfolio turnover.

      Leverage Risk. Leverage exists when an underlying fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction and the underlying fund could lose more than it invested. Leverage created from borrowing or certain types of transactions or instruments may impair an underlying fund’s liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at an unfavorable time, increase volatility or otherwise not achieve its intended objective.

      Liquidity Risk. An underlying fund may hold illiquid securities that it may be unable to sell at the preferred time or price and could lose its entire investment in such securities.

      Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s and the underlying funds’ portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

      Market Risk. The prices of and the income generated by the underlying funds’ securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

      Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Certain of the underlying funds may invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities that are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that the borrower’s payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. Faster prepayments often happen when interest rates are falling. As a result, an underlying fund may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing an underlying fund’s income. Conversely, when interest rates rise, prepayments may happen more slowly, causing the security to lengthen in duration. Longer duration securities tend to be more volatile. Securities may be prepaid at a price less than the original purchase value. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and could result in losses to an underlying fund. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages. Subprime mortgages refer to loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with lower capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages.

      Non-Correlation Risk. The return of an underlying fund’s preferred equity segment may not match the return of the Index for a number of reasons. For example, an underlying fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing securities holdings to reflect changes in the Index. In addition, the performance of the preferred equity segment and the Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the preferred equity segment and the Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs or liquidity constraints.

       Non-Diversification Risk. Certain of the underlying funds are non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of their assets in a single issuer. A change in the value of the issuer could affect the value of an underlying fund more than if it was a diversified fund.

      Preferred Securities Risk. Preferred securities may include provisions that permit the issuer, in its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a certain period of time. If an underlying fund owns a security that is deferring or omitting its distributions, an underlying fund may be required to report the distribution on its tax returns, even though it may not have received this income. Further, preferred securities may lose substantial value due to the omission or deferment of dividend payments.

      Prepayment Risk. An issuer’s ability to prepay principal on a loan or debt security prior to maturity can limit an underlying fund’s potential gains. Prepayments may require the underlying fund to replace the loan or debt security with a lower yielding security, adversely affecting an underlying fund’s yield.

      Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that a bond’s cash flows (coupon income and principal repayment) will be reinvested at an interest rate below that on the original bond.

      REIT Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to an underlying fund’s holdings. Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small and mid cap companies, and their shares may be more volatile and less liquid. The value of investments in real estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management, the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults, an underlying fund may own real estate directly, which involves the following additional risks: environmental liabilities, difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate, and economic or regulatory changes.

      Sector Fund Risk. Certain of the underlying fund’s investments are concentrated in a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, which may make the underlying fund more volatile than non-concentrated underlying funds.

      Short Sales Risk. Short sales may cause an underlying fund to repurchase a security at a higher price, causing a loss. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, an underlying fund’s exposure is unlimited.

      Small- and Mid-Capitalization Risks. Stocks of small and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.

      Synthetic Securities Risk. Fluctuations in the values of synthetic securities may not correlate perfectly with the instruments they are designed to replicate. Synthetic securities may be subject to interest rate changes, market price fluctuations, counterparty risk and liquidity risk.

      Tax Risk. If the U.S. Treasury Department were to exercise its authority to issue regulations that exclude from the definition of “qualifying income” foreign currency gains not directly related to the underlying fund’s business of investing in securities, the underlying fund may be unable to qualify as a regulated investment company for one or more years. In this event, the underlying fund’s Board may authorize a significant change in investment strategy or underlying fund liquidation.

      U.S. Government Obligations Risk. An underlying fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect an underlying fund’s ability to recover should they default.

      Utilities Sector Risk. The following factors may affect an underlying fund’s investments in the utilities sector: governmental regulation, economic factors, ability of the issuer to obtain financing, prices of natural resources and risks associated with nuclear power.

      Value Investing Style Risk. Certain of the underlying funds emphasize a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Value stocks also may decline in price, even though in theory they are already underpriced.
Risk Lose Money [Text] rr_RiskLoseMoney As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing.
Risk Nondiversified Status [Text] rr_RiskNondiversifiedStatus       Non-Diversification Risk. Certain of the underlying funds are non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of their assets in a single issuer. A change in the value of the issuer could affect the value of an underlying fund more than if it was a diversified fund.
