Risk/Return [Heading]	rr_RiskReturnHeading	PNC S&P 500 INDEX FUND
Objective [Heading]	rr_ObjectiveHeading	INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Objective, Primary [Text Block]	rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock	The Fund seeks to approximate, before Fund expenses, the investment results of the S&P 500® Index.
Expense [Heading]	rr_ExpenseHeading	FUND FEES AND EXPENSES
Expense Narrative [Text Block]	rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock	The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold Fund shares.
Shareholder Fees Caption [Text]	rr_ShareholderFeesCaption	Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)
Operating Expenses Caption [Text]	rr_OperatingExpensesCaption	Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
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 9% of the average value of its portfolio.
Portfolio Turnover, Rate	rr_PortfolioTurnoverRate	9.00%
Expense Example [Heading]	rr_ExpenseExampleHeading	Example
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]	rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock	This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Class I 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. 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 invests substantially all, but in no event less than 80%, of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes in stocks included in the S&P 500® Index. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' written notice before changing this 80% policy. The S&P 500® Index is made up of common stocks of 500 large, publicly traded companies. The vast majority of the Fund's assets will normally be invested in stocks included in the S&P 500® Index in approximately the same relative proportion as those stocks are held in the S&P 500® Index. The Fund does not, however, simply invest in a portfolio that replicates the precise composition of the S&P 500 Index, and PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") does not generally "manage" the Fund in the traditional sense (i.e., by using economic, financial or market analysis). The Adviser believes that employing certain active management strategies for a percentage of the Fund's assets, if successful, may result in net returns after expenses that may more closely approximate the returns of the S&P 500® Index. For example, the Adviser may invest in S&P 500® Index futures in addition to or in place of S&P 500® Index stocks to attempt to equal the performance of the S&P 500® Index. The Fund may also invest in other S&P 500® Index derivatives with economic characteristics similar to the common stocks in the S&P 500® Index. Under normal circumstances, the notional amount of investments in derivatives will not exceed 20% of the Fund's net assets. The Fund may use derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in an underlying asset, to increase returns, to manage risk/volatility or as part of a hedging strategy. Derivative instruments include, but are not limited to, options, swaps, futures and options on futures.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	PRINCIPAL RISKS
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments whose values depend upon, or are derived from, the value of a reference asset, such as one or more underlying assets, indexes or currencies and may include, but are not limited to, options, swaps, futures and options on futures. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the Fund's performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from the risks associated with investing directly in the reference asset. Derivatives can be volatile, illiquid and difficult to value, and an imperfect correlation may exist between changes in the value of a derivative held by the Fund and the value of the reference asset. Some derivatives are "leveraged" and therefore may magnify or otherwise increase investment losses to the Fund. The Fund's use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders. In addition, there is also the risk that a Fund may be unable to terminate or sell a derivatives position. There is also the risk that derivative counterparties may suffer financial difficulties and may not fulfill their contractual obligations to the Fund.    Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that securities prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the stock markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund's securities may fluctuate from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may decline in response. Tracking Error Risk. The S&P 500 Index Fund's ability to replicate the performance of the S&P 500® Index will depend to some extent on the size and timing of cash flows into and out of the Fund, composition of the S&P 500 Index, changes in the number of shares issued by the companies represented in the S&P 500 Index, the investment decisions made by the Adviser and on the level of the Fund's expenses. All investments are subject to inherent risks, and an investment in the Fund is no exception. Your investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Accordingly, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
