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 34% of the average value of its portfolio.

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 except that the Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement is reflected only in the one year period below. 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

The Fund primarily invests in a portfolio of equity securities that is tied economically to a number of countries throughout the world, typically three or more. The Fund will limit investments in securities of issuers in countries with developing markets (European, Asian and Australian countries not represented in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index ("MSCI EAFE Index")) or economies to no more than 25% of the Fund's total assets, and will not invest more than 10% of its total assets in any single such country. More than 25% of the Fund's assets may be invested in the equity securities of issuers located in the same country.


Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' written notice before changing this 80% policy. The Fund may invest in companies of any capitalization.


The Fund's investments in equity securities may include common stocks, American Depositary Receipts or other U.S. listings of foreign common stocks, and exchange traded funds, closed-end funds or stock index futures whose underlying value is derived from common stocks in foreign markets.


The Fund may use exchange traded funds, closed-end funds and derivative instruments, to gain broad exposure to markets and/or a particular index. Derivative instruments include, but are not limited to, options, swaps, forward currency contracts, futures and options on futures. Although the Fund may invest in derivatives of any kind, it expects to use futures contracts, forward currency contracts and options on futures contracts for the purpose of managing exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates or currency values. The Fund may also use futures to gain diversified exposure to a specific country or region. These instruments are not used for the purpose of introducing leverage in the Fund, though they may have that result. The Fund may use derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in an underlying asset, to increase returns, to manage risk, or as part of a hedging strategy.


PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") has delegated to Polaris Capital Management, LLC ("Polaris" or the "Sub-Adviser") and GE Asset Management Incorporated ("GEAM" or the "Sub-Adviser") the responsibility for providing portfolio management services to a portion of the Fund's assets. The Adviser has allocated the Fund's assets among a growth strategy ("International Growth Component"), value strategy ("International Value Component") and a core strategy ("International Core Component"). The International Core Component focuses on companies that GEAM believes are not fairly valued and whose price-to-cash earnings ratios are low relative to calculated long-term growth rates. The Adviser manages the International Growth Component. Polaris and GEAM furnish investment advisory services to the International Value Component and International Core Component, respectively. The Adviser monitors the performance of Polaris and GEAM and, at any point, the Adviser could change the allocation of the Fund's assets between itself, Polaris and GEAM on a basis determined by the Adviser to be in the best interest of shareholders. This means that the portion of the assets managed by the Adviser could be significantly larger than that managed by Polaris and GEAM or vice versa and that the difference between such proportions could change from time to time. The Fund also utilizes an active trading approach.


Effective October 31, 2013, GEAM will no longer serve as sub-adviser to a portion of the assets of the Fund; however, the Adviser may reduce or eliminate the percentage of the Fund's assets allocated to GEAM for management at any time. Fund assets formerly allocated to the International Core Component will be reallocated to the International Growth Component and/or the International Value Component to be managed by the Adviser and Polaris, respectively.

Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading PRINCIPAL RISKS
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Active Trading Risk. To the extent that the Fund buys and sells securities actively, it could have higher expenses (which reduce return for shareholders) and higher taxable distributions.


Capitalization Risk. Small capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. Therefore, small cap stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies and may have less liquidity, which can reduce their selling prices. Mid capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. As a result, the values of mid cap company stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies.


Country Risk. Investment in a particular country of 25% or more of the Fund's total assets will make the Fund's performance more dependent upon the political and economic circumstances of that country than a mutual fund more widely diversified among issuers in different countries.


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, forward currency contracts, 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 magnify or otherwise increase investment losses to the Fund, as even a small investment in derivatives can have a significant impact on the Fund's exposure to, among other things, securities' market values, interest rates or currency exchange rates. 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. Derivatives are also subject to operations risk, which is the risk that loss will occur as a result of inadequate systems and controls, human error, or otherwise.


Emerging Markets Risk. The risk of investing in issuers located in or tied economically to emerging markets includes all of the risks of investing in foreign markets, generally to a greater extent, including greater fluctuations in market values and currency exchange rates; increased risk of default; greater social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability; increased risk of nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation of assets of issuers to which the Fund may be exposed; greater governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and participants in those markets; controls on non-U.S. investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, dividends, interest and other income and on the Fund's ability to exchange local currencies for U.S. dollars; lower levels of liquidity; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle security or derivative transactions; greater risk of issues with share registration and safe custody; unavailability of currency hedging techniques; differences in, or lack of, auditing and financial reporting standards and resulting unavailability of material information about issuers; slower clearance and settlement; and difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments.


Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk. Investments in securities of foreign companies or governments can be more volatile than investments in U.S. companies or governments. Diplomatic, political, or economic developments, including nationalization or expropriation, could affect investments in foreign countries. Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity than U.S. markets. In addition, the values of securities denominated in foreign currencies, and of dividends from such securities, can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign companies or governments generally are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic U.S. companies or governments. Transaction costs are generally higher than those in the U.S. and expenses for custodial arrangements of foreign securities may be somewhat greater than typical expenses for custodial arrangements of similar U.S. securities.


Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks are generally more sensitive to market movements than other types of stocks primarily because their stock prices are based heavily on future expectations. If the Adviser's or Sub-Adviser's assessment of the prospects for a company's growth is wrong, or if the Adviser's or Sub-Adviser's judgment of how other investors will value the company's growth is wrong, then the price of the company's stock may fall or not approach the value that the Adviser or Sub-Adviser has placed on it. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of the issuer's bonds and preferred stock generally take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.


Investment Company Risk. The Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies, including ETFs. To the extent that the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF, investors bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF. ETFs and closed-end investment companies may trade at a price below their net asset value.


Issuer Risk. The value of the Fund's investments may decline for a number of reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services, in addition to the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets.


Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk because it is actively managed. The Adviser will apply investment techniques and risk analysis in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired outcome. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to the Adviser in managing the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.


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.


Value Investing Risk. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and from other types of stocks. Value stocks also present the risk that their lower valuations fairly reflect their business prospects and that investors will not agree that the stocks represent favorable investment opportunities, and they may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during any given period. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of the issuer's bonds and preferred stock generally take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.


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.

[1] "Other Expenses" include indirect fees and expenses of Acquired Funds less than 0.01% but greater than 0.005%. "Acquired Fund" means any investment company in which the Fund invests or has invested during the period. The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses will not correlate to the Fund's ratio of expenses to average net assets in the Fund's Financial Highlights due to the Acquired Fund fees and expenses.
[2] The Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to waive Management Fees and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses for the Fund to the extent the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses exceed 0.98% excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, brokerage commissions, dealer and underwriter spreads, commitment fees on leverage facilities, prime broker fees and expenses, interest expense and dividend expenses related to short sales. This contract continues through September 30, 2014, at which time the Adviser will determine whether to renew, revise or discontinue it. The Adviser can be reimbursed by the Fund for any contractual fee reductions or expense reimbursements if reimbursement to the Adviser (a) occurs within the three years following the year in which the Fund accrues a liability or recognizes a contingent liability with respect to such amounts paid, waived or reimbursed by the Adviser and (b) does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of a class to exceed the percentage limit that was in effect at the time the Adviser paid, waived or reimbursed the amount being repaid by the Fund.
