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 35% 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:

Expense Example, with Redemption, 1 Year rr_ExpenseExampleYear01 $ 54

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund invests in a variety of municipal debt securities issued by or on behalf of states, territories, possessions of the United States, the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, and each of their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. In selecting securities for the Fund to buy and sell, PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") considers each security's yield and total return potential relative to other available municipal securities. The Fund normally will maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of between three and ten years, but may vary outside that range from time to time, including due to market conditions or if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes.


As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes in U.S. dollar-denominated securities (bonds) that generate income exempt from federal income tax (including the federal alternative minimum tax). A vote of the Fund's shareholders is necessary to change the Fund's fundamental policy. Fund dividends may be taxable for state and local income tax purposes. Also, some Fund distributions may be taxable for federal income tax purposes, such as those derived from taxable investments and distributions of short and long-term capital gains realized on the sale of portfolio securities.


The Fund primarily invests in investment grade securities. Investment grade municipal securities are those rated in one of the four highest rating categories as determined by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO"), or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. If a security is downgraded, the Adviser will reevaluate whether continuing to hold the security is in the best interest of shareholders.

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

Credit/Counterparty Risk. The values of debt securities or other instruments may be affected by the ability of issuers or the respective counterparties to make principal and interest payments or otherwise meet their obligations to the Fund. If an issuer cannot or will not meet its payment obligations or if its credit rating is lowered or its financial strength deteriorates, the values of its debt securities or other instruments may fall. Obligations issued by U.S. government agencies, authorities, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises, such as the Government National Mortgage Association, are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, while obligations issued by others, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal Home Loan Banks, are backed solely by the ability of the entity to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the entity's own resources. Counterparty risk may be a greater risk for swaps and other over-the-counter derivatives than it is for exchange-traded derivatives.


Interest Rate Risk. The value of a debt security typically changes in the opposite direction from a change in interest rates. When interest rates go up, the value of a debt security typically goes down. When interest rates go down, the value of a debt security typically goes up. Generally, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security (or a portfolio of such securities), the more the value of that security (or portfolio of securities) will change as a result of changes in interest rates.


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.


Municipal Securities Risk. An investment in municipal obligations is subject to municipal securities risk. Changes in the local or national economy, and business or political conditions relating to a particular municipal project, municipality, or state in which the Fund invests may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments when due and thus could decrease the value of the Fund's investments in municipal bonds. Municipal obligations also may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress, which could have an adverse effect on the market prices of bonds and thus the value of the Fund's investments. The municipal securities held by a Fund may fail to meet certain legal requirements which allow interest distributed from such securities to be tax-exempt, or changes in federal or state tax laws may cause the prices of municipal securities to fall or could affect the tax-exempt status of municipal securities. Municipal securities are also subject to liquidity risk.


Prepayment/Extension Risk. Certain debt obligations, such as callable bonds, may be prepaid prior to their maturity dates. Additionally, the loans collateralizing certain mortgage- and asset-backed securities may be prepaid, affecting the value of the mortgage or asset-backed securities to which they relate. The level of interest rates and other factors affect the frequency of such prepayments. In periods of rising interest rates, prepayment rates tend to decrease, which lengthens the average life of callable bonds or mortgage- and asset-backed securities. The market values of securities with longer average lives (longer maturities) tend to be subject to greater interest rate risk and their values are more volatile as a result. In periods of falling interest rates, prepayment rates tend to increase, shortening the average life of a pool of mortgage-backed securities. This leads to the risk that the Fund may lose any potential price appreciation above the bond's call price and have to reinvest the proceeds from prepayments at lower interest rates.


Tax Risk. Distributions of capital gains and other taxable income will be subject to applicable federal, state and local income taxes. Interest on certain municipal securities that are exempt from federal income tax may, nonetheless, be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Shareholders should consult with their tax advisors when determining the taxable nature of any fund distributions for federal, state or local tax purposes. An investment in the Fund may also result in liability for federal alternative minimum tax, both for individual and corporate shareholders.


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.
