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

The Fund invests primarily in a variety of high quality, short-term U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities, including certificates of deposit, time deposits and other obligations issued by domestic and foreign banks, as well as commercial paper. The Fund may invest in foreign obligations. Foreign obligations are obligations (limited to commercial paper and other notes) issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or other entity located or organized in a foreign country that maintains a debt rating in the highest short-term rating category by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") or, if only one NRSRO has rated such debt, then by that NRSRO (or, if unrated, determined by PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") to be of comparable quality).


The Fund also may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies, authorities, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises of the U.S. government and in repurchase agreements collateralized by, but not limited to, cash, government obligations, eligible commercial paper or investment grade fixed income securities and issued by financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers. Investment grade fixed income securities are securities rated in one of the four highest rating categories by at least one NRSRO, or if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. High quality money market instruments include securities that present minimal credit risks as determined by the Adviser and generally include securities that are rated at the time of purchase by at least two NRSROs or, if only one NRSRO has rated such securities, then by that NRSRO, in the highest rating category for such securities, and certain securities that are not rated but are of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser.


As a money market fund, the Fund invests only in instruments with remaining maturities of 397 days or less as determined under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, including variable and floating rate obligations with longer maturities that are deemed to have remaining maturities of 397 days or less in accordance with Rule 2a-7 due to interest rate resetting provisions and/or demand features. The Fund's dollar-weighted average maturity will not exceed 60 days and the Fund's dollar-weighted average life will not exceed 120 days.

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

Counter-Party Risk. If the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation under the agreement, the Fund may suffer delays, incur costs and/or lose money in exercising its rights under the agreement. If the seller fails to repurchase the security and the market value of the security declines, the Fund may lose money.


Credit 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.


Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk. Investments in securities of foreign companies, including foreign banks or foreign branches of U.S. banks, 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 issuers 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.


Government Securities Risk. Investments in certain U.S. government securities may not be supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. The maximum potential liability of the issuers of some U.S. government securities held by the Fund may greatly exceed their current resources, and it is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. In such a case, the Fund would have to look principally to the agency, instrumentality or sponsored enterprise issuing or guaranteeing the security for ultimate repayment, and the Fund may not be able to assert a claim against the U.S. government itself in the event the agency, instrumentality or sponsored enterprise does not meet its commitment. Concerns about the capacity of the U.S. government to meet its obligations may negatively impact the price of such securities held by the Fund.


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.


Money Market Fund Risk. A Fund's ability to maintain a $1.00 per share net asset value ("NAV") at all times could be affected by a sharp rise in interest rates causing the value of a Fund's investments and its share price to drop, a drop in interest rates that reduces the Fund's yield or the downgrading or default of any of the Fund's holdings. The Adviser and its affiliates are under no obligation to support the share price of the Fund. The failure of any money market fund to maintain a stable NAV could create a widespread risk of increased redemption pressures on all money market funds, including the Fund, potentially jeopardizing the stability of their NAVs. In general, certain other money market funds have in the past failed to maintain stable NAVs and there can be no assurance that such failures and resulting redemption pressures will not impact the Fund in the future. In 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted amendments to its rules relating to money market funds. Among other changes, the amendments impose more stringent weighted average maturity limits, higher credit quality standards and new liquidity requirements on money market funds. Although these amendments are designed to reduce the risks associated with investments in money market funds, they also may reduce a money market fund's yield potential. In addition, the SEC has proposed additional reforms to money market fund regulation, which, if adopted, may adversely affect money market funds' operations and/or return potential. The SEC or other regulatory authorities may adopt additional reforms to money market regulation, which may impact the operations and performance of the Fund.


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.


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. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
