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 62% 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 invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), fixed income securities and cash equivalents with varying asset allocations depending on PNC Capital Advisors, LLC's (the "Adviser") assessment of market conditions.


The Fund intends to invest 45% to 75% of its net assets in equity securities, such as common stocks and convertible securities, 25% to 55% of its net assets in fixed income securities, such as corporate bonds, U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and high-yield bonds ("junk bonds"), and up to 30% of its net assets in cash, cash equivalent, or other types of short-term money market instruments. Under normal circumstances, at least 25% of the Fund's net assets will be invested in fixed income senior securities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets at the time of purchase in foreign securities (which includes common stock, fixed income securities, preferred stock and convertible bonds of companies headquartered outside the United States), and may include investing in emerging market securities. The Fund may invest in companies with stock market capitalizations of at least $100 million.


The Fund primarily invests the fixed income portion of its portfolio in a broad range of fixed income securities in order to generate current income. The dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund's fixed income allocation is normally expected to range from four to twelve years, but may vary outside that range from time to time, including due to market conditions. The Fund also utilizes an active trading approach. The Adviser may choose to sell a holding, for example, when it no longer offers attractive growth prospects or to take advantage of a better investment opportunity.


The Fund may invest in other investment companies, such as, for example, open-end or closed-end investment companies, ETFs and domestic or foreign private investment vehicles, including investment companies sponsored or managed by the Adviser and its affiliates.


The Fund may use derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in an underlying asset, to increase returns, to manage risk or as a part of a hedging strategy. 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 and options on futures contracts for the purpose of managing exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates or currency values. Finally, the Fund may also use futures to gain diversified exposure to a specific country or region and may purchase put options on securities or indices to manage the risk of loss.

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.


Allocation Risk. The Fund's performance could be hurt if the Adviser's asset allocation decisions prove to be incorrect. The Adviser may implement its asset allocation strategy in a way that does not produce the intended result. For example, the Adviser's asset allocation decisions may not anticipate market trends successfully which may result in a failure to preserve capital or lower total return.


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.


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.


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 may 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.


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.


High-Yield Bond Risk. Investments in high-yield, lower rated securities ("junk bonds") involve greater risk than investments in investment grade securities. Such risks include:


•  A greater risk of price declines than investments in investment grade securities (e.g., securities rated BBB or higher by S&P or Baa or higher by Moody's) due to changes in the issuer's creditworthiness or economic conditions.


•  The market for high-yield, lower rated securities may be thinner and less active, causing market price volatility and limited liquidity in the secondary market. This may limit the ability of the Fund to sell these securities at their fair market values either to meet redemption requests, or in response to changes in the economy or the financial markets.


•  A greater risk of default than investments in investment-grade securities due to the predominantly speculative nature of the issuer's ability to make principal and interest payments.


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.


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.


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.


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] "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, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include 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 1.00%, 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.
