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 40.99% of the average value of its portfolio. |

Strategy [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES | |||||
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | The Fund invests primarily in common stock and other equity securities of issuers in developing countries. Developing countries are also known as “emerging markets.” In determining whether an issuer is in a developing country, the Fund will consider whether the country is generally considered to be a developing country by the international financial community, where the issuer is domiciled, the location of the issuer's principal place of business and/or whether the issuer has substantial assets, or derives significant revenues or profits from developing countries. Equity securities are securities that exhibit ownership characteristics, including common and preferred stock, securities convertible into common and preferred stock and depository receipts representing ownership in common and preferred stock. These securities are discussed more fully in the section entitled “Investment Objective, Strategies and Risks.” The investment adviser uses a system of multiple portfolio managers in managing the Fund’s assets. Under this approach, the portfolio of the Fund is divided into segments managed by individual managers who decide how their respective segments will be invested. The Fund relies on the professional judgment of its investment adviser to make decisions about the Fund’s portfolio investments. The basic investment philosophy of the investment adviser is to seek to invest in attractively valued companies that, in its opinion, represent good, long-term investment opportunities. The investment adviser believes that an important way to accomplish this is through fundamental analysis, which may include meeting with company executives and employees, suppliers, customers and competitors. Securities may be sold when the investment adviser believes that they no longer represent relatively attractive investment opportunities. |
|||||
Risk [Heading] | rr_RiskHeading | PRINCIPAL RISKS | |||||
Risk Narrative [Text Block] | rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock | This section describes the principal risks associated with the Fund’s principal investment strategies. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. The likelihood of loss may be greater if you invest for a shorter period of time. Investors in the Fund should have a long-term perspective and be able to tolerate potentially sharp declines in value. Market conditions — The prices of, and the income generated by, the common stocks and other securities held by the Fund may decline due to market conditions and other factors, including those directly involving the issuers of securities held by the Fund. Investing in growth-oriented stocks — Growth-oriented stocks may involve larger price swings and greater potential for loss than other types of investments. These risks may be even greater in the case of smaller capitalization stocks. Investing outside the United States — Securities of issuers domiciled outside the United States, or with significant operations outside the United States, may lose value because of political, social, economic or market developments in the countries or regions in which the issuer operates. These securities may also lose value due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar and/or currencies of other countries. Securities markets in certain countries may be more volatile and/or less liquid than those in the United States. Investments outside the United States may also be subject to different settlement and accounting practices and different regulatory, legal and reporting standards, and may be more difficult to value, than those in the United States. The risks of investing outside the United States may be heightened in connection with investments in developing countries. Investing in developing countries — Investing in countries with developing economies and/or markets may involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in developed countries. For instance, developing countries may have less developed legal and accounting systems than those in developed countries. The governments of these countries may be less stable and more likely to impose capital controls, nationalize a company or industry, place restrictions on foreign ownership and on withdrawing sale proceeds of securities from the country, and/or impose punitive taxes that could adversely affect the prices of securities. In addition, the economies of these countries may be dependent on relatively few industries that are more susceptible to local and global changes. Securities markets in these countries can also be relatively small and have substantially lower trading volumes. As a result, securities issued in these countries may be more volatile and less liquid, and may be more difficult to value, than securities issued in countries with more developed economies and/or markets. Additionally, there may be increased settlement risks for transactions in local securities. Management — The investment adviser to the Fund actively manages the Fund’s investments. Consequently, the Fund is subject to the risk that the methods and analyses employed by the investment adviser in this process may not produce the desired results. This could cause the Fund to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. 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 governmental agency, entity or person. |
