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 24% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund


The LargeCap Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of large-capitalization companies that at the time of purchase fall within the capitalization ranges of companies in the S&P 500 Index, the Fund’s benchmark. Although market capitalizations are constantly changing, as of December 31, 2019, the smallest company in the S&P 500 Index had a market capitalization of $2.90 billion. The Fund’s equity investments included within this 80% may include common stocks, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs). Although current income is not its primary objective, the LargeCap Fund anticipates that capital growth will be accompanied by growth through dividend income.


We invest in equity securities that possess most of the following characteristics:


·Leading market positions

·High barriers to entry and other competitive or technological advantages

·High returns on equity and assets

·Good growth prospects

·Strong management

·Relatively low debt burdens

We also generally seek to identify investment opportunities in equity securities of companies that we believe have above-average potential for earnings and dividend growth.


To achieve a better risk-adjusted return on its equity investments, the LargeCap Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of companies, including companies from a blend of industries and style classes. We believe that holding a diverse group of stocks will provide competitive returns under different market environments relative to more narrow investment styles. Our flexible approach to equity investing enables us to adapt to changing market trends and conditions and to invest wherever we believe opportunity exists.

Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Like all investments, an investment in the LargeCap Fund is subject to risks, and you could lose money investing in the Fund. The Fund could fail to achieve its investment objective. The LargeCap Fund is suitable if you are looking for capital appreciation by investing in a diverse group of large-sized companies and have a long-term perspective.


An investment in the LargeCap Fund typically is subject to the following principal risks:


Market Risk. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s share price and total return. The equity securities held by the LargeCap Fund fluctuate in value due to changes in the securities markets, general economic conditions and factors that particularly affect the issuers of these stocks and their industries.


Large Cap Risk. Companies having large capitalizations tend to be more mature than smaller-capitalization stocks. As a result, these types of companies may have fewer opportunities to grow relative to the economy as a whole.


Active Management Risk. Our selection of securities for the LargeCap Fund may not perform as well as expected when those securities were purchased or as well as the securities markets generally. The selection of securities for the LargeCap Fund may be more or less heavily allocated to some sectors or types of securities than the Fund’s benchmark, which may cause the Fund’s performance and/or risk profile to differ significantly from its benchmark.


Style Risk. From time to time we may prefer a certain investment style, such as a growth style or value style, that may underperform and/or be more volatile than other investment styles or the stock markets generally during these periods.


Smaller Cap Risk. Companies having medium and smaller capitalizations are subject to greater price volatility than stocks of large companies and may have lower trading volume and less market liquidity than larger, more-established companies. These companies tend to have smaller revenues, narrower product lines, less management depth and experience, smaller shares of their product or services markets, fewer financial resources and less competitive strength than larger companies.


Depositary Receipts Risk. American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) are subject to some extent to the risks associated with directly investing in securities of foreign issuers, including the risk of changes in currency exchange rates, expropriation or nationalization of assets, and the impact of political, diplomatic, or social events.


Real Estate Investment Trusts. Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) depend on specialized management skills and may have limited diversification and smaller market capitalizations.
