Expense Example [Heading] EXAMPLE.
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]

 This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Mid Cap Value Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in 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. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangement discussed in the previous table is reflected through April 5, 2027. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

These costs, which are not reflected in Total 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.
