Performance Narrative [Text Block]
The bar chart and table below provide an indication of risk by showing changes in the Fund’s performance over time. The bar chart shows how the Fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual total returns compare to a broad-based securities market index as well as an additional market index with characteristics similar to those of the Fund, for the periods indicated. In the table below, for the period prior to October 28, 2021, the performance for the A Class and C Class shares reflects the returns of the Investor Class shares of the Fund. In each case, the newer share class would have had similar annual returns to the Investor Class shares because the shares of each class represent investments in the same portfolio securities. However, as reflected in the table in the “Fees and Expenses of the Fund” section of this Fund Summary, the expenses of the Investor Class shares differ from those of the newer share classes, which would affect performance. To the extent that the Investor Class shares had lower expenses than a newer share class, the performance of the Investor Class shares would likely have been higher than the newer share class would have realized during the same period. The performance of the A Class and C Class shares shown in the table has not been adjusted for differences in operating expenses between those share classes and the Investor Class shares, but the A Class and C Class shares performance has been adjusted for the impact of the maximum applicable sales charge. You may obtain updated performance information on the Fund’s website at www.americanbeaconfunds.com.

Performance Narrative [Text Block]
The bar chart and table below provide an indication of risk by showing changes in the Fund’s performance over time. The bar chart shows how the Fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual total returns compare to a broad-based securities market index as well as an additional index that reflects short-term Treasury bill performance for the periods indicated. The Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of the Palmer Square SSI Alternative Income Fund, a series of Investment Managers Series Trust, in a reorganization that closed on May 17, 2019. In connection with that reorganization, the Y Class shares and Investor Class shares of the Fund have adopted the performance history and financial statements of the Class I shares and Class A shares, respectively, of the Fund’s predecessor. The bar chart and table below show the performance of the Fund’s Y Class shares for all periods. The table below also shows the performance of the Fund’s Investor Class shares for all periods. The performance of the Fund’s Investor Class shares differs from the performance of the Class A shares of the Fund’s predecessor to the extent that the performance of the Class A shares reflected the deduction of applicable sales charges.
The R5 Class shares of the Fund began operations on May 20, 2019. In the table below, for the period prior to May 20, 2019, the performance of the R5 Class shares reflects the returns of the predecessor Fund’s Class I shares. The R5 Class shares would have had similar annual returns to the Class I shares, because the shares of each class are invested in the same portfolio securities. However, the expenses of the Class I shares of the Fund’s predecessor differ from those of the R5 Class shares, which would affect performance. To the extent that the Class I shares of the Fund’s predecessor had lower expenses than the R5
Class shares, the performance of the Class I shares of the Fund’s predecessor would likely have been higher than the newer share class would have realized during the same period. The R5 Class performance shown in the table has not been adjusted for differences in operating expenses of the R5 Class and the predecessor Fund’s Class I shares.
