Objective [Heading]	rr_ObjectiveHeading	Investment Objective
Objective, Primary [Text Block]	rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock	The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of securities consisting of common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks such as convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks.

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. 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 29% of the average value of its portfolio.

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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Expense Example by, Year, Caption [Text]	rr_ExpenseExampleByYearCaption	Expense Examples
Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of mid-cap companies. Mid-cap companies are those companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase in the range of companies in the Russell Midcap Index ("RMCI") or the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index ("S&P 400"). As of May 31, 2012, the companies in the RMCI had a market capitalization range of approximately $1.4 billion to $17.4 billion. As of June 29, 2012, the companies in the S&P 400 had a market capitalization range of approximately $380 million to $11.8 billion. In managing the Fund's portfolio, the Advisor emphasizes mid-cap companies with above-average growth potential or with temporarily depressed prices. Evaluation techniques the Advisor typically uses in selecting individual securities include fundamental analysis, valuation techniques, and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis will focus on qualitative aspects of the company's product, management, and competitive strategy. Valuation techniques include quantitative screens to review historical earnings, revenue, and cash flow. Technical analysis will be deployed as it relates to the timing of trading the securities. The Fund may also invest in convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include: Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value. Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money. Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions. Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security's maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline. Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market. Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time. Mid/Small Cap Stock Risk. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

Huntington VA Situs Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The table below and the Example that follows it DO NOT reflect variable insurance contract or separate account fees and charges. If these were included, your costs would be higher.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.98%

Example

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 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Examples

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Huntington VA Situs Fund	100	312	542	1,201

Portfolio Turnover

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. 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 10% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund normally pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities of companies whose geographical, political and/or demographic situs positions them to outperform other companies. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common stocks such as convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks which, if rated, will be investment-grade at the time of investment. If a security has not received a rating, the Fund must rely entirely upon the Advisor's credit assessment that the security is comparable to investment-grade.

Under normal market conditions, the Advisor invests at least 80% of the Fund's assets in equity securities. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in the equity securities of foreign issuers.

In managing the Fund's portfolio, the Advisor utilizes a screening process that identifies companies based on situs, which is one or more geographical locations that are positioned and likely to allow the companies to outperform those in other locations. Examples of situs advantages include favorable political, social or economic factors or population demographics. While the Fund may invest in companies of any size, smaller companies tend to be best positioned to outperform due to situs factors.

The Advisor also employs fundamental analysis, valuation techniques, and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis focuses on qualitative aspects of the company's product, management, and competitive strategy. Valuation techniques include quantitative screens to review historical earnings, revenue, and cash flow. Technical analysis will be deployed as it relates to the timing of trading the securities.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include:

Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.

Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to all of the risks of investing in foreign developed markets, emerging market securities involve risks attendant to less mature and stable governments and economies, lower trading volume, trading suspension, security price volatility, proceed repatriation restrictions, government confiscation, inflation, deflation, currency devaluation and adverse government regulations of industries or markets. As a result of these risks, the prices of emerging market securities tend to be more volatile than the securities of issuers located in developed markets.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

Foreign Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs Risk. Foreign custodial services are generally more expensive in foreign jurisdictions than in the United States. In addition, because the procedures for settling securities transactions in foreign markets differ from those in the United States, it may be more difficult for the Fund to make intended purchases and sales of securities in foreign countries.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries.

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Mid/Small Cap Stock Risk. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund normally pursues its objective by making investments that have performed well relative to general U.S. stocks and bonds during periods of increased inflation. The Fund implements its strategy by investing in a combination of the following: Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") that own commercial or residential properties, timberlands and other real estate or that provide real estate financing; Equity securities issued by corporations engaged in real estate-related or commodities-related businesses, index-based securities and investment companies that invest in such equity securities, and other securities representing interests in cash flows or returns from real estate or commodities; Publicly traded partnerships and trusts, including exchange traded commodity funds and master limited partnerships that (1) invest in real estate or commodities, or in derivative contracts for real estate, commodities or related indices, or (2) conduct real estate-related or commodities-related businesses; and Inflation Protected Securities ("IPS") issued by U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities and by corporations that are structured to provide protection against inflation, and other fixed income securities that historically have provided protection against inflation. For purposes of this investment strategy, commodities include any physical good used principally in the manufacture or production of products, or the construction of facilities, including without limitation, agricultural products, minerals and energy. The Fund will treat a good as a commodity after it has been harvested or extracted, and after it has been processed or manufactured into another form. In addition, an issuer is "real estate-related" if it engages primarily in the business of (1) acquiring, developing, managing or financing real estate or (2) providing goods, equipment or services to companies engaged in such businesses. An issuer is "commodities-related" if it engages primarily in the business of (1) growing, harvesting, transporting, processing or selling crops (including timber) or livestock, (2) finding, extracting, transporting, refining, manufacturing or selling minerals, (3) generating, transporting or selling electricity, or (4) providing goods, equipment or services to companies engaged in any of the foregoing businesses. The Advisor bases the Fund's investment strategy on its evaluation of the current and expected market conditions for real estate and commodities, and its outlook for inflation in the United States. Under ordinary market conditions, the Fund will hold IPS to the extent that the Advisor cannot find more favorable real estate-related and commodities-related investment opportunities. IPS will include U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS"), other U.S. dollar denominated fixed income securities issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities or corporations, and derivatives contracts, with inflation protection provisions (including adjustable interest rates). The Fund is not limited as to the minimum or maximum amount of its assets it may invest in real estate-related, commodities-related or inflation-protected investments, or in any combination thereof. In addition, the Fund's investment strategy may result in investment of more than 25% of its portfolio in certain business sectors (such as energy or mining) or in certain geographic regions or countries. The Fund may invest in securities issued by U.S. and foreign governments and companies, and in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may invest in companies of any size, including small, high growth companies. The Fund also may invest in companies whose shares are being, or recently have been, offered to the public for the first time. The Fund actively trades its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include: Agriculture Risk. Investments in agriculture-related companies are subject to the same risks as investments in agricultural commodities, such as adverse weather conditions, embargoes, tariffs, and adverse international economic, political and regulatory developments. Class/Sector/Region Focus Risk. When the Fund invests more than 25% of its net assets in a particular asset class (such as real estate-related or commodities-related securities), or securities of issuers within a particular business sector or geographic region, it is subject to increased risk. Commodities-Related Investment Risk. Neither the Advisor nor the Fund anticipate being subject to registration or regulation by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") as a commodity pool, commodity pool operator ("CPO") or a commodity trading adviser ("CTA") under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA") as a result of the Fund's commodities-related investments. However, should the Advisor or the Fund be deemed to fall under these categories, then the Advisor would be subject to registration and regulation in its capacity as the Fund's CPO or CTA, and the Fund would be subject to regulation as a commodity pool under the CEA. A Fund may incur additional expense as a result of the registration and regulation obligations and certain investments may be limited or restricted. Counterparty Risk. The value of the Fund's investments may be adversely affected if a security's credit rating is downgraded; an issuer of an investment held by the Fund fails to pay an obligation on a timely basis, otherwise defaults or is perceived by other investors to be less creditworthy; or a counterparty to a derivatives or other transaction with the Fund files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to honor its obligation to the Fund. Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money. Currency Risk. Securities denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in currency rates and by substantial currency conversion costs. Energy Risk. Investments in energy-related companies may fluctuate substantially in value over both short and long periods, based on changes in the prices and supplies of oil and other energy fuels. Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions. Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. Like a conventional mutual fund, the value of an ETF can fluctuate based on the prices of the securities owned by the ETF, and ETFs are also subject to the following additional risks: (i) the ETF's market price may be less than its net asset value; (ii) an active market for the ETF may not develop; and (iii) market trading in the ETF may be halted under certain circumstances. Fee Layering Risk. Because the Fund may invest its assets in underlying mutual funds or ETFs that have their own fees and expenses in addition to those charged directly by the Fund, the Fund may bear higher expenses than a Fund that invests directly in individual securities. Foreign Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs Risk. Foreign custodial services are generally more expensive in foreign jurisdictions than in the United States. In addition, because the procedures for settling securities transactions in foreign markets differ from those in the United States, it may be more difficult for the Fund to make intended purchases and sales of securities in foreign countries. Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries. Inflation-Protected Securities Risk. While IPS adjust positively in response to inflation, their value may under certain circumstances decline or underperform relative to other fixed-income securities. In addition, the tax and other characteristics of IPS held by the Fund could require the Fund to liquidate other portfolio securities at disadvantageous times in order to pay taxes, and could cause fluctuations in the Fund's income distributions. Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security's maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline. Investment Company Risk. Mutual fund portfolios bear expenses for advisory fees and operational expenses. The Fund will bear these expenses as an investor in underlying funds and, as a result, investors in the Fund may bear higher expenses than a Fund that invests directly in equity or fixed income securities. These estimated expenses of the Fund are disclosed in a separate line in the fee table (Annual Fund Operating Expenses). Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market. Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time. Mid/Small Cap Stock Risk. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies. Mineral and Mining Risk. The Fund's investment in minerals and mining related companies are subject to the same risks as direct investments in minerals. Mineral prices rise and fall in response to many factors, which could lead to significant and rapid fluctuations in the value of mining related investments held by the Fund. Real Estate/REIT Risk. The Fund's investment in REITs is subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate, including sensitivity to general economic downturns and the volatility of local real estate markets. REITs may have limited financial resources and their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume, and thus they may be more volatile than other securities.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund normally pursues its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities, and at least 65% of its assets in companies based outside the United States. The Advisor manages the Fund based on the view that international equity markets are inefficient at pricing securities and that careful security selection offers the best potential for superior long-term investment returns. The Advisor uses a "bottom-up" approach to stock selection (searching for outstanding performance of individual stocks before considering the impact of economic trends) and evaluates industry and country exposure to be consistent with a top-down approach. The Advisor attempts to purchase securities with value characteristics consistent with an overall assessment of the economic environment in which the underlying company operates and the overall growth in the company's economic value. The Fund will not invest more than 20% of its assets in companies located in emerging markets. In determining which markets are emerging markets, the Advisor will look at whether the market is large and liquid enough that trading is readily available, and that the management of the market itself has a history of meeting global norms of transparency.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include: Currency Risk. Securities denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in currency rates and by substantial currency conversion costs. Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to all of the risks of investing in foreign developed markets, emerging market securities involve risks attendant to less mature and stable governments and economies, lower trading volume, trading suspension, security price volatility, proceed repatriation restrictions, government confiscation, inflation, deflation, currency devaluation and adverse government regulations of industries or markets. As a result of these risks, the prices of emerging market securities tend to be more volatile than the securities of issuers located in developed markets. Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions. Foreign Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs Risk. Foreign custodial services are generally more expensive in foreign jurisdictions than in the United States.

All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries. Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market. Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell a security when it wants to, which could cause the Fund to continue to hold the security and thereby incur a loss. Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Fund Summaries

Huntington VA Rotating Markets Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The table below and the Example that follows it DO NOT reflect variable insurance contract or separate account fees and charges. If these were included, your costs would be higher.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the
value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		Huntington VA Rotating Markets Fund
Management Fees		0.60%
Other Expenses		0.51%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses		0.02%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		1.13%
Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements	[1]	(0.13%)
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements		1.00%

Example

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 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Examples

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Huntington VA Rotating Markets Fund	102	346	610	1,363

Expense Example, No Redemption (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Huntington VA Rotating Markets Fund	115	359	622	1,375

Portfolio Turnover

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. 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 113% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund will normally pursue its investment objective by rotating investments among equity market segments (small-cap, mid-cap, large-cap and global) as determined by the Fund's Advisor to offer the greatest potential for capital appreciation in a given market environment.

Under normal market conditions the Fund will invest (either directly or through the ownership of index-based securities, as described below) at least 75% of its assets in equity stocks comprising the equity market segment selected by the Advisor. The Advisor will rotate among the small-cap, mid-cap, large-cap and global equity market segments, when it determines that another equity market segment is more favorable given the projected market environment. To determine which equity market segment offers the greatest potential for capital appreciation, the Advisor will use "top-down" analysis to evaluate broad economic trends, anticipate shifts in the business cycle, and determine which equity market segment may benefit the most over the next 12 months.

The following is information about the equity market segments among which the Advisor will rotate investments. Investment in any segment could consist of stocks of companies whose capitalization falls within the specified range and/or index-based securities that hold stocks of companies whose capitalization falls within the specified range at the time of purchase. Index-based securities are exchange-traded funds that represent ownership in a long-term investment trust that holds a portfolio of common stocks designed to track the price performance and dividend yield of an index, such as the Russell 2000 Index, S&P 500, or the NASDAQ-100 Index. The small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap market segments are comprised predominantly of U.S. companies, although many companies have international operations or international exposure to varying degrees.

The small-cap market segment includes companies whose market capitalization at the time of purchase are within the market capitalization range of companies in a recognized independent small-cap index, such as the Russell 2000 Index which had a market capitalization range of approximately $101 million to $2.6 billion as of May 31, 2012.

The mid-cap market segment includes companies whose market capitalization at the time of purchase are within the market capitalization range of companies in a recognized independent mid-cap index, such as the Russell Midcap Index which had a market capitalization range of approximately $1.4 billion to $17.4 billion as of May 31, 2012.

The large-cap market segment includes companies whose market capitalization at the time of purchase are within the market capitalization range of companies in a recognized independent large-cap index, such as the S&P 500 which had a market capitalization range of approximately $1.5 billion to $501.4 billion as of December 31, 2012.

The global market segment comprises companies that are based throughout the world, including the United States. When invested in the global market segment, the Fund's investment (either directly or through the ownership of index-based securities) in equity stocks issued by companies based outside the United States will typically fluctuate between 50% and 80% of its assets.

The Fund actively trades its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include:

Energy Risk. Investments in energy-related companies may fluctuate substantially in value over both short and long periods, based on changes in the prices and supplies of oil and other energy fuels.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. Like a conventional mutual fund, the value of an ETF can fluctuate based on the prices of the securities owned by the ETF, and ETFs are also subject to the following additional risks: (i) the ETF's market price may be less than its net asset value; (ii) an active market for the ETF may not develop; and (iii) market trading in the ETF may be halted under certain circumstances.

Fee Layering Risk. Because the Fund may invest its assets in underlying mutual funds or ETFs that have their own fees and expenses in addition to those charged directly by the Fund, the Fund may bear higher expenses than a Fund that invests directly in individual securities.

Foreign Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs Risk. Foreign custodial services are generally more expensive in foreign jurisdictions than in the United States. In addition, because the procedures for settling securities transactions in foreign markets differ from those in the United States, it may be more difficult for the Fund to make intended purchases and sales of securities in foreign countries.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries.

Investment Company Risk. Mutual fund portfolios bear expenses for advisory fees and operational expenses. The Fund will bear these expenses as an investor in underlying funds and, as a result, investors in the Fund may bear higher expenses than a Fund that invests directly in equity or fixed income securities. These estimated expenses of the Fund are disclosed in a separate line in the fee table (Annual Fund Operating Expenses).

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Mid/Small Cap Stock Risk. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thereby lowering its performance)

For more information, please see "Principal Fund Investment Strategies and Risks" in this prospectus.

Performance

The performance information shown below will help you analyze the Fund’s investment risks in light of its historical returns. The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund’s total returns on a calendar year-by-year basis. The Average Annual Total Return table shows returns averaged over the stated periods, compared with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund’s performance will fluctuate, and past performance is not necessarily an indication of future results.

The returns in the bar chart and the table below DO NOT reflect variable insurance separate account and contract fees and charges. If these fees and charges were included, the returns would be lower than those shown.

[1] Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee (based on average daily net assets) and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary in order to limit the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses (after the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, and exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends, and extraordinary expenses) to not more than 1.00% of the Fund's daily net assets through April 30, 2014. Under certain conditions, the Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed under these arrangements for a period of three years following the fiscal year in which such reimbursement occurred.

Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund

Fund Summaries

Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return on investment, with dividend income as an important component of that return.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The table below and the Example that follows it DO NOT reflect variable insurance contract or separate account fees and charges. If these were included, your costs would be higher.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the
value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses	Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund
Management Fees	0.60%
Other Expenses	0.35%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses	0.01%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.96%

Example

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 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Examples

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund	98	306	531	1,178

Portfolio Turnover

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 110% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund normally invests at least 65% of its assets in dividend-paying stocks, and the Advisor focuses on those it believes are undervalued or out of favor. The Fund may invest in convertible bonds and other securities, such as preferred stock and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), that contain aspects of both stocks and bonds. The Advisor will also frequently purchase stocks in the short period prior to the ex-dividend date (the interval between the announcement and the payments of the next dividend) which increases the amount of trading costs the Fund will incur.

The Fund generally invests in mature, middle and large-capitalization U.S. corporations. Quantitative analysis is used to identify stocks that the Advisor believes are undervalued relative to the market and to the security’s historic valuations. The Advisor then uses a qualitative stock selection model based on earnings expectations and supplemental valuation measures to narrow the list of stocks to the most attractive.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and returns include:

Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.

Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security’s maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline.

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thereby lowering its performance).

Real Estate/REIT Risk. The Fund’s investment in REITs is subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate, including sensitivity to general economic downturns and the volatility of local real estate markets. REITs may have limited financial resources and their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume, and thus they may be more volatile than other securities.

Performance

The performance information shown below will help you analyze the Fund’s investment risks in light of its historical returns. The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund’s total returns on a calendar year-by-year basis. The Average Annual Total Return table shows returns averaged over the stated periods compared with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund’s performance will fluctuate, and past performance is not necessarily an indication of future results.

The returns in the bar chart and the table below DO NOT reflect variable insurance separate account and contract fees and charges. If these fees and charges were included, the returns would be lower than those shown.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund is a “Fund of Funds” and seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing exclusively in the shares of other portfolios of The Huntington Funds (“Underlying Funds”). Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to achieve a mix of approximately 60% of assets in equity securities and 40% of assets in fixed-income securities (including up to 5% in money market eligible securities). The allocation of investments in each of the Underlying Funds set forth below may vary from time to time in an attempt to achieve the Fund’s investment goal. The Fund anticipates investing approximately 60% of its assets in shares of the following Underlying Funds which invest primarily in equity securities (“Underlying Equity Funds”): Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund, Huntington VA Growth Fund, Huntington VA Income Equity Fund, Huntington VA International Equity Fund, Huntington VA Mid Corp America Fund, and Huntington VA Situs Fund. The Fund anticipates investing approximately 40% of its assets in shares of the following Underlying Funds that invest primarily in fixed-income securities (“Underlying Fixed-Income Funds”) and (not to exceed 5% of total Fund assets) Underlying Funds that invest primarily in money market eligible securities: Huntington Fixed Income Securities Fund, Huntington VA Mortgage Securities Fund, Huntington Money Market Fund, and Huntington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. The Fund decides how to allocate assets to Underlying Funds based upon (i) the Advisor’s outlook for the markets in which each Underlying Fund invests, (ii) the asset composition and anticipated performance of each Underlying Fund, and (iii) other global economic factors. Certain of the Underlying Funds invest in foreign securities and below investment-grade securities (junk bonds). In addition, certain of the Underlying Funds invest in securities of U.S. government-sponsored entities (“GSEs”), including GSE securities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary risks that may reduce the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and returns include: Advisor’s Potential Conflict Risk. The Advisor is subject to conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund’s assets among the various Underlying Funds it has selected for the Fund both because the fees payable to it and/or its affiliates (primarily management fees) by some Underlying Funds are higher than the fees payable by other Underlying Funds and because the Advisor is also primarily responsible for managing the Underlying Funds. Allocation Risk. Because the Fund’s assets will consist of approximately 60% in Underlying Equity Funds and 40% in Underlying Fixed-Income Funds/Underlying Money Market Funds, the Fund may underperform other funds which may invest all of their assets in a single asset class. Counterparty Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if a security’s credit rating is downgraded; an issuer of an investment held by the Fund fails to pay an obligation on a timely basis, otherwise defaults or is perceived by other investors to be less creditworthy; or a counterparty to a derivatives or other transaction with the Fund files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to honor its obligation to the Fund. Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money. Currency Risk. Securities denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in currency rates and by substantial currency conversion costs. Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition and on market and economic conditions. Extension Risk. When interest rates rise, mortgage payments and anticipated prepayments may occur at a slower-than expected rate, thus effectively extending the maturity of mortgage-backed securities. Prices of longer-term securities generally fluctuate more widely in response to changes in interest rates than prices of shorter-term securities. Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries. Growth Investing Risk. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return. Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security’s maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline. Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which an Underlying Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market. Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell a security when it wants to, which could cause the Fund to continue to hold the security and thereby incur a loss. Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time. Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, particularly those with complex or highly variable terms, such as CMOs, entail greater prepayment and liquidity risks than other fixed-income securities. As a result, their prices may be more volatile and their trading market may be more limited than that of other fixed income securities. Non-Investment Grade Securities Risk. Fixed income securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater interest rate, liquidity and credit risks than investment grade securities. Performance Risk. The investment performance of the Fund may be adversely affected if the Underlying Funds are unable to meet their investment objectives or the Fund allocates a significant portion of its assets to an Underlying Fund that performs poorly, including relative to other Underlying Funds. Prepayment Risk. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage-backed securities may not rise as quickly as the prices of other fixed-income securities. Value Investing Risk. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stock in an up market.

Fund Summaries

Huntington VA Real Strategies Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return consisting of capital appreciation and income.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The table below and the Example that follows it DO NOT reflect variable insurance contract or separate account fees and charges. If these were included, your costs would be higher.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the
value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		Huntington VA Real Strategies Fund
Management Fees		0.60%
Other Expenses		0.66%

Expense Example, No Redemption (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Huntington VA Real Strategies Fund	134	418	723	1,590

Portfolio Turnover

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. 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 33% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund normally pursues its objective by making investments that have performed well relative to general U.S. stocks and bonds during periods of increased inflation. The Fund implements its strategy by investing in a combination of the following:

• Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") that own commercial or residential properties, timberlands and other real estate or that provide real estate financing;

• Equity securities issued by corporations engaged in real estate-related or commodities-related businesses, index-based securities and investment companies that invest in such equity securities, and other securities representing interests in cash flows or returns from real estate or commodities;

• Publicly traded partnerships and trusts, including exchange traded commodity funds and master limited partnerships that (1) invest in real estate or commodities, or in derivative contracts for real estate, commodities or related indices, or (2) conduct real estate-related or commodities-related businesses; and

• Inflation Protected Securities ("IPS") issued by U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities and by corporations that are structured to provide protection against inflation, and other fixed income securities that historically have provided protection against inflation.

For purposes of this investment strategy, commodities include any physical good used principally in the manufacture or production of products, or the construction of facilities, including without limitation, agricultural products, minerals and energy. The Fund will treat a good as a commodity after it has been harvested or extracted, and after it has been processed or manufactured into another form.

In addition, an issuer is "real estate-related" if it engages primarily in the business of (1) acquiring, developing, managing or financing real estate or (2) providing goods, equipment or services to companies engaged in such businesses. An issuer is "commodities-related" if it engages primarily in the business of (1) growing, harvesting, transporting, processing or selling crops (including timber) or livestock, (2) finding, extracting, transporting, refining, manufacturing or selling minerals, (3) generating, transporting or selling electricity, or (4) providing goods, equipment or services to companies engaged in any of the foregoing businesses.

The Advisor bases the Fund's investment strategy on its evaluation of the current and expected market conditions for real estate and commodities, and its outlook for inflation in the United States.

Under ordinary market conditions, the Fund will hold IPS to the extent that the Advisor cannot find more favorable real estate-related and commodities-related investment opportunities. IPS will include U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS"), other U.S. dollar denominated fixed income securities issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities or corporations, and derivatives contracts, with inflation protection provisions (including adjustable interest rates).

The Fund is not limited as to the minimum or maximum amount of its assets it may invest in real estate-related, commodities-related or inflation-protected investments, or in any combination thereof. In addition, the Fund's investment strategy may result in investment of more than 25% of its portfolio in certain business sectors (such as energy or mining) or in certain geographic regions or countries.

The Fund may invest in securities issued by U.S. and foreign governments and companies, and in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may invest in companies of any size, including small, high growth companies. The Fund also may invest in companies whose shares are being, or recently have been, offered to the public for the first time.

The Fund actively trades its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include:

Agriculture Risk. Investments in agriculture-related companies are subject to the same risks as investments in agricultural commodities, such as adverse weather conditions, embargoes, tariffs, and adverse international economic, political and regulatory developments.

Class/Sector/Region Focus Risk. When the Fund invests more than 25% of its net assets in a particular asset class (such as real estate-related or commodities-related securities), or securities of issuers within a particular business sector or geographic region, it is subject to increased risk.

Commodities-Related Investment Risk. Neither the Advisor nor the Fund anticipate being subject to registration or regulation by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") as a commodity pool, commodity pool operator ("CPO") or a commodity trading adviser ("CTA") under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA") as a result of the Fund's commodities-related investments. However, should the Advisor or the Fund be deemed to fall under these categories, then the Advisor would be subject to registration and regulation in its capacity as the Fund's CPO or CTA, and the Fund would be subject to regulation as a commodity pool under the CEA. A Fund may incur additional expense as a result of the registration and regulation obligations and certain investments may be limited or restricted.

Counterparty Risk. The value of the Fund's investments may be adversely affected if a security's credit rating is downgraded; an issuer of an investment held by the Fund fails to pay an obligation on a timely basis, otherwise defaults or is perceived by other investors to be less creditworthy; or a counterparty to a derivatives or other transaction with the Fund files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to honor its obligation to the Fund.

Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Currency Risk. Securities denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in currency rates and by substantial currency conversion costs.

Energy Risk. Investments in energy-related companies may fluctuate substantially in value over both short and long periods, based on changes in the prices and supplies of oil and other energy fuels.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. Like a conventional mutual fund, the value of an ETF can fluctuate based on the prices of the securities owned by the ETF, and ETFs are also subject to the following additional risks: (i) the ETF's market price may be less than its net asset value; (ii) an active market for the ETF may not develop; and (iii) market trading in the ETF may be halted under certain circumstances.

Fee Layering Risk. Because the Fund may invest its assets in underlying mutual funds or ETFs that have their own fees and expenses in addition to those charged directly by the Fund, the Fund may bear higher expenses than a Fund that invests directly in individual securities.

Foreign Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs Risk. Foreign custodial services are generally more expensive in foreign jurisdictions than in the United States. In addition, because the procedures for settling securities transactions in foreign markets differ from those in the United States, it may be more difficult for the Fund to make intended purchases and sales of securities in foreign countries.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries.

Inflation-Protected Securities Risk. While IPS adjust positively in response to inflation, their value may under certain circumstances decline or underperform relative to other fixed-income securities. In addition, the tax and other characteristics of IPS held by the Fund could require the Fund to liquidate other portfolio securities at disadvantageous times in order to pay taxes, and could cause fluctuations in the Fund's income distributions.

Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security's maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline.

Investment Company Risk. Mutual fund portfolios bear expenses for advisory fees and operational expenses. The Fund will bear these expenses as an investor in underlying funds and, as a result, investors in the Fund may bear higher expenses than a Fund that invests directly in equity or fixed income securities. These estimated expenses of the Fund are disclosed in a separate line in the fee table (Annual Fund Operating Expenses).

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Mid/Small Cap Stock Risk. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

Mineral and Mining Risk. The Fund's investment in minerals and mining related companies are subject to the same risks as direct investments in minerals. Mineral prices rise and fall in response to many factors, which could lead to significant and rapid fluctuations in the value of mining related investments held by the Fund.

Real Estate/REIT Risk. The Fund's investment in REITs is subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate, including sensitivity to general economic downturns and the volatility of local real estate markets. REITs may have limited financial resources and their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume, and thus they may be more volatile than other securities.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund will normally pursue its investment objective by rotating investments among equity market segments (small-cap, mid-cap, large-cap and global) as determined by the Fund's Advisor to offer the greatest potential for capital appreciation in a given market environment. Under normal market conditions the Fund will invest (either directly or through the ownership of index-based securities, as described below) at least 75% of its assets in equity stocks comprising the equity market segment selected by the Advisor. The Advisor will rotate among the small-cap, mid-cap, large-cap and global equity market segments, when it determines that another equity market segment is more favorable given the projected market environment. To determine which equity market segment offers the greatest potential for capital appreciation, the Advisor will use "top-down" analysis to evaluate broad economic trends, anticipate shifts in the business cycle, and determine which equity market segment may benefit the most over the next 12 months. The following is information about the equity market segments among which the Advisor will rotate investments. Investment in any segment could consist of stocks of companies whose capitalization falls within the specified range and/or index-based securities that hold stocks of companies whose capitalization falls within the specified range at the time of purchase. Index-based securities are exchange-traded funds that represent ownership in a long-term investment trust that holds a portfolio of common stocks designed to track the price performance and dividend yield of an index, such as the Russell 2000 Index, S&P 500, or the NASDAQ-100 Index. The small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap market segments are comprised predominantly of U.S. companies, although many companies have international operations or international exposure to varying degrees. The small-cap market segment includes companies whose market capitalization at the time of purchase are within the market capitalization range of companies in a recognized independent small-cap index, such as the Russell 2000 Index which had a market capitalization range of approximately $101 million to $2.6 billion as of May 31, 2012. The mid-cap market segment includes companies whose market capitalization at the time of purchase are within the market capitalization range of companies in a recognized independent mid-cap index, such as the Russell Midcap Index which had a market capitalization range of approximately $1.4 billion to $17.4 billion as of May 31, 2012. The large-cap market segment includes companies whose market capitalization at the time of purchase are within the market capitalization range of companies in a recognized independent large-cap index, such as the S&P 500 which had a market capitalization range of approximately $1.5 billion to $501.4 billion as of December 31, 2012. The global market segment comprises companies that are based throughout the world, including the United States. When invested in the global market segment, the Fund's investment (either directly or through the ownership of index-based securities) in equity stocks issued by companies based outside the United States will typically fluctuate between 50% and 80% of its assets. The Fund actively trades its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include: Energy Risk. Investments in energy-related companies may fluctuate substantially in value over both short and long periods, based on changes in the prices and supplies of oil and other energy fuels. Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions. Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. Like a conventional mutual fund, the value of an ETF can fluctuate based on the prices of the securities owned by the ETF, and ETFs are also subject to the following additional risks: (i) the ETF's market price may be less than its net asset value; (ii) an active market for the ETF may not develop; and (iii) market trading in the ETF may be halted under certain circumstances.

Fund Summaries

Huntington VA Balanced Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation and current income.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The table below and the Example that follows it DO NOT reflect variable insurance contract or separate account fees and charges. If these were included, your costs would be higher.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the
value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		Huntington VA Balanced Fund
Management Fees		0.10%
Other Expenses		0.31%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses		1.01%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		1.42%
Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements	[1]	(0.31%)
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements		1.11%

Example

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 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Examples

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Huntington VA Balanced Fund	113	419	747	1,675

Expense Example, No Redemption (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Huntington VA Balanced Fund	145	449	776	1,702

Portfolio Turnover

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. 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 13% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund is a “Fund of Funds” and seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing exclusively in the shares of other portfolios of The Huntington Funds (“Underlying Funds”). Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to achieve a mix of approximately 60% of assets in equity securities and 40% of assets in fixed-income securities (including up to 5% in money market eligible securities). The allocation of investments in each of the Underlying Funds set forth below may vary from time to time in an attempt to achieve the Fund’s investment goal.

The Fund anticipates investing approximately 60% of its assets in shares of the following Underlying Funds which invest primarily in equity securities (“Underlying Equity Funds”):

Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund,
Huntington VA Growth Fund,
Huntington VA Income Equity Fund,
Huntington VA International Equity Fund,
Huntington VA Mid Corp America Fund, and
Huntington VA Situs Fund.

The Fund anticipates investing approximately 40% of its assets in shares of the following Underlying Funds that invest primarily in fixed-income securities (“Underlying Fixed-Income Funds”) and (not to exceed 5% of total Fund assets) Underlying Funds that invest primarily in money market eligible securities:

Huntington Fixed Income Securities Fund,
Huntington VA Mortgage Securities Fund,
Huntington Money Market Fund, and
Huntington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund.

The Fund decides how to allocate assets to Underlying Funds based upon (i) the Advisor’s outlook for the markets in which each Underlying Fund invests, (ii) the asset composition and anticipated performance of each Underlying Fund, and (iii) other global economic factors.

Certain of the Underlying Funds invest in foreign securities and below investment-grade securities (junk bonds). In addition, certain of the Underlying Funds invest in securities of U.S. government-sponsored entities (“GSEs”), including GSE securities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary risks that may reduce the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and returns include:

Advisor’s Potential Conflict Risk. The Advisor is subject to conflicts of interest in allocating the Fund’s assets among the various Underlying Funds it has selected for the Fund both because the fees payable to it and/or its affiliates (primarily management fees) by some Underlying Funds are higher than the fees payable by other Underlying Funds and because the Advisor is also primarily responsible for managing the Underlying Funds.

Allocation Risk. Because the Fund’s assets will consist of approximately 60% in Underlying Equity Funds and 40% in Underlying Fixed-Income Funds/Underlying Money Market Funds, the Fund may underperform other funds which may invest all of their assets in a single asset class.

Counterparty Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if a security’s credit rating is downgraded; an issuer of an investment held by the Fund fails to pay an obligation on a timely basis, otherwise defaults or is perceived by other investors to be less creditworthy; or a counterparty to a derivatives or other transaction with the Fund files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to honor its obligation to the Fund.

Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Currency Risk. Securities denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in currency rates and by substantial currency conversion costs.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

Extension Risk. When interest rates rise, mortgage payments and anticipated prepayments may occur at a slower-than expected rate, thus effectively extending the maturity of mortgage-backed securities. Prices of longer-term securities generally fluctuate more widely in response to changes in interest rates than prices of shorter-term securities.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries.

Growth Investing Risk. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.

Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security’s maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline.

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which an Underlying Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell a security when it wants to, which could cause the Fund to continue to hold the security and thereby incur a loss.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, particularly those with complex or highly variable terms, such as CMOs, entail greater prepayment and liquidity risks than other fixed-income securities. As a result, their prices may be more volatile and their trading market may be more limited than that of other fixed income securities.

Non-Investment Grade Securities Risk. Fixed income securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater interest rate, liquidity and credit risks than investment grade securities.

Performance Risk. The investment performance of the Fund may be adversely affected if the Underlying Funds are unable to meet their investment objectives or the Fund allocates a significant portion of its assets to an Underlying Fund that performs poorly, including relative to other Underlying Funds.

Prepayment Risk. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage-backed securities may not rise as quickly as the prices of other fixed-income securities.

Value Investing Risk. Due to their low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. However, value stocks may lag behind growth stock in an up market.

For more information, please see “Principal Fund Investment Strategies and Risks” in this prospectus.

The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund’s total returns on a calendar year-by-year basis. The Average Annual Total Return table shows returns averaged over the stated periods compared with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund’s performance will fluctuate, and past performance is not necessarily an indication of future results.

The returns in the bar chart and the table below DO NOT reflect variable insurance separate account and contract fees and charges. If these fees and charges were included, the returns would be lower than those shown.

This table compares the Fund’s average annual total returns for the period ended 12/31/12 and since inception to those of Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500”) and the Balanced Indices Blend. The S&P 500 generally represents the performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The Balanced Indices Blend is a custom, blended index created by the Advisor and comprised of 60% S&P 500 and 40% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. This custom, blended index and its weightings are reflective of the Fund’s equity/fixed income allocation.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund normally pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities of companies whose geographical, political and/or demographic situs positions them to outperform other companies. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common stocks such as convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks which, if rated, will be investment-grade at the time of investment. If a security has not received a rating, the Fund must rely entirely upon the Advisor's credit assessment that the security is comparable to investment-grade. Under normal market conditions, the Advisor invests at least 80% of the Fund's assets in equity securities. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in the equity securities of foreign issuers. In managing the Fund's portfolio, the Advisor utilizes a screening process that identifies companies based on situs, which is one or more geographical locations that are positioned and likely to allow the companies to outperform those in other locations. Examples of situs advantages include favorable political, social or economic factors or population demographics. While the Fund may invest in companies of any size, smaller companies tend to be best positioned to outperform due to situs factors. The Advisor also employs fundamental analysis, valuation techniques, and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis focuses on qualitative aspects of the company's product, management, and competitive strategy. Valuation techniques include quantitative screens to review historical earnings, revenue, and cash flow. Technical analysis will be deployed as it relates to the timing of trading the securities.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include: Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value. Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money. Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to all of the risks of investing in foreign developed markets, emerging market securities involve risks attendant to less mature and stable governments and economies, lower trading volume, trading suspension, security price volatility, proceed repatriation restrictions, government confiscation, inflation, deflation, currency devaluation and adverse government regulations of industries or markets. As a result of these risks, the prices of emerging market securities tend to be more volatile than the securities of issuers located in developed markets. Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions. Foreign Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs Risk. Foreign custodial services are generally more expensive in foreign jurisdictions than in the United States. In addition, because the procedures for settling securities transactions in foreign markets differ from those in the United States, it may be more difficult for the Fund to make intended purchases and sales of securities in foreign countries. Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries. Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market. Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time. Mid/Small Cap Stock Risk. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

Huntington VA Growth Fund

Fund Summaries

Huntington VA Growth Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to achieve long-term capital appreciation primarily through investing in equity securities.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The table below and the Example that follows it DO NOT reflect variable insurance contract or separate account fees and charges. If these were included, your costs would be higher.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the
value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses	Huntington VA Growth Fund
Management Fees	0.60%
Other Expenses	0.37%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.97%

Example

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 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Examples

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Huntington VA Growth Fund	99	309	536	1,190

Portfolio Turnover

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. 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 140% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Advisor normally invests in common stock and other equity securities, such as preferred stock, of medium or large companies which it believes offer opportunities for growth.

In selecting investments, the Advisor reviews historical earnings, revenue and cash flow to identify the best companies in each industry and to evaluate the growth potential of these companies. The Advisor may also select companies based on a relative price to earnings growth methodology. The Advisor uses qualitative, quantitative and technical analysis in implementing these strategies. On an ongoing basis, the Advisor also monitors the Fund's existing positions to determine the benefits of retention of certain holdings.

The Fund actively trades its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include:

Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.

Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

Foreign Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs Risk. Foreign custodial services are generally more expensive in foreign jurisdictions than in the United States. In addition, because the procedures for settling securities transactions in foreign markets differ from those in the United States, it may be more difficult for the Fund to make intended purchases and sales of securities in foreign countries.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries.

Growth Investing Risk. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Mid/Small Cap Stock Risk. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thereby lowering its performance).

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to achieve current income.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The table below and the Example that follows it DO NOT reflect variable insurance contract or separate account fees and charges. If these were included, your costs would be higher.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses

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 the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.

Huntington VA Mortgage Securities Fund	112	350	606	1,340

Portfolio Turnover

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. 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 27% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Advisor invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's assets in mortgage-related securities, including mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs") (whose income is generated by payments of principal and interest on pools of mortgage loans and mortgage REITs). The Advisor especially focuses on securities which it expects to be less susceptible to prepayment of principal. The Advisor endeavors to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio life for the Fund of between two and ten years. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in equity REITs. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses incurred by REITs in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses incurred directly by the Fund.

In making its investment decisions, the Advisor considers various economic factors, Federal Reserve policy, interest rate trends and spreads between different types of fixed income securities.

REITs are pooled investment vehicles which invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interest. REITs are generally classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or a combination of equity and mortgage REITs.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include:

Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.

Class/Sector/Region Focus Risk. When the Fund invests more than 25% of its net assets in a particular asset class (such as real estate-related or commodities-related securities), or securities of issuers within a particular business sector or geographic region, it is subject to increased risk.

Counterparty Risk. The value of the Fund's investments may be adversely affected if a security's credit rating is downgraded; an issuer of an investment held by the Fund fails to pay an obligation on a timely basis, otherwise defaults or is perceived by other investors to be less creditworthy; or a counterparty to a derivatives or other transaction with the Fund files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to honor its obligation to the Fund.

Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Derivative Contracts and Hybrid Instruments Risk. Derivatives contracts and hybrid instruments involve risks different from, and possibly greater than, traditional investments, including valuation and tax issues, increased potential for losses and/or costs to the Fund, and interest rate, credit, currency, liquidity and leverage risks.

Extension Risk. When interest rates rise, anticipated prepayments may occur at a slower-than expected rate, thus effectively extending the maturity of mortgage-backed securities. Prices of longer-term securities generally fluctuate more widely in response to changes in interest rates than prices of shorter-term securities.

Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security's maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline.

Investment Company Risk. Mutual fund portfolios bear expenses for advisory fees and operational expenses. The Fund will bear these expenses as an investor in underlying funds and, as a result, investors in the Fund may bear higher expenses than a Fund that invests directly in equity or fixed income securities.

These estimated expenses of the Fund are disclosed in a separate line in the fee table (Annual Fund Operating Expenses).

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, particularly those with complex or highly variable terms, such as CMOs, entail greater prepayment and liquidity risks than other fixed-income securities. As a result, their prices may be more volatile and their trading market may be more limited than that of other fixed income securities.

Prepayment Risk. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage-backed securities may not rise as quickly as the prices of other fixed-income securities.

Real Estate/REIT Risk. The Fund's investment in REITs is subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate, including sensitivity to general economic downturns and the volatility of local real estate markets. REITs may have limited financial resources and their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume, and thus they may be more volatile than other securities.

For more information, please see "Principal Fund Investment Strategies and Risks" in this prospectus.

[1] Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee (based on average daily net assets) and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary in order to limit the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses (after the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, and exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends, and extraordinary expenses) to not more than 1.00% of the Fund's daily net assets through April 30, 2014. Under certain conditions, the Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed under these arrangements for a period of three years following the fiscal year in which such reimbursement occurred.

The Advisor will also frequently purchase stocks in the short period prior to the ex-dividend date (the interval between the announcement and the payments of the next dividend) which increases the amount of trading costs the Fund will incur. The Fund generally invests in mature, middle and large-capitalization U.S. corporations. Quantitative analysis is used to identify stocks that the Advisor believes are undervalued relative to the market and to the security’s historic valuations. The Advisor then uses a qualitative stock selection model based on earnings expectations and supplemental valuation measures to narrow the list of stocks to the most attractive.

An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and returns include: Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value. Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money. Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition and on market and economic conditions. Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security’s maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline. Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market. Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time. Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thereby lowering its performance). Real Estate/REIT Risk. The Fund’s investment in REITs is subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate, including sensitivity to general economic downturns and the volatility of local real estate markets. REITs may have limited financial resources and their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume, and thus they may be more volatile than other securities.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Advisor invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's assets in mortgage-related securities, including mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs") (whose income is generated by payments of principal and interest on pools of mortgage loans and mortgage REITs). The Advisor especially focuses on securities which it expects to be less susceptible to prepayment of principal. The Advisor endeavors to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio life for the Fund of between two and ten years. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in equity REITs. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses incurred by REITs in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses incurred directly by the Fund. In making its investment decisions, the Advisor considers various economic factors, Federal Reserve policy, interest rate trends and spreads between different types of fixed income securities. REITs are pooled investment vehicles which invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interest. REITs are generally classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or a combination of equity and mortgage REITs.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include: Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value. Class/Sector/Region Focus Risk. When the Fund invests more than 25% of its net assets in a particular asset class (such as real estate-related or commodities-related securities), or securities of issuers within a particular business sector or geographic region, it is subject to increased risk. Counterparty Risk. The value of the Fund's investments may be adversely affected if a security's credit rating is downgraded; an issuer of an investment held by the Fund fails to pay an obligation on a timely basis, otherwise defaults or is perceived by other investors to be less creditworthy; or a counterparty to a derivatives or other transaction with the Fund files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to honor its obligation to the Fund. Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money. Derivative Contracts and Hybrid Instruments Risk. Derivatives contracts and hybrid instruments involve risks different from, and possibly greater than, traditional investments, including valuation and tax issues, increased potential for losses and/or costs to the Fund, and interest rate, credit, currency, liquidity and leverage risks. Extension Risk. When interest rates rise, anticipated prepayments may occur at a slower-than expected rate, thus effectively extending the maturity of mortgage-backed securities. Prices of longer-term securities generally fluctuate more widely in response to changes in interest rates than prices of shorter-term securities. Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security's maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline. Investment Company Risk. Mutual fund portfolios bear expenses for advisory fees and operational expenses. The Fund will bear these expenses as an investor in underlying funds and, as a result, investors in the Fund may bear higher expenses than a Fund that invests directly in equity or fixed income securities. These estimated expenses of the Fund are disclosed in a separate line in the fee table (Annual Fund Operating Expenses). Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, particularly those with complex or highly variable terms, such as CMOs, entail greater prepayment and liquidity risks than other fixed-income securities. As a result, their prices may be more volatile and their trading market may be more limited than that of other fixed income securities. Prepayment Risk. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage-backed securities may not rise as quickly as the prices of other fixed-income securities. Real Estate/REIT Risk. The Fund's investment in REITs is subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate, including sensitivity to general economic downturns and the volatility of local real estate markets. REITs may have limited financial resources and their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume, and thus they may be more volatile than other securities.

Huntington VA Mid Corp America Fund

Fund Summaries

Huntington VA Mid Corp America Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of securities consisting of common stocks and securities convertible into common stocks such as convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The table below and the Example that follows it DO NOT reflect variable insurance contract or separate account fees and charges. If these were included, your costs would be higher.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the
value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		Huntington VA Mid Corp America Fund
Management Fees		0.60%
Other Expenses	[1]	0.35%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		0.95%

Example

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 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Examples

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Huntington VA Mid Corp America Fund	97	303	525	1,166

Portfolio Turnover

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. 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 29% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in common stocks of mid-cap companies. Mid-cap companies are those companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase in the range of companies in the Russell Midcap Index ("RMCI") or the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index ("S&P 400"). As of May 31, 2012, the companies in the RMCI had a market capitalization range of approximately $1.4 billion to $17.4 billion. As of June 29, 2012, the companies in the S&P 400 had a market capitalization range of approximately $380 million to $11.8 billion. In managing the Fund's portfolio, the Advisor emphasizes mid-cap companies with above-average growth potential or with temporarily depressed prices. Evaluation techniques the Advisor typically uses in selecting individual securities include fundamental analysis, valuation techniques, and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis will focus on qualitative aspects of the company's product, management, and competitive strategy. Valuation techniques include quantitative screens to review historical earnings, revenue, and cash flow. Technical analysis will be deployed as it relates to the timing of trading the securities. The Fund may also invest in convertible bonds and convertible preferred stocks.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include:

Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.

Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security's maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline.

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Mid/Small Cap Stock Risk. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

For more information, please see "Principal Fund Investment Strategies and Risks" in this prospectus.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Advisor normally invests primarily in equity securities and under normal circumstances invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities, such as common stock and preferred stock. At least 65% of the Fund's total assets will be invested in income-producing equity securities. The Advisor may invest in preferred stocks or corporate debt obligations convertible into common stock. As an additional income source, the Advisor also may invest in investment-grade corporate debt obligations. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in debt obligations rated below investment-grade, also known as "junk bonds" (securities rated below BBB by Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's).

In addition to evaluating the current yield of a security, the Advisor considers dividend growth to be an important factor in selecting investments for the Fund. The Advisor also selects securities which it believes will maintain or increase the Fund's current income while maintaining a price/earnings ratio below the market.

The Fund may actively trade its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include:

Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.

Counterparty Risk. The value of the Fund's investments may be adversely affected if a security's credit rating is downgraded; an issuer of an investment held by the Fund fails to pay an obligation on a timely basis, otherwise defaults or is perceived by other investors to be less creditworthy; or a counterparty to a derivatives or other transaction with the Fund files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to honor its obligation to the Fund.

Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security's maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund's investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline.

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell a security when it wants to, which could cause the Fund to continue to hold the security and thereby incur a loss.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Non-Investment Grade Securities Risk. Fixed income securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater interest rate, liquidity and credit risks than investment grade securities.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thereby lowering its performance).

Performance

The performance information shown below will help you analyze the Fund’s investment risks in light of its historical returns. The bar chart shows the variability of the Fund’s total returns on a calendar year-by-year basis. The Average Annual Total Return table shows returns averaged over the stated periods compared with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund’s performance will fluctuate, and past performance is not necessarily an indication of future results.

The returns in the bar chart and the table below DO NOT reflect variable insurance separate account and contract fees and charges. If these fees and charges were included, the returns would be lower than those shown.

Huntington VA International Equity Fund

Fund Summaries

Huntington VA International Equity Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return on its assets.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The table below and the Example that follows it DO NOT reflect variable insurance contract or separate account fees and charges. If these were included, your costs would be higher.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the
value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses		Huntington VA International Equity Fund
Management Fees		0.60%
Other Expenses		0.40%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses		0.05%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		1.05%
Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements	[1]	(0.05%)
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements		1.00%

Example

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 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Examples

Expense Example (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Huntington VA International Equity Fund	102	329	575	1,278

Expense Example, No Redemption (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Huntington VA International Equity Fund	107	334	579	1,283

Portfolio Turnover

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. 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 25% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund normally pursues its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities, and at least 65% of its assets in companies based outside the United States. The Advisor manages the Fund based on the view that international equity markets are inefficient at pricing securities and that careful security selection offers the best potential for superior long-term investment returns. The Advisor uses a "bottom-up" approach to stock selection (searching for outstanding performance of individual stocks before considering the impact of economic trends) and evaluates industry and country exposure to be consistent with a top-down approach. The Advisor attempts to purchase securities with value characteristics consistent with an overall assessment of the economic environment in which the underlying company operates and the overall growth in the company's economic value.

The Fund will not invest more than 20% of its assets in companies located in emerging markets. In determining which markets are emerging markets, the Advisor will look at whether the market is large and liquid enough that trading is readily available, and that the management of the market itself has a history of meeting global norms of transparency.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include:

Currency Risk. Securities denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in currency rates and by substantial currency conversion costs.

Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to all of the risks of investing in foreign developed markets, emerging market securities involve risks attendant to less mature and stable governments and economies, lower trading volume, trading suspension, security price volatility, proceed repatriation restrictions, government confiscation, inflation, deflation, currency devaluation and adverse government regulations of industries or markets. As a result of these risks, the prices of emerging market securities tend to be more volatile than the securities of issuers located in developed markets.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

Foreign Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs Risk. Foreign custodial services are generally more expensive in foreign jurisdictions than in the United States. In addition, because the procedures for settling securities transactions in foreign markets differ from those in the United States, it may be more difficult for the Fund to make intended purchases and sales of securities in foreign countries.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries.

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell a security when it wants to, which could cause the Fund to continue to hold the security and thereby incur a loss.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

For more information, please see "Principal Fund Investment Strategies and Risks" in this prospectus.

Performance

The performance information shown below will help you analyze the Fund's investment risks in light of its historical returns.

The Average Annual Total Return table shows returns averaged over the stated periods compared with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund's performance will fluctuate, and past performance is not necessarily an indication of future results.

The returns in the bar chart and the table below DO NOT reflect variable insurance separate account and contract fees and charges. If these fees and charges were included, the returns would be lower than those shown.

[1] Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee (based on average daily net assets) and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary in order to limit the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses (after the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, and exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends, and extraordinary expenses) to not more than 1.00% of the Fund's daily net assets through April 30, 2014. Under certain conditions, the Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed under these arrangements for a period of three years following the fiscal year in which such reimbursement occurred.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Advisor normally invests in common stock and other equity securities, such as preferred stock, of medium or large companies which it believes offer opportunities for growth. In selecting investments, the Advisor reviews historical earnings, revenue and cash flow to identify the best companies in each industry and to evaluate the growth potential of these companies. The Advisor may also select companies based on a relative price to earnings growth methodology. The Advisor uses qualitative, quantitative and technical analysis in implementing these strategies. On an ongoing basis, the Advisor also monitors the Fund's existing positions to determine the benefits of retention of certain holdings. The Fund actively trades its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and returns include: Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value. Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money. Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on market and economic conditions. Foreign Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs Risk. Foreign custodial services are generally more expensive in foreign jurisdictions than in the United States. In addition, because the procedures for settling securities transactions in foreign markets differ from those in the United States, it may be more difficult for the Fund to make intended purchases and sales of securities in foreign countries.

To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries. Growth Investing Risk. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return. Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market. Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time. Mid/Small Cap Stock Risk. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies. Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thereby lowering its performance).
