Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.  During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 272% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock
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, that dividends and distributions are reinvested, and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock
The Fund under normal market conditions invests at least 80% of its net assets in the common stocks of “growth” companies that, in the view of the Fund’s investment adviser, are well-established in their industries and have a minimum market capitalization of at least $1 billion at the time of initial purchase (these companies are commonly referred to as “blue chip” companies).  The Fund invests in securities of both domestic and foreign “blue chip” growth companies, in any industry, with the Fund’s investments in foreign companies generally being effected through American Depositary Receipts or “ADRs,” which are dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers traded in the U.S.  The Fund may invest in ADRs through both sponsored and unsponsored arrangements.  Although the Fund does not concentrate its investments in any industry, it may focus its investments from time to time on one or more economic sectors, including the technology sector and the consumer discretionary sector.

The Fund’s investment adviser bases investment decisions on company-specific factors (bottom-up investment approach) and general economic conditions (top-down investment approach).  When purchasing “blue chip” growth companies for the Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser looks for companies that have some or all of the following attributes:

 
•
a presence in expanding industries
 
•
a superior and pragmatic growth strategy
 
•
proprietary products, processes or services
 
•
a potential for above-average unit and earnings growth

In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund has the discretion to purchase some securities that do not meet its normal investment criteria.  In particular, the Fund may invest in companies that are not now “blue chip” companies, but which the Fund’s investment adviser believes have the potential to become “blue chip” companies.  These include:

 
•
leading companies in smaller industries
 
•
lesser known companies moving from a lower to a higher market share position within their industry group

The Fund’s investment adviser will generally sell a portfolio security when the investment adviser believes:

 
•
the security has achieved its value potential
 
•
changing fundamentals signal a deteriorating value potential
 
•
other securities have a better performance potential

While this sell discipline may result in higher annual portfolio turnover rates for the Fund, it also causes the Fund to keep seeking better alternatives.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
Investors in the Fund may lose money.  There are risks associated with investments in the types of securities in which the Fund invests.  These risks include:

 
•
Market Risk – The prices of the stocks in which the Fund invests may decline for a number of reasons. These reasons include factors that are specific to one or more stocks in which the Fund invests as well as factors that affect the equity securities markets generally. The price declines may be steep, sudden and/or prolonged.
     
 
•
Growth Investing Risk – The investment adviser may be wrong in its assessment of a company’s potential for growth and the growth stocks the Fund holds may not grow as the investment adviser anticipates. Finally, there are periods when investing in growth stocks falls out of favor with investors and these stocks may underperform.
     
 
•
Technology Companies Risk – Technology companies may be subject to greater business risks and may be more sensitive to changes in economic conditions than other companies. The earnings of technology companies may fluctuate more than those of other companies because of short product cycles (technological obsolescence) and competitive pricing. Finally, there are periods when investing in stocks of technology companies falls out of favor with investors and these stocks may underperform.
     
 
•
Consumer Discretionary Companies Risk – The success of consumer product manufacturers and retailers is tied closely to the performance of the overall domestic and international economy, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence. The earnings of such companies may also be closely tied to disposable household income and consumer spending.
     
 
•
Medium Capitalization Companies Risk – There is a risk that the securities of medium capitalization companies may have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than securities of large capitalization companies, which can negatively affect the Fund’s ability to sell these securities at quoted market prices.
     
 
•
Smaller Capitalization Companies Risk – Small capitalization companies typically have relatively lower revenues, limited product lines and lack of management depth, and may have a smaller share of the market for their products or services, than large and medium capitalization companies.  There is a risk that the securities of small capitalization companies may have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than securities of large and medium capitalization companies, which can negatively affect the Fund’s ability to sell these securities at quoted market prices.  Finally, there are periods when investing in small capitalization company stocks falls out of favor with investors and these stocks may underperform.

     
 
•
Foreign Securities Risk – There are specific risks associated with investing in the securities of foreign companies, whether directly or in ADRs, not typically associated with investing in domestic companies.  Risks include fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies that may affect the U.S. Dollar value of a security, and the possibility of substantial price volatility as a result of political and economic instability in the foreign country.  The value of foreign securities and ADRs may change materially at times when U.S. markets are not open for trading. Further, with regard to the Fund’s investments in ADRs, ADRs may not track the price of the underlying securities.
     
 
•
Portfolio Turnover Risk – High portfolio turnover necessarily results in greater transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions, which the Fund must pay and short-term capital gains (or losses) to investors.  Greater transaction costs may reduce Fund performance.  Distributions to shareholders of short-term capital gains are taxed as ordinary income under current federal income tax laws.
     
 
•
Liquidity Risk – Liquidity risk is the risk, due to certain investments trading in lower volumes or to market and economic conditions, that the Fund may be unable to find a buyer for its investments when it seeks to sell them or to receive the price it expects based on the Fund’s valuation of the investments. Events that may lead to increased redemptions, such as market disruptions, may also negatively impact the liquidity of the Fund’s investments when it needs to dispose of them. If the Fund is forced to sell its investments at an unfavorable time and/or under adverse conditions in order to meet redemption requests, such sales could negatively affect the Fund. Liquidity issues may also make it difficult to value the Fund’s investments.

Because of these risks the Fund is a suitable investment only for those investors who have long-term investment goals and who are comfortable with an investment that will fluctuate in value.
