Portfolio Turnover [Heading] rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading Portfolio Turnover.
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 64% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund invests primarily in equity securities.

         In complying with the 80% investment requirement, the Fund may include synthetic securities that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement. The Fund may also invest in debt securities including U.S. Treasury and agency bonds and notes.

         The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related issuer if at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate. These issuers include (i) REITs or other real estate operating issuers that (a) own property, (b) make or invest in short term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and (ii) issuers whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.

         The Fund may invest in equity and debt securities of issuers unrelated to the real estate industry that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued and have potential for growth of capital. The Fund limits its investments in debt securities unrelated to the real estate industry to those that are investment-grade or deemed by the Fund’s portfolio managers to be of comparable quality.

         The Fund may invest in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate-related issuers.

         The Fund may engage in short sales of securities. A short sale occurs when the Fund sells a security, but does not deliver a security it owns when the sale settles. Instead, it borrows that security for delivery when the sale settles. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns (short sales against the box) or securities it does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns (short sales against the box). The Fund will not sell a security short, if as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets.

         When constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers use a fundamentals driven investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as real property market cycle analysis, real property evaluation and management and structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions, and (iii) attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.

         The portfolio managers and investment team focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers. Some of the fundamental factors that are evaluated in screening potential investments for the Fund include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property locations, physical attributes and cash flow generating capacity of an issuer’s properties and calculating relative return potential, asset quality, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing and fixed charge coverage ratios. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental attributes are then screened according to pricing factors that allow the management team to assess security valuations relative to one another and relative to the investment teams’ assessment of underlying asset value. The portfolio managers also consider the relative liquidity of each security in the construction of the Fund.

         The portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics similar to the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index (the benchmark index). The Fund seeks to limit risk through various controls, such as diversifying the portfolio property types and geographic areas as well as by limiting the size of any one holding. Various factors may lead to overweighting or underweighting of particular property types and/or geographic areas from time to time.

         The portfolio managers will consider selling a security if they conclude (1) its relative valuation falls below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile changes significantly, (3) its fundamentals change, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

         Concentration Risk. To the extent the Fund invests a greater amount in any one sector or industry, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or industry, and there is increased risk to the Fund if conditions adversely affect that sector or industry.

         Credit Risk. The issuer of instruments in which the Fund invests may be unable to meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.

         High Yield Bond (Junk Bond) Risk. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The values of junk bonds fluctuate more than those of high-quality bonds in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments. Values of junk bonds can decline significantly over short periods of time.

         Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration.

         Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

         Market Risk. The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

         REIT Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies of real estate related to the Fund’s holdings. Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small and mid cap companies, and their shares may be more volatile and less liquid. The value of investments in real estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management, the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults, the Fund may own real estate directly, which involves the following additional risks: environmental liabilities, difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate, and economic or regulatory changes.

         Short Sales Risk. Short sales may cause the Fund to repurchase a security at a higher price, causing a loss. As there is no limit on how much the price of the security can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited.

         Synthetic Securities Risk. Fluctuations in the values of synthetic securities may not correlate perfectly with the instruments they are designed to replicate. Synthetic securities may be subject to interest rate changes, market price fluctuations, counterparty risk and liquidity risk.

         U.S. Government Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in obligations issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities that may receive varying levels of support from the government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default.
Risk Lose Money [Text] rr_RiskLoseMoney As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing.
Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Text] rr_RiskNotInsuredDepositoryInstitution An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
