Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock The Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of high-quality, tax-exempt securities maturing in 5 business days or less. The Fund will invest its assets so that distributions of annual interest income are exempt from federal regular income tax. The Fund’s investment adviser (“Adviser”) also normally will invest the Fund’s assets entirely in securities whose interest is not subject to (or not a specific preference item for purposes of) the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals (AMT), such that distributions of annual interest income are also exempt from the AMT. However, in certain circumstances (such as, for example, when there is a lack of supply of non-AMT or other tax-exempt securities or there are advantageous market conditions, or if there are changes in the tax laws relating to AMT), to pursue the Fund’s investment objective, the Adviser may leave a portion of the Fund’s assets uninvested, or may invest the Fund’s assets in securities the interest from which may be subject to AMT, state and/or federal income tax. These acquisitions may occur in the ordinary course or in connection with Fund reorganization transactions (i.e., transactions in which the Fund acquires the portfolio securities of other mutual funds) or another event or circumstance. The Adviser actively manages the Fund’s portfolio, seeking to limit the credit risk taken by the Fund and to select investments with appropriate risk-adjusted returns.Although the Fund is a money market fund, the net asset value (NAV) of the Fund’s shares will “float,” fluctuating with changes in the values of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Although the Fund is a floating net asset value money market fund and its share price will fluctuate, by investing in high quality securities with maturities of 5 business days or less, typically maintaining a weighted average portfolio maturity of approximately 7 days or less and using amortized cost to value such securities when available, the Fund seeks to minimize the volatility of its NAV.Tax-exempt securities are fixed-income securities that, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer or on the basis of another authority believed by the Adviser to be reliable, pay interest that is not subject to federal regular income taxes. The types of securities in which the Fund may principally invest include: (a) tax-exempt securities such as the following types, some of which may be subject to credit enhancement: variable rate demand instruments, municipal notes, general obligation bonds, special revenue bonds, private activity bonds, and tax-exempt commercial paper; and (b) interests in securities of other investment companies.In pursuing its investment objective and implementing its investment strategies, the Fund will comply with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Rule 2a-7”).Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest its assets so that at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) are invested in securities the income of which will be exempt from federal regular income tax. This policy may not be changed without shareholder approval.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading <span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:8.5pt;font-weight:bold;">What are the Main Risks of Investing in the Fund?</span>
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock Pursuant to Rule 2a-7, the Fund is designated as an “institutional” money market fund and is required to utilize current market-based prices (except as otherwise permitted to value individual portfolio securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at amortized cost in accordance with SEC guidance) to value its portfolio securities and transact at a floating net asset value (NAV) that uses four-decimal-place precision ($1.0000). In addition, the Fund has adopted policies and procedures to impose liquidity fees on redemptions and/or temporary redemption gates in the event the Fund’s weekly liquid assets were to fall below a designated threshold, if the Fund’s Board determines such liquidity fees or redemption gates are in the best interest of the Fund.As an institutional money market fund, the Fund will not be limited to institutional investors, but will continue to be available to retail investors as well.All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a money market fund, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV, delay the payment of redemptions by the Fund, or reduce the Fund’s returns include:■ Tax-Exempt Securities Risk. The securities in which the Fund invests may include those issued by state or local governments, other political subdivisions or authorities, or directly or indirectly supported by taxes, assessments, tolls, fees or other revenue collected by or otherwise derived from or through such issuers. Special factors, such as legislative changes, and state and local economic and business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or value of the Fund’s investments in tax-exempt securities.■ Issuer Credit Risk. It is possible that interest or principal on securities will not be paid when due. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing higher-quality securities.■ Counterparty Credit Risk. A party to a transaction involving the Fund may fail to meet its obligations. This could cause the Fund to lose money or to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent the Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategies.■ Risk Related to the Economy. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decline in tandem with a drop in the overall value of the markets in which the Fund invests and/or other markets. Economic, political and financial conditions, industry or economic trends and developments or public health risks, such as epidemics or pandemics, may, from time to time, and for varying periods of time, cause the Fund to experience volatility, illiquidity, shareholder redemptions or other potentially adverse effects.■ Interest Rate Risk. Prices of fixed-income securities (including tax-exempt securities) generally fall when interest rates rise. Recent and potential future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments are likely to affect the level of interest rates. Very low or negative interest rates magnify interest rate risk. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the Fund’s yield (and total return) also is likely to be lower or the Fund may be unable to maintain a positive return, or yield.■ Call Risk. The Fund’s performance may be adversely affected by the possibility that an issuer of a security held by the Fund may redeem the security prior to maturity at a price below or above its current market value.■ Sector Risk. A substantial part of the Fund’s portfolio may be comprised of securities issued or credit enhanced by businesses with similar characteristics or by issuers located in the same state. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other developments which generally affect these issuers or entities.■ Tax Risk. In order to be tax exempt, tax-exempt securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the Fund to shareholders to be taxable. The Fund may invest in securities whose interest is subject to state tax, federal regular income tax or AMT. Consult your tax professional for more information.■ Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will experience significant net redemptions of Fund Shares at a time when it cannot find willing buyers for its portfolio securities or can only sell its portfolio securities at a material loss.■ Credit Enhancement Risk. The securities in which the Fund invests may be subject to credit enhancement (for example, guarantees, letters of credit or bond insurance). If the credit quality of the credit enhancement provider (for example, a bank or bond insurer) is downgraded, a security credit enhanced by such credit enhancement provider also may be downgraded. Having multiple securities credit enhanced by the same enhancement provider will increase the adverse effects on the Fund that are likely to result from a downgrading of, or a default by, such an enhancement provider. Adverse developments in the banking or bond insurance industries also may negatively affect the Fund, as the Fund may invest in securities credit enhanced by banks or by bond insurers without limit.■ Risk Associated with Investing Share Purchase Proceeds. On days during which there are net purchases of Fund Shares, the Fund must invest the proceeds at prevailing market yields or hold cash. If the yield of the securities purchased is less than that of the securities already in the Fund’s portfolio, or if the Fund holds cash, the Fund’s yield will likely decrease. Conversely, net purchases on days on which short-term yields rise will likely cause the Fund’s yield to increase. In the event of significant changes in short-term yields or significant net purchases, the Fund retains the discretion to close to new investments. However, the Fund is not required to close, and no assurance can be given that this will be done in any given circumstance.■ Risk Associated with use of Amortized Cost. Under existing SEC guidance, the Fund will value its individual portfolio securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less using its amortized cost price when such price is approximately the same (as determined by policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”)) as its fair market price (“shadow price”). If a security’s shadow price is not approximately the same as its amortized cost price, the Fund will generally use the shadow price to value that security. In such cases, the use of the shadow price could cause the Fund’s NAV to fluctuate. See “Floating Net Asset Value Money Market Risk” below.■ Additional Factors Affecting Yield. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide a certain level of income or that any such income will exceed the rate of inflation. Further, the Fund’s yield will vary. Periods of very low or negative interest rates impact, in a negative way, the Fund’s ability to maintain a positive return, or yield, or pay dividends to Fund shareholders.■ Floating Net Asset Value Money Market Risk. The Fund will not maintain a constant NAV per share. The value of the Fund’s shares will be calculated to four decimal places and will fluctuate reflecting the value of the portfolio of investments held by the Fund. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.■ Fees & Gates Risk. The Fund has adopted policies and procedures such that the Fund will be able to impose liquidity fees on redemptions and/or temporarily suspend redemptions for up to 10 business days in any 90 day period in the event that the Fund’s weekly liquid assets were to fall below a designated threshold, subject to a determination by the Fund’s Board that such a liquidity fee or redemption gate is in the Fund’s best interest. If the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Fund may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or temporarily suspend redemptions, if the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, determines that imposing a liquidity fee or temporarily suspending redemptions is in the Fund’s best interest. In addition, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, determines that imposing such fee is not in the best interests of the Fund.■ Technology Risk. The Adviser uses various technologies in managing the Fund, consistent with its investment objective(s) and strategy described in this Prospectus. For example, proprietary and third-party data and systems are utilized to support decision making for the Fund. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems, which may negatively affect Fund performance.You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Because the share price of the Fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. The Fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.
