Expense Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock

The tables below describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in Class A shares of eligible funds that are part of the family of mutual funds sponsored by Allianz. More information about these and other discounts is available in the “Classes of Shares” section beginning on page 124 of the Fund’s prospectus or from your financial advisor.

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). The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was 141%. High levels of portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes for you if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples above, can adversely affect the Fund’s investment performance.

Portfolio Turnover, Rate rr_PortfolioTurnoverRate 141.00%
Expenses Restated to Reflect Current [Text] rr_ExpensesRestatedToReflectCurrent "Management Fees" reflect the combination of investment advisory fees and administrative fees paid by the Fund to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC ("AGIFM") under separate agreements. Fee rates are based on amounts incurred and fund asset levels during the last fiscal year and, where applicable, advisory fees have been restated to reflect current fee rates.
Expense Example [Heading] rr_ExpenseExampleHeading Examples.
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock

 The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the noted class of shares for the time periods indicated, your investment has a 5% return each year, and the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Examples also assume conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after seven years. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

Expense Example by, Year, Caption [Text] rr_ExpenseExampleByYearCaption Example: Assuming you redeem your shares at the end of each period

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies with market capitalizations of at least $1 billion. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in non-U.S. securities (but no more than 10% in any one non-U.S. country or 10% in emerging market securities). At times, depending on market and other conditions, the Fund may also invest a significant percentage of its assets in a small number of business sectors or industries. The portfolio managers normally select 25 to 45 large cap growth stocks for the Fund’s portfolio.


The portfolio managers attempt to include in the Fund’s portfolio securities that exhibit the greatest combination of earnings growth potential, quality (as reflected in consistent business fundamentals) and attractive valuation. The portfolio managers ordinarily look for several of the following characteristics when analyzing specific companies for possible investment: higher than average growth and strong potential for capital appreciation; substantial capacity for growth in revenue, cash flow or earnings through either an expanding market or expanding market share; a strong balance sheet; superior management; strong commitment to research and product development; and differentiated or superior products and services or a steady stream of new products and services. In addition to common stocks and other equity securities (such as preferred stocks, convertible securities and warrants), the Fund may utilize foreign currency exchange contracts, options, stock index futures contracts and other derivative instruments. Although the Fund did not invest significantly in derivative instruments as of the most recent fiscal year end, it may do so at any time.

Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return, are (in alphabetical order after the first three risks):


Market Risk: The Fund will be affected by factors influencing the U.S. or global economies and securities markets or relevant industries or sectors within them.


Issuer Risk: The Fund will be affected by factors specific to the issuers of securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, including actual or perceived changes in the financial condition or business prospects of such issuers.


Equity Securities Risk: Equity securities may react more strongly to changes in an issuer’s financial condition or prospects than other securities of the same issuer.


Credit and Counterparty Risk: An issuer or counterparty may default on obligations.


Currency Risk: The values of non-U.S. securities may fluctuate with currency exchange rates and exposure to non-U.S. currencies may subject the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar.


Derivatives Risk: Derivative instruments are complex, have different characteristics than their underlying assets and are subject to additional risks, including leverage, liquidity and valuation.


Emerging Markets Risk: Non-U.S. investment risk may be particularly high to the extent that the Fund invests in emerging market securities. These securities may present market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political, technical and other risks different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in developed countries.


Focused Investment Risk: Focusing on a limited number of issuers, sectors, industries or geographic regions increases risk and volatility.


Leveraging Risk: Instruments and transactions that constitute leverage magnify gains or losses and increase volatility.


Liquidity Risk: The lack of an active market for investments may cause delay in disposition or force a sale below fair value.


Management Risk: The Fund will be affected by the allocation determinations, investment decisions and techniques of the Fund’s management.


Non-U.S. Investment Risk: Non-U.S. securities markets and issuers may be more volatile, smaller, less liquid, less transparent and subject to less oversight, particularly in emerging markets.


Turnover Risk: High levels of portfolio turnover increase transaction costs and taxes and may lower investment performance.

Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] rr_BarChartAndPerformanceTableHeading Performance Information
Performance Narrative [Text Block] rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

The performance information below provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its total return from year to year and by comparing the Fund’s average annual total returns with those of a broad-based market index and a performance average of similar mutual funds. The bar chart and the information to its right show performance of the Fund’s Class A shares, but do not reflect the impact of sales charges (loads). If they did, returns would be lower than those shown. Class B, Class C and Class R performance would be lower than Class A performance because of the lower expenses paid by Class A shares. Performance in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflects the impact of sales charges. For periods prior to the inception date of a share class, performance information shown for such class may be based on the performance of an older class of shares that dates back to the Fund’s inception, as adjusted to reflect certain fees and expenses paid by the newer class. These adjustments generally result in estimated performance results for the newer class that are higher or lower than the actual results of the predecessor class due to differing levels of fees and expenses paid. Details regarding the calculation of the Fund’s class-by-class performance, including a discussion of any performance adjustments, are provided under “Additional Performance Information” in the Fund’s prospectus and SAI. Prior to September 24, 2012, the Fund was managed by a different sub-adviser pursuant to a different investment strategy and would not necessarily have achieved the performance results shown below under its current investment strategy. Past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily predictive of future performance. Visit us.allianzgi.com for more current performance information.
