Portfolio Turnover [Heading]rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeadingPortfolio Turnover
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlockThe Fund pays transaction costs 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 121% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund invests in various types of income producing debt securities including mortgage- and asset-backed securities, government and agency obligations, and corporate obligations. The Fund may invest in debt obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including investment grade rated emerging market debt. The Fund's investment in non-U.S. issuers may at times be significant. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade fixed income securities. These securities will be chosen from the broad universe of available fixed income securities rated investment grade by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service or Fitch Ratings or unrated securities that the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC ("Seix" or the "Subadviser"), believes are of comparable quality. A security’s rating will be governed by the Barclays Capital methodology as follows. When all three rating agencies provide a rating, Seix will assign the middle rating of the three. If only two of the three rating agencies rate the security, Seix will assign the lowest rating. If only one rating agency assigns a rating, Seix will use that rating. The Fund can hold up to 5% of its net assets in securities that are downgraded below investment grade. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities that are restricted as to resale.

The Subadviser anticipates that the Fund’s modified adjusted duration will generally range from 3 to 6 years, similar to that of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s comparative benchmark. Duration measures a bond or Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes and is expressed as a number of years. The higher the number, the greater the risk. Under normal circumstances, for example, if a portfolio has a duration of five years, its value will change by 5% if rates change by 1%. Shorter duration bonds result in lower expected volatility. In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser generally selects a greater weighting in corporate obligations and mortgage-backed securities relative to the Fund’s comparative benchmark, and a lower relative weighting in U.S. Treasury and government agency issues.

In addition, to implement its investment strategy, the Fund may utilize Exchange Traded Futures to manage interest rate exposures. The Fund may also utilize Treasury Inflation Protected Securities ("TIPS") opportunistically. The Fund will not buy or sell any other types of derivative instruments (such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps, including credit default swaps, OTC futures, credit linked notes, options, inverse floaters and warrants). The Fund may count the value of Exchange Traded Futures and TIPS towards its policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

You may lose money if you invest in the Fund. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer’s financial condition and on the terms of the securities. Debt securities are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are debt instruments that are secured by interests in pools of mortgage loans or other financial assets. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the assets underlying such securities, swings in interest rates, changes in default rates, or deteriorating economic conditions. During periods of declining asset values, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or illiquid. The risk of default is generally higher in the case of securities backed by loans made to borrowers with “sub-prime” credit metrics.

If market interest rates increase substantially and the Fund’s adjustable-rate securities are not able to reset to market interest rates during any one adjustment period, the value of the Fund’s holdings and its net asset value may decline until the adjustable-rate securities are able to reset to market rates. In the event of a dramatic increase in interest rates, the lifetime limit on a security’s interest rate may prevent the rate from adjusting to prevailing market rates. In such an event the security could underperform and affect the Fund’s net asset value.

Prepayment and Call Risk: During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund may “call” or prepay the bond before its stated maturity date. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decline in the Fund’s income.

Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities involve special risks such as currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information and unfavorable political or legal developments and delays in enforcement of rights. These risks are increased for investments in emerging markets.

Futures Contract Risk: The risks associated with futures include: the Subadviser’s ability to manage these instruments, the potential inability to terminate or sell a position and the lack of a liquid secondary market for the Fund’s position.

Leverage Risk: The use of exchange traded futures may create leveraging risk. Leverage may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

U.S. Government Issuers Risk: U.S. Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of its Treasury obligations to decline. Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit, but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income market as a whole.

Strategy [Heading]rr_StrategyHeadingPrincipal Investment Strategies

The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of U.S. dollar denominated corporate obligations and other fixed income securities that are rated BBB-/Baa3 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service or Fitch Ratings or unrated securities that the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix” or the “Subadviser”), believes are of comparable quality. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in corporate bonds. The Fund may also invest in U.S. Treasury and agency obligations. The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar denominated obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that are restricted as to resale.

The Fund will maintain an overall credit quality of A- or better. Securities downgraded below BBB-/Baa3 after purchase by all agencies that rate the securities can be retained so long as in the aggregate securities that are rated below BBB-/Baa3 do not constitute more than 10% of the Fund’s total net assets.

The Subadviser attempts to identify investment grade corporate bonds offering above average total return. In selecting corporate debt investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser seeks out companies with good fundamentals and above average return prospects that are currently priced at attractive levels. The primary basis for security selection is the potential income offered by the security relative to the Subadviser’s assessment of the issuer’s ability to generate the cash flow required to meet its obligations. The Subadviser employs a “bottom-up” approach, identifying investment opportunities based on the underlying financial and economic fundamentals of the specific issuer.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

You may lose money if you invest in the Fund. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Below Investment Grade Securities Risk: Securities that are rated below investment grade (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”), including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard and Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. or “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc.), or that are unrated but judged by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality, at the time of purchase, involve greater risk of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities. Below investment grade securities may also be less liquid than higher quality securities, and may cause income and principal losses for the Fund.

Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer’s financial condition and on the terms of the securities. Debt securities are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities.

Foreign Companies Risk: Dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers involve special risks such as economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information and unfavorable political or legal developments.

U.S. Government Agencies Risk: Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit, but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government agencies debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income market as a whole.

The Fund invests in various types of income producing debt securities including mortgage-and asset-backed securities, government and agency obligations, corporate obligations and floating rate loans. The Fund may invest in debt securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including emerging market debt. The Fund’s investment in non-U.S. issuers may at times be significant. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed-income securities. These securities will be chosen from the broad universe of available intermediate term fixed-income securities rated investment grade by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service or Fitch Ratings or unrated securities that the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC, (“Seix” or the “Subadviser”), believes are of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below investment grade, high yield debt obligations. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities that are restricted as to resale.

The Subadviser invests in intermediate term fixed-income securities with an emphasis on corporate and mortgage backed securities. The Subadviser anticipates that the Fund will maintain an average weighted maturity of 3 to 10 years and the Fund will be managed with a duration that is close to that of its comparative benchmark, the Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which is generally between 3 to 4 years. In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser generally selects a greater weighting in corporate obligations and mortgage-backed securities relative to the Fund’s comparative benchmark, and a lower relative weighting in U.S. Treasury and government agency issues.

In addition, to implement its investment strategy, the Fund may buy or sell derivative instruments (such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps, including credit default swaps, futures, credit linked notes, options, inverse floaters and warrants) to use as a substitute for a purchase or sale of a position in the underlying assets and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate or credit risks. The Fund may count the value of certain derivatives with investment grade intermediate-term fixed income characteristics towards its policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in fixed-income securities.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

You may lose money if you invest in the Fund. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer’s financial condition and on the terms of the securities. Debt securities are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are debt instruments that are secured by interests in pools of mortgage loans or other financial assets. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the assets underlying such securities, swings in interest rates, changes in default rates, or deteriorating economic conditions. During periods of declining asset values, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or illiquid. The risk of default is generally higher in the case of securities backed by loans made to borrowers with “sub-prime” credit metrics.

If market interest rates increase substantially and the Fund’s adjustable-rate securities are not able to reset to market interest rates during any one adjustment period, the value of the Fund’s holdings and its net asset value may decline until the adjustable-rate securities are able to reset to market rates. In the event of a dramatic increase in interest rates, the lifetime limit on a security’s interest rate may prevent the rate from adjusting to prevailing market rates. In such an event the security could underperform and affect the Fund’s net asset value.

Prepayment and Call Risk: During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund may “call” or prepay the bond before its stated maturity date. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decline in the Fund’s income.

Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities involve special risks such as currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information and unfavorable political or legal developments and delays in enforcement of rights. These risks are increased for investments in emerging markets.

Below Investment Grade Securities Risk: Securities that are rated below investment grade (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”), including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard and Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. or “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc.), or that are unrated but judged by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality, at the time of purchase, involve greater risk of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities. Below investment grade securities may also be less liquid than higher quality securities, and may cause income and principal losses for the Fund.

Floating Rate Loan Risk: The value of the collateral securing a floating rate loan can decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. As a result, a floating rate loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. Floating rate loans generally are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. The liquidity of floating rate loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual floating rate loans. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a floating rate loan can be more difficult; and buying and selling a floating rate loan at an acceptable price can also be more difficult and delayed. Difficulty in selling a floating rate loan can result in a loss.

Derivatives Risk: In the course of pursuing its investment strategies, the Fund may invest in certain types of derivatives including swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and futures. The Fund is exposed to additional volatility and potential loss with these investments. Losses in these investments may exceed the Fund’s initial investment. Derivatives may be difficult to value, may become illiquid and may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities market.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Risk: The technique of purchasing foreign currency forward contracts to obtain exposure to currencies or manage currency risk may not be effective. In addition, currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.

Swap Risk: The Fund may enter into swap agreements, including credit default and interest rate swaps, for purposes of attempting to gain exposure to a particular asset without actually purchasing that asset or to hedge a position. Credit default swaps may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to credit risk and could result in losses if the Subadviser does not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the entity on which the credit default swap is based. Swap agreements may also subject the Fund to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not meet its obligations.

Futures Contract Risk: The risks associated with futures include: the Subadviser’s ability to manage these instruments, the potential inability to terminate or sell a position, the lack of a liquid secondary market for the Fund’s position and the risk that the counterparty to the transaction will not meet its obligations.

Leverage Risk: Certain transactions and the use of derivatives such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and futures may create leveraging risk. Leverage may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

U.S. Government Issuers Risk: U.S. Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of its Treasury obligations to decline. Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit, but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income market as a whole.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) and collateralized mortgage obligations.

In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix” or the “Subadviser”), attempts to identify securities that it expects to perform well in rising and falling markets. The Subadviser also attempts to reduce the risk that the underlying mortgages are prepaid by focusing on securities that it believes are less prone to this risk. For example, Fannie Mae or GNMA securities that were issued years ago may be less prone to prepayment risk because there have been many opportunities for refinancing.

In addition, to implement its investment strategy, the Fund may buy or sell, to a limited extent, derivative instruments (such as credit linked notes, futures, options, inverse floaters, swaps and warrants) to use as a substitute for a purchase or sale of a position in the underlying assets and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate risk and credit risk.

Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer.

Debt securities are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are debt instruments that are secured by interests in pools of mortgage loans or other financial assets. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the assets underlying such securities, swings in interest rates, changes in default rates, or deteriorating economic conditions. During periods of declining asset values, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or illiquid. The risk of default is generally higher in the case of securities backed by loans made to borrowers with “sub-prime” credit metrics.

If market interest rates increase substantially and the Fund’s adjustable-rate securities are not able to reset to market interest rates during any one adjustment period, the value of the Fund’s holdings and its net asset value may decline until the adjustable-rate securities are able to reset to market rates. In the event of a dramatic increase in interest rates, the lifetime limit on a security’s interest rate may prevent the rate from adjusting to prevailing market rates. In such an event the security could underperform and affect the Fund’s net asset value.

Prepayment and Call Risk: During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund may “call” or prepay the bond before its stated maturity date. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decline in the Fund’s income.

U.S. government debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income market as a whole.

Obligations of certain agencies, authorities, instrumentalities and sponsored enterprises of the U.S. government are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States (e.g., Fannie Mae); other obligations are backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury (e.g., the Federal Home Loan Banks); and others are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase an agency’s obligations. Still others are backed only by the credit of the agency, authority, instrumentality or sponsored enterprise issuing the obligation. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to any of these entities if it is not obligated to do so by law.

Portfolio Turnover [Heading]rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeadingPortfolio Turnover
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlockThe Fund pays transaction costs 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 294% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund invests in various types of income producing debt securities including mortgage- and asset-backed securities, government and agency obligations, corporate obligations and floating rate loans. The Fund may invest in debt obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including emerging market debt. The Fund’s investment in non-U.S. issuers may at times be significant. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities. These securities will be chosen from the broad universe of available fixed income securities rated investment grade by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service or Fitch Ratings or unrated securities that the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix” or the “Subadviser”), believes are of comparable quality. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below investment grade, high yield debt obligations. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities that are restricted as to resale.

The Subadviser anticipates that the Fund’s modified adjusted duration will generally range from 3 to 6 years, similar to that of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s comparative benchmark. Duration measures a bond or Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes and is expressed as a number of years. The higher the number, the greater the risk. Under normal circumstances, for example, if a portfolio has a duration of five years, its value will change by 5% if rates change by 1%. Shorter duration bonds result in lower expected volatility. In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser generally selects a greater weighting in corporate obligations and mortgage-backed securities relative to the Fund’s comparative benchmark, and a lower relative weighting in U.S. Treasury and government agency issues.

In addition, to implement its investment strategy, the Fund may buy or sell derivative instruments (such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps, including credit default swaps, futures, credit linked notes, options, inverse floaters and warrants) to use as a substitute for a purchase or sale of a position in the underlying assets and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate or credit risks. The Fund may count the value of certain derivatives with investment grade fixed income characteristics towards its policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

You may lose money if you invest in the Fund. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer’s financial condition and on the terms of the securities. Debt securities are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are debt instruments that are secured by interests in pools of mortgage loans or other financial assets. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the assets underlying such securities, swings in interest rates, changes in default rates, or deteriorating economic conditions. During periods of declining asset values, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or illiquid. The risk of default is generally higher in the case of securities backed by loans made to borrowers with “sub-prime” credit metrics.

If market interest rates increase substantially and the Fund’s adjustable-rate securities are not able to reset to market interest rates during any one adjustment period, the value of the Fund’s holdings and its net asset value may decline until the adjustable-rate securities are able to reset to market rates. In the event of a dramatic increase in interest rates, the lifetime limit on a security’s interest rate may prevent the rate from adjusting to prevailing market rates. In such an event the security could underperform and affect the Fund’s net asset value.

Prepayment and Call Risk: During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund may “call” or prepay the bond before its stated maturity date. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decline in the Fund’s income.

Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities involve special risks such as currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information and unfavorable political or legal developments and delays in enforcement of rights. These risks are increased for investments in emerging markets.

Below Investment Grade Securities Risk: Securities that are rated below investment grade (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”), including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard and Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. or “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc.), or that are unrated but judged by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality, at the time of purchase, involve greater risk of default and are more volatile than investment grade securities. Below investment grade securities may also be less liquid than higher quality securities, and may cause income and principal losses for the Fund.

Floating Rate Loan Risk: The value of the collateral securing a floating rate loan can decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. As a result, a floating rate loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. Floating rate loans generally are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. The liquidity of floating rate loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual floating rate loans. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a floating rate loan can be more difficult; and buying and selling a floating rate loan at an acceptable price can also be more difficult and delayed. Difficulty in selling a floating rate loan can result in a loss.

Derivatives Risk: In the course of pursuing its investment strategies, the Fund may invest in certain types of derivatives including swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and futures. The Fund is exposed to additional volatility and potential loss with these investments. Losses in these investments may exceed the Fund’s initial investment. Derivatives may be difficult to value, may become illiquid and may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities market.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Risk: The technique of purchasing foreign currency forward contracts to obtain exposure to currencies or manage currency risk may not be effective. In addition, currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.

Swap Risk: The Fund may enter into swap agreements, including credit default and interest rate swaps, for purposes of attempting to gain exposure to a particular asset without actually purchasing that asset or to hedge a position. Credit default swaps may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to credit risk and could result in losses if the Subadviser does not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the entity on which the credit default swap is based. Swap agreements may also subject the Fund to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not meet its obligations.

Futures Contract Risk: The risks associated with futures include: the Subadviser’s ability to manage these instruments, the potential inability to terminate or sell a position, the lack of a liquid secondary market for the Fund’s position and the risk that the counterparty to the transaction will not meet its obligations.

Leverage Risk: Certain transactions and the use of derivatives such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and futures may create leveraging risk. Leverage may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

U.S. Government Issuers Risk: U.S. Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of its Treasury obligations to decline. Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit, but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income market as a whole.

The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. government debt securities, such as mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury obligations and shares of registered money market mutual funds that invest in the foregoing. In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix” or the “Subadviser”), focuses its investments in mortgage-backed securities in an attempt to provide a consistently high dividend without adding undue risk. Under certain circumstances, the Subadviser may strategically position the Fund’s exposure across the yield curve to potentially benefit from a normalization of the term structure of rates (i.e., in an environment where the yield curve is abnormally steep, investments will be strategically positioned along the yield curve to benefit as the curve’s shape reverts to a more traditional, or normal slope).

In addition, to implement its investment strategy, the Fund may buy or sell, to a limited extent, derivative instruments (such as credit linked notes, futures, options, inverse floaters, swaps and warrants) to use as a substitute for a purchase or sale of a position in the underlying assets and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate risk.

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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of higher yielding, lower-rated income producing debt instruments, including corporate obligations, floating rate loans and other debt obligations. The Fund may invest in debt obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including emerging market debt. The Fund’s investment in non-U.S. issuers may at times be significant. The Fund will invest at least 65%, and may invest up to 100%, of its assets in securities rated below investment grade by either Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or in unrated securities that the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix” or the “Subadviser”), believes are of comparable quality. Such securities are commonly known as “junk bonds” and offer greater risks than investment grade debt securities. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities that are restricted as to resale.

In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser employs a research driven process designed to identify value areas within the high yield market. The Subadviser seeks to identify securities which generally seek to meet the following criteria: (i) industries that have sound fundamentals; (ii) companies that have good business prospects and increasing credit strength; and (iii) issuers with stable or growing cash flows and effective management.

In addition, to implement its investment strategy, the Fund may buy or sell derivative instruments (such as swaps, including credit default swaps, futures, credit linked notes, options, inverse floaters and warrants) to use as a substitute for a purchase or sale of a position in the underlying assets and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate or credit risks. The Fund may count the value of certain derivatives with below investment grade fixed income characteristics towards its policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its net assets in non-investment grade fixed income securities.

Strategy Portfolio Concentration [Text]rr_StrategyPortfolioConcentrationThe Fund will invest at least 65%, and may invest up to 100%, of its assets in securities rated below investment grade by either Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or in unrated securities that the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix” or the “Subadviser”), believes are of comparable quality.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

You may lose money if you invest in the Fund. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer’s financial condition and on the terms of the securities. Debt securities are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities.

Below Investment Grade Securities Risk: Securities that are rated below investment grade (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”), including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard and Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. or “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc.), or that are unrated but judged by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality, at the time of purchase, involve greater risk of default and are more volatile than investment grade securities. Below investment grade securities may also be less liquid than higher quality securities, and may cause income and principal losses for the Fund.

Floating Rate Loan Risk: The value of the collateral securing a floating rate loan can decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. As a result, a floating rate loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. Floating rate loans generally are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. The liquidity of floating rate loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual floating rate loans. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a floating rate loan can be more difficult; and buying and selling a floating rate loan at an acceptable price can also be more difficult and delayed. Difficulty in selling a floating rate loan can result in a loss.

Prepayment and Call Risk: During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund may “call” or prepay the bond before its stated maturity date. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decline in the Fund’s income.

Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities involve special risks such as currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information and unfavorable political or legal developments and delays in enforcement of rights. These risks are increased for investments in emerging markets.

Derivatives Risk: In the course of pursuing its investment strategies, the Fund may invest in certain types of derivatives including swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and futures. The Fund is exposed to additional volatility and potential loss with these investments. Losses in these investments may exceed the Fund’s initial investment. Derivatives may be difficult to value, may become illiquid and may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities market.

Futures Contract Risk: The risks associated with futures include: the Subadviser’s ability to manage these instruments, the potential inability to terminate or sell a position, the lack of a liquid secondary market for the Fund’s position and the risk that the counterparty to the transaction will not meet its obligations.

Swap Risk: The Fund may enter into swap agreements, including credit default and interest rate swaps, for purposes of attempting to gain exposure to a particular asset without actually purchasing that asset or to hedge a position. Credit default swaps may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to credit risk and could result in losses if the Subadviser does not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the entity on which the credit default swap is based. Swap agreements may also subject the Fund to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not meet its obligations.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Risk: The technique of purchasing foreign currency forward contracts to obtain exposure to currencies or manage currency risk may not be effective. In addition, currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.

Leverage Risk: Certain transactions and the use of derivatives such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and futures may create leveraging risk. Leverage may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

U.S. Government Issuers Risk: U.S. Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit, but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income market as a whole.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a combination of first and second lien senior floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities.

These loans are loans made by banks and other large financial institutions to various companies and are senior in the borrowing companies’ capital structure. Coupon rates are floating, not fixed, and are tied to a benchmark lending rate, the most popular of which is the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is based on rates that contributor banks in London charge each other for interbank deposits and is typically used to set coupon rates on floating rate debt securities.

The interest rates of these floating rate debt securities vary periodically based upon a benchmark indicator of prevailing interest rates. The Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in floating rate loans and debt securities that are rated below investment grade by Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or in comparable unrated securities. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in any combination of junior debt securities or securities with a lien on collateral lower than a senior claim on collateral, high yield fixed rate bonds, investment grade fixed income debt obligations, asset-backed securities (such as special purpose trusts investing in bank loans), money market securities and repurchase agreements.

In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix” or the “Subadviser”), will emphasize securities which are within the segment of the high yield market it has targeted, which are securities rated either “BB” and “B” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or “Ba” and “B” by Moody’s Investors Service or unrated securities that the Subadviser believes are of comparable quality.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in senior loans made to non-U.S. borrowers provided that no more than 5% of the portfolio’s loans are non-U.S. dollar denominated. The Fund may also engage in certain hedging transactions.

Preservation of capital is considered when consistent with the fund’s objective.

Some types of senior loans in which the Fund may invest require that an open loan for a specific amount be continually offered to a borrower. These types of senior loans are commonly referred to as revolvers. Because revolvers contractually obligate the lender (and therefore those with an interest in the loan) to fund the revolving portion of the loan at the borrower’s discretion, the Fund must have funds sufficient to cover its contractual obligation. Therefore the Fund will maintain, on a daily basis, high-quality, liquid assets in an amount at least equal in value to its contractual obligation to fulfill the revolving senior loan. The Fund will not encumber any assets that are otherwise encumbered. The Fund will limit its investments in such obligations to no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets.

In addition, to implement its investment strategy, the Fund may buy or sell derivative instruments (such as swaps, including credit default swaps, futures, credit linked notes, options, inverse floaters and warrants) to use as a substitute for a purchase or sale of a position in the underlying assets and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate or credit risks. The Fund may count the value of certain derivatives with floating rate debt or high yield bond characteristics towards its policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in a combination of first and second lien senior floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities.

You may lose money if you invest in the Fund. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer’s financial condition and on the terms of the securities. Debt securities are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities.

Floating Rate Loan Risk: The value of the collateral securing a floating rate loan can decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. As a result, a floating rate loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. Floating rate loans generally are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. The liquidity of floating rate loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual floating rate loans. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a floating rate loan can be more difficult; and buying and selling a floating rate loan at an acceptable price can also be more difficult and delayed. Difficulty in selling a floating rate loan can result in a loss.

Senior Loan Risk: Economic and other market events may reduce the demand for certain senior loans held by the Fund, which may adversely impact the net asset value of the Fund.

Below Investment Grade Securities Risk: Securities that are rated below investment grade (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”), including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard and Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. or “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc.), or that are unrated but judged by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality, at the time of purchase, involve greater risk of default and are more volatile than investment grade securities. Below investment grade securities may also be less liquid than higher quality securities, and may cause income and principal losses for the Fund.

Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities involve special risks such as currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information and unfavorable political or legal developments and delays in enforcement of rights. These risks are increased for investments in emerging markets.

Derivatives Risk: In the course of pursuing its investment strategies, the Fund may invest in certain types of derivatives including swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and futures. The Fund is exposed to additional volatility and potential loss with these investments. Losses in these investments may exceed the Fund’s initial investment. Derivatives may be difficult to value, may become illiquid and may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities market.

Futures Contract Risk: The risks associated with futures include: the Subadviser’s ability to manage these instruments, the potential inability to terminate or sell a position, the lack of a liquid secondary market for the Fund’s position and the risk that the counterparty to the transaction will not meet its obligations.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Risk: The technique of purchasing foreign currency forward contracts to obtain exposure to currencies or manage currency risk may not be effective. In addition, currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.

Swap Risk: The Fund may enter into swap agreements, including credit default and interest rate swaps, for purposes of attempting to gain exposure to a particular asset without actually purchasing that asset or to hedge a position. Credit default swaps may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to credit risk and could result in losses if the Subadviser does not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the entity on which the credit default swap is based. Swap agreements may also subject the Fund to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not meet its obligations.

Leverage Risk: Certain transactions and the use of derivatives such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and futures may create leveraging risk. Leverage may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

U.S. Government Issuers Risk: U.S. Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit, but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income market as a whole.

Portfolio Turnover [Heading]rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeadingPortfolio Turnover
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlockThe Fund pays transaction costs 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 119% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy [Heading]rr_StrategyHeadingPrincipal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests in various types of lower rated, higher yielding debt instruments, including corporate obligations, floating rate loans and other debt obligations. The Fund may invest in debt obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including emerging market debt. The Fund’s investment in non-U.S. issuers may at times be significant. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in high yield securities. These securities will be chosen from the broad universe of available U.S. dollar denominated, high yield securities rated below investment grade by either Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or unrated securities that the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix” or the “Subadviser”), believes are of comparable quality. Such securities are commonly known as “junk bonds” and offer greater risks than investment grade bonds. Although the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through investment in high yield securities, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in investment grade securities. The Fund will be managed with a duration that is close to the Fund’s comparative benchmark, the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB/B Rated Constrained Index, which is generally between 3 and 6 years. Duration measures a bond or Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes and is expressed as a number of years. The higher the number, the greater the risk. Under normal circumstances, for example, if a portfolio has a duration of five years, its value will change by 5% if rates change by 1%. Shorter duration bonds result in lower expected volatility. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities that are restricted as to resale.

In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser employs a research driven process designed to identify value areas within the high yield market and attempts to identify lower rated, higher yielding bonds offering above average total return. Additionally, the Subadviser will emphasize securities which are within the segment of the high yield market it has targeted for emphasis, which are “BB” and “B” rated issuers. The Subadviser seeks to identify securities which generally seek to meet the following criteria: (1) industries that have sound fundamentals; (2) companies that have good business prospects and increasing credit strength; and (3) issuers with stable or growing cash flows and effective management.

In addition, to implement its investment strategy, the Fund may buy or sell derivative instruments (such as swaps, including credit default swaps, futures, credit linked notes, options, inverse floaters and warrants) to use as a substitute for a purchase or sale of a position in the underlying assets and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate or credit risks. The Fund may count the value of certain derivatives with below investment grade fixed income characteristics towards its policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in high yield securities.

Risk [Heading]rr_RiskHeadingPrincipal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

You may lose money if you invest in the Fund. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer’s financial condition and on the terms of the securities. Debt securities are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities.

Below Investment Grade Securities Risk: Securities that are rated below investment grade (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”), including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard and Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. or “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc.), or that are unrated but judged by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality, at the time of purchase, involve greater risk of default and are more volatile than investment grade securities. Below investment grade securities may also be less liquid than higher quality securities, and may cause income and principal losses for the Fund.

Floating Rate Loan Risk: The value of the collateral securing a floating rate loan can decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. As a result, a floating rate loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. Floating rate loans generally are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. The liquidity of floating rate loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual floating rate loans. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a floating rate loan can be more difficult; and buying and selling a floating rate loan at an acceptable price can also be more difficult and delayed. Difficulty in selling a floating rate loan can result in a loss.

Prepayment and Call Risk: During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund may “call” or prepay the bond before its stated maturity date. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decline in the Fund’s income.

Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities involve special risks such as currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information and unfavorable political or legal developments and delays in enforcement of rights. These risks are increased for investments in emerging markets.

Derivatives Risk: In the course of pursuing its investment strategies, the Fund may invest in certain types of derivatives including swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and futures. The Fund is exposed to additional volatility and potential loss with these investments. Losses in these investments may exceed the Fund’s initial investment. Derivatives may be difficult to value, may become illiquid and may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities market.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Risk: The technique of purchasing foreign currency forward contracts to obtain exposure to currencies or manage currency risk may not be effective. In addition, currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.

Swap Risk: The Fund may enter into swap agreements, including credit default and interest rate swaps, for purposes of attempting to gain exposure to a particular asset without actually purchasing that asset or to hedge a position. Credit default swaps may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to credit risk and could result in losses if the Subadviser does not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the entity on which the credit default swap is based. Swap agreements may also subject the Fund to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not meet its obligations.

Futures Contract Risk: The risks associated with futures include: the Subadviser’s ability to manage these instruments, the potential inability to terminate or sell a position, the lack of a liquid secondary market for the Fund’s position and the risk that the counterparty to the transaction will not meet its obligations.

Leverage Risk: Certain transactions and the use of derivatives such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and futures may create leveraging risk. Leverage may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

U.S. Government Issuers Risk: U.S. Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit, but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income market as a whole.
