Interest Rate Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Interest Rate Risk. Prices of fixed-income securities generally fall when interest rates rise. The longer the duration of a fixed-income security, the more susceptible it is to interest rate risk. 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.
Issuer Credit Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Issuer Credit Risk. It is possible that interest or principal on securities will not be paid when due. Such non-payment or default may reduce the value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, its share price and its performance.
Counterparty Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction involving the Fund will 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 strategy.
Call Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Call Risk. An issuer may redeem a fixed-income security before maturity (a “call”) at a price below its current market price.
Liquidity Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Liquidity Risk. The fixed-income securities in which the Fund invests may be less readily marketable and may be subject to greater fluctuation in price than other securities. OTC derivative contracts generally carry greater liquidity risk than exchange-traded contracts.
Leverage Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Leverage Risk. Leverage risk is created when an investment exposes the Fund to a level of risk that exceeds the amount invested. Changes in the value of such an investment magnify the Fund’s risk of loss and potential for gain.
Risk Associated with Noninvestment Grade Securities [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Risk Associated with Noninvestment-Grade Securities. Securities rated below investment grade may be subject to greater interest rate, credit and liquidity risks than investment-grade securities. These securities are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and repay principal.
Risk Related to the Economy [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] 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. Global economic, political and financial conditions, including geopolitical conflicts, and other events (e.g., wars, sanctions and terrorism), legislative changes, industry or economic trends and developments, natural disasters or public health risks, such as epidemics or pandemics, may, from time to time, and for varying periods of time, have a significant effect on financial markets generally and cause the Fund to experience volatility, illiquidity, loss of value, shareholder redemptions, and/or other potentially adverse effects. Among other investments, lower-grade bonds may be particularly sensitive to changes in the economy.
Risk of Foreign Investing [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Risk of Foreign Investing. Because the Fund invests in securities issued by foreign companies and national governments, the Fund’s share price may be more affected by foreign economic and political conditions, taxation policies and accounting and auditing standards than would otherwise be the case.
Risk of Investing in Derivative Contracts and Hybrid Instruments [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Risk of Investing in Derivative Contracts and Hybrid Instruments. Derivative contracts and hybrid instruments involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Specific risk issues related to the use of such contracts and instruments include valuation and tax issues, increased potential for losses and/or costs to the Fund, and a potential reduction in gains to the Fund. Each of these issues is described in greater detail in this Prospectus. Derivative contracts and hybrid instruments may also involve other risks described in this Prospectus, such as interest rate, credit, liquidity and leverage risks.
Risk of Loss After Redemption [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Risk of Loss after Redemption. The Fund may also invest in trade finance loan instruments primarily by investing in other investment companies (which are not available for general investment by the public) that own those instruments, is advised by an affiliate of the Adviser and is structured as an extended payment fund (EPF). In the EPF, the Fund, as shareholder, will bear the risk of investment loss during the period between when shares of such EPF are presented to the transfer agent of the EPF for redemption and when the net asset value of the EPF is determined for payment of the redeemed EPF shares.
Asset Backed Securities ABS Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) Risk. The value of asset-backed securities (ABS) may be affected by certain factors such as interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk and the availability of information concerning the pool of underlying assets and its structure. Under certain market conditions, ABS may be less liquid and may be difficult to value. Movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain types of ABS. ABS can also be subject to the risk of default on the underlying assets.
Risk of Investing in Loans [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Risk of Investing in Loans. In addition to the risks generally associated with debt instruments, such as credit, market, interest rate, liquidity and derivatives risks, bank loans are also subject to the risk that the value of the collateral securing a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower or be difficult to liquidate.
Loan Liquidity Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Loan Liquidity Risk. Loans generally are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. The liquidity of loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual loans. Loan instruments may not be readily marketable and may be subject to restrictions on resale. In some cases, negotiations involved in disposing of loans may require weeks to complete. Thus, transactions in loan instruments may take longer than seven days to settle. This could pose a liquidity risk to the Fund and, if the Fund’s exposure to such investments is substantial, could impair the Fund’s ability to meet shareholder redemptions in a timely manner.
Exchange Traded Funds Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange traded) that has the same investment objectives, strategies and policies. The price of an ETF can fluctuate up or down, and the Fund could lose money investing in an ETF if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down.
Underlying Fund Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Underlying Fund Risk. The risk that the Fund’s performance is closely related to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by Underlying Funds and that the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective will depend upon the ability of Underlying Funds to achieve their respective investment objectives. The Fund bears Underlying Fund fees and expenses indirectly.
Technology Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] 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.
Risk Lose Money [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] The Shares offered by this Prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
