Expense, Narrative rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and
hold Class A 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 the Frost Funds (Class A Shares purchased without an
initial sales charge may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if
redeemed within 12 months of purchase). More information about these and other
discounts is available from your financial professional and in the section
"Sales Charges" on page 104 of this prospectus.

Portfolio Turnover, Heading rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
Portfolio Turnover rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate
may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
total annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's
performance. During its most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover
rate was 144% of the average value of its portfolio.

Investment Strategy, Heading rr_StrategyHeading PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Investment Strategy, Narrative rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets
in equity securities of small-capitalization companies. This investment policy
may be changed by the Fund upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.

The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying upon two sub-advisers, Cambiar
Investors, LLC ("Cambiar") and Artio Global Management LLC ("Artio Global"),
with differing investment philosophies to manage portions of the Fund's
portfolio under the general supervision of the Fund's adviser, Frost Investment
Advisors, LLC.  The Fund intends to invest in companies that Cambiar and Artio
Global believe are undervalued, profitable, and capable of generating
significant cash flow.  In managing the Fund, Cambiar will select and manage
its portion of the Fund's portfolio with a bias toward value-oriented small-cap
stocks while Artio Global will select and manage its portion of the Fund's
portfolio with a bias toward growth-oriented small-cap stocks. Growth-oriented
managers generally select stocks they believe have attractive growth and
appreciation potential in light of such characteristics as revenue and earnings
growth, expectations from sell side analysts, and relative valuation, while
value-oriented managers generally select stocks they believe are attractively
valued in light of fundamental characteristics such as earnings, capital
structure and/or return on invested capital.

In selecting investments for the Fund, Cambiar utilizes a bottom-up,
research-focused investment philosophy that seeks to identify quality companies
that are currently undervalued to their historical trading range, yet
demonstrate catalysts not yet recognized by the market that could result in
significant appreciation over a 1-2 year time horizon. While Cambiar may use
various metrics in selecting securities for the Fund, a company must possess
the following characteristics: attractive valuation, an identifiable
performance catalyst(s) and material upside potential. In selecting investments
for the Fund, Cambiar generally considers small-capitalization companies to be
those companies with total market capitalizations less than $3 billion at the
time of initial purchase.  In implementing its sell discipline, Cambiar sells
stocks once a stock reaches its price target, when there is a decline in
fundamentals, or the anticipated catalyst at purchase fails to materialize.
Stocks may also be sold in favor of a more attractive investment opportunity.
Cambiar will also trim a holding if it becomes an outsized position within the
Fund's portfolio.

In selecting investments for the Fund, Artio Global will focus on companies
that generally possess the following attributes:

     o  companies with economic earnings or free cash flow generation;

     o  companies with the capability to self fund and to avoid raising
        additional capital;

     o  companies that provide products or services that change the behavior
        of the consumer or capital spender;

     o  companies that provide products or services that have an opportunity
        to gain market share or carve out a niche in the market; and

     o  companies with high gross margins and/or operating leverage with the
        potential for providing operating margin improvement.

Generally, Artio Global will select securities of companies whose market
capitalization at the time of purchase falls (i) within the market
capitalization range of companies within the Russell 2000 Index or (ii) within
the range of the three year average minimum and maximum market capitalizations
of companies in the Russell 2000 Index as of December 31 of the three preceding
years. As of December 31, 2010, the capitalization range of the Russell 2000
Index was $13.23 million to $4.44 billion and the three year average market
capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index was $8.35 million to $4.44
billion.

Artio Global may sell securities included in the Fund's portfolio if a stock
reaches its target price; relative investment opportunities exist; a company's
fundamentals deteriorate; and/or if there is a distortion of a company's
weighted average market capitalization.

The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to
achieve its investment objective.
Risk, Heading rr_RiskHeading PRINCIPAL RISKS
Risk, Narrative rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
As with all mutual funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk that his or her
investment could lose money. A FUND SHARE IS NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND IT IS NOT
INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FDIC, OR ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY. The principal risks
affecting shareholders' investments in the Fund are set forth below.

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS ("IPO") RISK -- The Fund may invest a portion of its
assets in securities of companies offering shares in IPOs. IPOs may have a
magnified performance impact on a fund with a small asset base. The impact of
IPOs on the Fund's performance likely will decrease as the Fund's asset size
increases, which could reduce the Fund's total returns. IPOs may not be
consistently available to the Fund for investing. Because IPO shares frequently
are volatile in price, the Fund may hold IPO shares for a very short period of
time.  This may increase the turnover of the Fund's portfolio and may lead to
increased expenses for the Fund, such as commissions and transaction costs. By
selling IPO shares, the Fund may realize taxable gains it will subsequently
distribute to shareholders. In addition, the market for IPO shares can be
speculative and/or inactive for extended periods of time. The limited number of
shares available for trading in some IPOs may make it more difficult for the
Fund to buy or sell significant amounts of shares without an unfavorable impact
on prevailing prices. Holders of IPO shares can be affected by substantial
dilution in the value of their shares, by sales of additional shares and by
concentration of control in existing management and principal shareholders.

EQUITY RISK -- Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the
risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time.
Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the
Fund's equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual
companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or
economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such
companies may suffer a decline in response.  These factors contribute to price
volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund.

SMALL-CAPITALIZATION COMPANY RISK -- The small-capitalization companies in which
the Fund may invest may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic
events than larger, more established companies. In particular, these small-
sized companies may pose additional risks, including liquidity risk, because
these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets and financial
resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore,
small-capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies.
These securities may be traded over the counter or listed on an exchange.

FOREIGN COMPANY RISK -- Investing in foreign companies, whether through
investments made in foreign markets or made through the purchase of ADRs, which
are traded on U.S. exchanges and represent an ownership in a foreign security,
poses additional risks since political and economic events unique to a country
or region will affect those markets and their issuers. These risks will not
necessarily affect the U.S. economy or similar issuers located in the United
States.  In addition, investments in foreign companies are generally
denominated in a foreign currency. As a result, changes in the value of those
currencies compared to the U.S. dollar may affect (positively or negatively)
the value of the Fund's investments. These currency movements may occur
separately from, and in response to, events that do not otherwise affect the
value of the security in the issuer's home country. While ADRs provide an
alternative to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their
respective national markets and currencies, investments in ADRs continue to be
subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign
securities.

ACTIVE TRADING RISK -- The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of
portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective. Active trading may
cause the Fund to incur increased costs, which can lower the actual return of
the Fund. Active trading may also increase short-term gains and losses, which
affect taxes that must be paid.

LIQUIDITY RISK -- Particular investments may be difficult to purchase or sell.
The Fund may make investments that become less liquid in response to market
developments or adverse investor perceptions, which may reduce the returns of
the Fund because it may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an
advantageous time or price.

Bar Chart and Performance Table, Heading rr_BarChartAndPerformanceTableHeading PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Performance, Narrative rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock
The bar chart and the performance table below illustrate the risks and
volatility of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's
performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual
total returns for 1 and 5 years and since inception compare with those of a
broad measure of market performance.

The performance information provided includes the returns of Institutional
Class Shares for periods prior to April 25, 2008.  Institutional Class Shares
of the Fund are offered in a separate prospectus. Institutional Class Shares
would have substantially similar performance as Class A Shares because the
shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the annual returns
would differ only to the extent that the expenses of Class A Shares are higher
than the expenses of the Institutional Class Shares and, therefore, returns for
the Class A Shares would be lower than those of the Institutional Class Shares.
Institutional Class Shares performance presented has been adjusted to reflect
the Distribution (12b-1) fees and, for the performance table, the Maximum Sales
Charge (Load), applicable to Class A Shares.

Institutional Class Shares first became available on April 25, 2008, when the
Fund succeeded to the assets and operations of a common trust fund that was
managed by The Frost National Bank (the "Predecessor Fund"). The performance
information provided includes the returns of the Predecessor Fund for periods
prior to April 25, 2008.  Because the Predecessor Fund was not a registered
mutual fund, it was not subject to the same investment and tax restrictions as
the Fund; if it had been, the Predecessor Fund's performance may have been
lower. Although the Predecessor Fund commenced operations prior to the periods
shown, the earliest date for which its performance can be calculated applying
the relevant performance standards is May 31, 2002 ("Performance Start Date").

The bar chart figures do not include sales charges that may have been paid when
investors bought and sold Class A Shares of the Fund. If sales charges were
included, the returns would be lower. Prior to February 1, 2010, the Fund
employed a different investment strategy and, prior to June 29, 2010, the Fund
was managed by a different sub-adviser. Therefore, the past performance shown
below may have differed had the Fund's current investment strategy been in
effect and had the current sub-advisers been managing the Fund. Of course, the
Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate
how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is
