[2] R Squared Capital Management L.P. (the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to reduce fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to keep Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Fee Reductions and/or Expense Reimbursements (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, and extraordinary expenses (collectively, "excluded expenses")) from exceeding 1.10% and 1.35% of the Fund's Institutional Class and Investor Class shares' average daily net assets, respectively, until February 28, 2018. In addition, if at any point Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (not including excluded expenses) are below the expense cap, the Adviser may receive from the Fund the difference between the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (not including excluded expenses) and the expense cap to recover all or a portion of its prior fee reductions or expense reimbursements made during the preceding three-year period during which this Agreement (or any prior agreement) was in place. This Agreement may be terminated: (i) by the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund II (the "Trust"), for any reason at any time, or (ii) by the Adviser, upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice to the Trust, effective as of the close of business on February 28, 2018.
Expense Example [Heading]

EXAMPLE

Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses (including one year of capped expenses in each period) remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover [Heading]

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]

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 219% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy [Heading]

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

The Fund normally invests in the equity securities of issuers located in international markets. The Fund will typically invest in equity and equity related instruments of non-U.S. companies of all sizes.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies located throughout the world, normally excluding the United States. This investment policy may be changed by the Fund upon 60 days' prior written notice to shareholders. The equity securities in which the Fund invests are primarily common stocks, but may also include American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs"), European Depositary Receipts ("EDRs"), preferred stock, real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). The Fund generally follows a multi-capitalization approach that focuses on mid-to large-capitalization companies, but the Fund may also invest in smaller capitalization companies.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in at least three countries outside the United States, and at least 65% of its net assets will be invested in non-U.S. companies, in both developed and emerging market countries. The Fund considers a company to be a non-U.S. company if: (i) 50% of the company's assets are located outside of the United States; (ii) 50% of the company's revenues are generated outside of the United States; or (iii) the company maintains its principal place of business outside of the United States. The Fund's investments may be denominated in U.S. dollars, non-U.S. currencies or multinational currency units, such as the euro. From time to time, the Fund may focus its investments in Europe.

To achieve its investment goal, the Fund may use derivatives under certain market conditions as a substitute for taking a position or reducing exposure to underlying assets. Such derivatives principally include the purchase and sale of futures contracts, forward contracts (including non-deliverable forwards), options, swaps, warrants, structured notes and participatory notes ("P-Notes").

The Fund is not constrained by a particular investment style, and may invest in "growth" and "value" securities. Growth securities are those whose earnings are expected to grow at an above average rate relative to the market. Value securities appear undervalued and thus trade at a lower price relative to their fundamentals.

The Adviser decides which securities to buy and sell for the Fund through an investment approach tailored to best fit the various regions of the world. In the developed world (primarily the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), the Adviser emphasizes company specific research paired with strong analysis of industrial sectors and niches within those sectors. The Adviser favors industries and sub-sectors characterized by favorable or improving demand/supply patterns. Within those sectors, the Adviser aims to invest in companies which are experiencing strong or improving demand for their products or services, which possess dominant competitive positions within their industry, or which are undergoing radical, positive fundamental change. Thorough analysis of balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow information is an essential component of the bottom up research process. In the emerging markets, the investment process begins with top down analysis of regional and country specific macroeconomic and geopolitical variables. Country weighting decisions within the emerging markets are heavily dependent on the top down view. Individual companies are then selected for investment based on the same bottom up review used in developed markets. To the extent that the Fund invests in Japan, the Adviser will determine the Fund's exposure to Japan using a hybrid approach encompassing both top down and bottom up processes. The Japanese macroeconomic backdrop has an influence on the Adviser's country weighting decision. However, Japan has many global companies active in the export industries, and bottom up assessments versus non-Japanese competitors are the key determining factors that influence portfolio inclusion or exclusion.

The Fund may buy and sell investments frequently in seeking to achieve its objective.

Risk [Heading]

PRINCIPAL RISKS

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

As with all mutual funds, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. A FUND SHARE IS NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND IT IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FDIC OR ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY. The principal risk factors affecting shareholders' investments in the Fund are set forth below.

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.

FOREIGN COMPANY RISK -- Investing in foreign companies, including direct investments and through ADRs, GDRs and EDRs (collectively, "Depositary Receipts"), which are traded on 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. Differences in tax and accounting standards and difficulties obtaining information about foreign companies can negatively affect investment decisions. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers. While Depositary Receipts provide an alternative to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their respective national markets and currencies, investments in Depositary Receipts continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities.

GEOGRAPHIC RISK -- The Fund's investments may be focused in particular countries or geographic regions and, therefore, the Fund will be more susceptible to adverse market, political, regulatory, and geographic events affecting those regions than a fund that does not focus its investments in a particular region.

EMERGING MARKETS SECURITIES RISK -- Investments in emerging markets securities are considered speculative and subject to heightened risks in addition to the general risks of investing in foreign securities. Unlike more established markets, emerging markets may have governments that are less stable, markets that are less liquid and economies that are less developed. In addition, the securities markets of emerging market countries may consist of companies with smaller market capitalizations and may suffer periods of relative illiquidity; significant price volatility; restrictions on foreign investment; and possible restrictions on repatriation of investment income and capital. Furthermore, foreign investors may be required to register the proceeds of sales, and future economic or political crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization or creation of government monopolies.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK -- As a result of the Fund's investments in securities or other investments denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies, the Fund will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Fund would be adversely affected.

SMALL- AND MID-CAPITALIZATION COMPANY RISK -- The small- and mid-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, investments in these small- and mid-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- and mid-cap stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.

PREFERRED STOCK RISK -- Preferred stocks are sensitive to interest rate changes, and are also subject to equity risk, which is the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. The rights of preferred stocks on the distribution of a company's assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a company's debt securities.

REIT RISK -- REITs are pooled investment vehicles that own, and usually operate, income-producing real estate. REITs are susceptible to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, such as the following: declines in property values; increases in property taxes, operating expenses, interest rates or competition; overbuilding; zoning changes; and losses from casualty or condemnation.

ETF RISK -- ETFs are pooled investment vehicles, such as registered investment companies and grantor trusts, whose shares are listed and traded on U.S. stock exchanges or otherwise traded in the over-the-counter market. To the extent that the Fund invests in ETFs, the Fund will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities comprising the index on which the ETF is based and the value of the Fund's investment will fluctuate in response to the performance of the underlying index.

DERIVATIVES RISK -- The Fund's use of futures, forwards, options, swaps, warrants, structured notes and P-Notes for all purposes, including speculative purposes, is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and valuation risk. In addition, the Fund's use of derivatives for hedging purposes is subject to hedging risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and hedging risk are described below. Market risk is the risk that the market value of an investment may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Each of these risks could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument.

LEVERAGE RISK -- The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund's share price and may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations.

LIQUIDITY RISK -- The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Fund would like. The Fund may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.

CREDIT RISK -- The risk that the issuer of a security or the counterparty to a contract will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation.

HEDGING RISK -- The Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes. Hedging through the use of these instruments does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities that the Fund owns or intends to purchase or sell. While entering into these instruments tends to reduce the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged asset, such instruments also limit any potential gain that may result from the increase in value of the asset. There can be no assurance that any hedging strategy will be effective or that there will be a hedge in place at any given time.

GROWTH INVESTMENT STYLE RISK -- The Fund invests in equity securities of companies that the Adviser believes will increase their earnings at a certain rate that is generally higher than the rate expected for non-growth companies. If a growth company does not meet these expectations, the price of its stock may decline significantly, even if it has increased earnings. Many growth companies do not pay dividends. Companies that pay dividends often have lower stock price declines during market downturns. Over time, a growth investing style may go in and out of favor, causing the Fund to sometimes underperform other equity funds that use differing investing styles.

VALUE INVESTMENT STYLE RISK -- Value investing focuses on companies with stocks that appear undervalued in light of factors such as the company's earnings, book value, revenues or cash flow. If the Adviser's assessment of market conditions, or a company's value or its prospects for exceeding earnings expectations is inaccurate, the Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, "value stocks" can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER RISK - The Fund is subject to portfolio turnover risk because it may buy and sell investments frequently. Such a strategy often involves higher expenses, including brokerage commissions, and may increase the amount of capital gains (in particular, short term gains) realized by the Fund. Shareholders may pay tax on such capital gains.
