Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]	rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock	The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may mean higher taxes if you are investing in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Expense Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 36% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example [Heading]	rr_ExpenseExampleHeading	Expense Example
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]	rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock	The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example shows costs if you sold (redeemed) your shares at the end of the period or continued to hold them. The Example also assumes that your investment had a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example reflects applicable expense limitation agreements and/or waivers in effect, if any, for the one-year period and the first year of the three-, five-, and ten-year periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	Under normal market conditions, the sub-adviser (“Sub-Adviser”) invests the assets of the Fund in a combination of other funds (“Underlying Funds”) that, in turn, invest directly in securities (such as stocks and bonds). The Underlying Funds will invest in the securities of issuers in a number of different countries, one of which may be the United States. Under normal market conditions, approximately 60% of the Fund's net assets will be allocated to Underlying Funds that predominantly invest in equity securities, and approximately 40% of the Fund's net assets will be allocated to Underlying Funds that predominantly invest in debt instruments, including U.S. government securities and money market instruments (“Target Allocation”). The percentage weight of the Fund's assets invested in Underlying Funds that predominantly invest in equity securities may change to approximately 30% and the percentage weight of the Fund's assets invested in Underlying Funds that predominantly invest in debt instruments may change to approximately 70% (“Defensive Allocation”) depending upon the rules-based investment strategy described below. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in Underlying Funds affiliated with the investment adviser, although the Sub-Adviser may in its discretion invest up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets in Underlying Funds that are not affiliated with the investment adviser, including exchange-traded funds. The Target Allocation and Defensive Allocation are measured with reference to the primary investment strategies of the Underlying Funds; actual exposure to these asset classes may vary to the extent an Underlying Fund is not substantially invested in accordance with its primary investment strategies. The Underlying Funds provide exposure to a wide range of traditional asset classes which include stocks, bonds, and cash, and non-traditional asset classes (also known as alternative strategies) which include real estate-related securities, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The equity securities in which the Underlying Funds may invest include, but are not limited to: domestic and international stocks of companies of any market capitalization; emerging market securities; and domestic and international real estate securities, including REITs. The debt instruments in which the Underlying Funds may invest include, but are not limited to: domestic and international short-, intermediate- and long-term bonds; high-yield debt instruments rated below investment-grade commonly referred to as “junk bonds;” and debt instruments without limitations on maturity. The Sub-Adviser uses a rules-based investment strategy to determine the allocation among Underlying Funds that invest in equity securities and debt instruments. The proportion of assets allocated to Underlying Funds that are predominantly invested in equity securities and those that are predominantly invested in debt instruments is determined as of each calendar quarter. Within the broad equity and debt asset classes, the Fund will seek to maintain approximately equal weights across its investment in the Underlying Funds. No adjustments to the Target Allocation or Defensive Allocation will be made between quarterly allocation dates. As soon as practicable following the end of each calendar quarter, the Sub-Adviser will compare the aggregate earnings of the companies in the S&P 500® Index (“Index”) for the most recent calendar quarter to the aggregate earnings of the companies in the Index for the previous year's corresponding calendar quarter. If the aggregate earnings for the most recent calendar quarter are higher than the aggregate earnings of the companies in the Index for the previous year's corresponding calendar quarter, the Fund will take steps to ensure it is invested in accordance with the Target Allocation described above as soon as practicable. If the aggregate earnings for the most recently completed calendar quarter are lower than the reported aggregate earnings for the previous year's corresponding calendar quarter, the Fund will take steps to ensure it is invested in accordance with the Defensive Allocation described above as soon as practicable. The Sub-Adviser intends to rebalance the Fund's asset allocations on at least a quarterly basis, but it may rebalance more frequently as deemed appropriate to attain the Target Allocation or Defensive Allocation for the Fund. These allocations, however, are targets, and the Fund's asset allocations could change substantially as the value of the Underlying Funds change.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	PRINCIPAL RISKS
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	You could lose money on an investment in the Fund. The value of your investment in the Fund changes with the values of the Underlying Funds and their investments. The Fund is subject to the following principal risks (either directly or through investments in one or more Underlying Funds). Any of these risks, among others, could affect the Fund's or an Underlying Fund's performance or cause the Fund or an Underlying Fund to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds. Affiliated Underlying Funds: The manager’s selection of Underlying Funds presents conflicts of interest. The net management fee revenue received by the manager and its affiliates will vary depending on the Underlying Funds it selects for the Fund, and the manager will have an incentive to select the Underlying Funds (whether or not affiliated with the manager) that will result in the greatest net management fee revenue to the manager and its affiliates, even if that results in increased expenses for the Fund. In many cases, investments in affiliated Underlying Funds will afford the manager greater net management fee revenue than would investments in unaffiliated Underlying Funds. In addition, the manager may prefer to invest in an affiliated Underlying Fund over an unaffiliated fund because the investment may be beneficial to the manager in managing the affiliated Underlying Fund, by helping the affiliated Underlying Fund achieve economies of scale or by enhancing cash flows to the affiliated Underlying Fund. In certain circumstances, the manager would have an incentive to delay or decide against the sale of interests held by the Fund in affiliated Underlying Funds and may implement portfolio changes in a manner intended to minimize the disruptive effects and added costs of those changes to affiliated Underlying Funds. Although the Fund may invest a portion of its assets in unaffiliated Underlying Funds, there is no assurance that it will do so even in cases where the unaffiliated Underlying Funds incur lower fees than the comparable affiliated Underlying Funds. If the Fund invests in an Underlying Fund with higher expenses, the Fund’s performance would be lower than if the Fund had invested in an Underlying Fund with comparable performance but lower expenses (although any expense limitation arrangements in place at the time might have the effect of limiting or eliminating the amount of that underperformance). Asset Allocation: Investment performance depends on the manager’s skill in allocating assets among the asset classes in which the Fund invests and in choosing investments within those asset classes. There is a risk that the manager may allocate assets or investments to an asset class that underperforms compared to other asset classes or investments. Bank Instruments: Bank instruments include certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits, bankers’ acceptances, and other debt and deposit-type obligations issued by banks. Changes in economic, regulatory or political conditions, or other events that affect the banking industry may have an adverse effect on bank instruments or banking institutions that serve as counterparties in transactions with the Fund. Cash/Cash Equivalents: Investments in cash or cash equivalents may lower returns and result in potential lost opportunities to participate in market appreciation which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and ability to achieve its investment objective. Company: The price of a company’s stock could decline or underperform for many reasons including, among others, poor management, financial problems, reduced demand for company goods or services, regulatory fines and judgments, or business challenges. If a company declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, its stock could become worthless. Credit: The price of a bond or other debt instrument is likely to fall if the issuer’s actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether. Currency: To the extent that the Fund invests directly or indirectly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those foreign (non-U.S.) 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 being hedged by the Fund through foreign currency exchange transactions. Foreign Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets: Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies due to: smaller markets; differing reporting, accounting, and auditing standards; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation; foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or replacement; potential for default on sovereign debt; or political changes or diplomatic developments, which may include the imposition of economic sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments and supranational organizations. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region. Foreign investment risks may be greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets. High-Yield Securities: Lower quality securities (including securities that have fallen below investment-grade and are classified as “junk bonds” or “high yield securities”) have greater credit risk and liquidity risk than higher quality (investment-grade) securities, and their issuers' long-term ability to make payments is considered speculative. Prices of lower quality bonds or other debt instruments are also more volatile, are more sensitive to negative news about the economy or the issuer, and have greater liquidity and price volatility risk. Index Strategy: An Underlying Fund that seeks to track an index’s performance and does not use defensive strategies or attempt to reduce its exposure to poor performing securities in an index may underperform the overall market. To the extent an Underlying Fund’s investments track its target index, such Underlying Index Fund may underperform other funds that invest more broadly. The correlation between an Underlying Index Fund’s performance and index performance will be reduced by the Underlying Index Fund’s expenses and could be reduced by the timing of purchases and redemptions of the Underlying Index Fund’s shares. In addition, an Underlying Index Fund’s actual holdings might not match the index and an Underlying Index Fund’s effective exposure to index securities at any given time may not precisely correlate. When deciding between Underlying Index Funds benchmarked to the same index, the manager may not select the Underlying Index Fund with the lowest expenses. If the Fund invests in an Underlying Index Fund with higher expenses, the Fund's performance would be lower than if the Fund had invested in an Underlying Index Fund with comparable performance but lower expenses (although any expense limitation arrangements in place at the time might have the effect of limiting or eliminating the amount of that underperformance). Interest Rate: With bonds and other fixed rate debt instruments, a rise in market interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as market interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the instrument, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. In the case of inverse securities, the interest rate paid by the securities is a floating rate, which generally will decrease when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed increases and will increase when the market rate of interest to which the inverse security is indexed decreases. As of the date of this Prospectus, the United States experiences a low interest rate environment, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. To the extent that the Fund invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. Increased redemptions may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so and may lower returns. If dealer capacity in fixed-income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income markets. Further, recent and potential future changes in government policy may affect interest rates. Investment Model: A manager’s proprietary model may not adequately allow for existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors. Funds that are actively managed, in whole or in part, according to a quantitative investment model can perform differently from the market as a whole based on the investment model and the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor, and changes from the factors’ historical trends. Mistakes in the construction and implementation of the investment models (including, for example, data problems and/or software issues) may create errors or limitations that might go undetected or are discovered only after the errors or limitations have negatively impacted performance. There is no guarantee that the use of these investment models will result in effective investment decisions for the Fund. Liquidity: If a security is illiquid, the Fund might be unable to sell the security at a time when the Fund’s manager might wish to sell, or at all. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, exposing the Fund to the risk that the price at which it sells illiquid securities will be less than the price at which they were valued when held by the Fund. The prices of illiquid securities may be more volatile than more liquid investments. The risks associated with illiquid securities may be greater in times of financial stress. The Fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the Fund. Market: Stock prices may be volatile or have reduced liquidity in response to real or perceived impacts of factors including, but not limited to, economic conditions, changes in market interest rates, and political events. Stock markets tend to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax policies or developments in these areas may adversely impact the investment techniques available to a manager, add to costs and impair the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives. Market Capitalization: Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories - large, mid, and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. If valuations of large-capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to the valuations of mid- or small-capitalization companies, investors may migrate to the stocks of mid- and small-sized companies causing a fund that invests in these companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in larger companies. Investing in mid- and small-capitalization companies may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, smaller management groups, more limited publicly available information, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared with larger companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may be more volatile and may decline significantly in market downturns. Other Investment Companies: The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Shares of investment companies that are listed on an exchange may trade at a discount or premium from their net asset value. You will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of those other investment companies (including management fees, administration fees, and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Fund. The investment policies of the other investment companies may not be the same as those of the Fund; as a result, an investment in the other investment companies may be subject to additional or different risks than those to which the Fund is typically subject. Prepayment and Extension: Many types of debt instruments are subject to prepayment and extension risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt instrument will pay back the principal earlier than expected. This may occur when interest rates decline. Prepayment may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. Also, if a debt instrument subject to prepayment has been purchased at a premium, the value of the premium would be lost in the event of prepayment. Extension risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt instrument will pay back the principal later than expected. This may occur when interest rates rise. This may negatively affect performance, as the value of the debt instrument decreases when principal payments are made later than expected. Additionally, the Fund may be prevented from investing proceeds it would have received at a given time at the higher prevailing interest rates. Real Estate Companies and Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”): Investing in real estate companies and REITs may subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, market interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes, and operating expenses in addition to terrorist attacks, war, or other acts that destroy real property. Investments in REITs are affected by the management skill and creditworthiness of the REIT. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests. U.S. Government Securities and Obligations: U.S. government securities are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. U.S. government securities are subject to market and interest rate risk, and may be subject to varying degrees of credit risk. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

[2] Expense information has been restated to reflect current contractual rates.
