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 49% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change in this investment policy. The Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in equity securities of companies organized under the laws of, or with principal offices located in, a number of different countries outside of the United States, including companies in countries in emerging markets. The Fund does not seek to focus its investments in a particular industry or country. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization. The equity securities in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, common stocks, preferred stocks, depositary receipts, rights and warrants to buy common stocks, privately placed securities, and IPOs. The Fund may invest in real estate-related securities including real estate investment trusts. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments including options, futures, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts. The Fund typically uses derivatives to seek to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate or currency risk, to substitute for taking a position in the underlying assets, for cash management, and/or to seek to enhance returns in the Fund.The Fund invests its assets in foreign investments which are denominated in U.S. dollars, major reserve currencies and currencies of other countries and can be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. To attempt to protect against adverse changes in currency exchange rates, the Fund may, but will not necessarily, use special techniques such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts.The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange traded funds, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and applicable exemptive orders thereunder (“1940 Act”).Voya Investments, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”) allocates the Fund’s assets to different sub-advisers. When selecting sub-advisers, the Investment Adviser will typically consider environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors as part of its investment analysis and decision-making processes. The Investment Adviser may, from time to time, directly manage a portion of the Fund’s assets to seek to manage the Fund’s overall risk exposure, to achieve the Fund’s desired risk/return profile, and to effect the Fund’s investment strategies. The Investment Adviser may invest in futures and exchange-traded funds to implement its investment process.Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited (“BG Overseas”), Polaris Capital Management, LLC (“Polaris”) and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”) (each a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively “Sub-Advisers”) provide day-to-day management of the Fund. The Sub-Advisers act independently of each other and use their own methodologies for selecting investments. The Fund's investment adviser will determine the amount of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-Adviser.Each Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others.The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 33 1∕3% of its total assets.Baillie Gifford Overseas LimitedBG Overseas’s investment style primarily uses a bottom-up, stock-driven approach, with the objective of selecting stocks that it believes can sustain an above-average growth rate, which is not reflected in the share price. A significant part of the assets will normally be divided among continental Europe, the United Kingdom, and Asia (including Australia and New Zealand). Country allocation, however, is driven by stock selection. BG Overseas invests in companies that it believes are well-managed, quality businesses that enjoy sustainable, competitive advantages in their marketplace.Companies are screened for quality first; valuation is a secondary consideration. BG Overseas looks for companies that it believes have attractive industry backgrounds, strong competitive positions within those industries, high-quality earnings, and a positive approach toward shareholders. The main fundamental factors that BG Overseas considers in this bottom-up analysis include earnings growth, cash flow growth, profitability, capital structure, and valuation. Further to the Fund’s long-term investment approach, BG Overseas seeks to identify companies with the potential to grow sustainably. When assessing a company’s ability to deliver sustainable growth over the long term, BG Overseas considers a range of factors, including the environmental, social and governance characteristics of a company.Polaris Capital Management, LLCPolaris uses proprietary investment technology combined with Graham & Dodd style fundamental research to seek to identify potential investments that Polaris believes have significantly undervalued streams of sustainable cash flow. The firm uses traditional valuation measures, including price/book ratios and price/sustainable free cash flow ratios to screen its database of more than 40,000 companies worldwide. Polaris uses these measures to identify approximately 500 companies that Polaris believes have the greatest potential for undervalued streams of sustainable free cash flow. As a cross check to the database screen, a global valuation model is used that seeks to identify the most undervalued countries based on corporate earnings, yield, inflation, interest rates, and other variables. Allocations among investments are primarily determined by bottom-up security analysis while providing diversification in terms of country, industry and market capitalization. Polaris monitors portfolio companies as well as a “watch list” comprised of companies which may be purchased if the valuation of an existing portfolio company falls below established limits.Wellington Management Company LLPWellington Management conducts fundamental research on individual companies to identify securities for purchase or sale. Fundamental analysis of a company involves the assessment of such factors as its business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues and dividends, and other related measures and indicators of value, including the evaluation of financially ESG factors based on Wellington Management’s proprietary ESG research. Wellington Management believes the integration of financially material ESG factors into its investment process allows it to better evaluate a company on its ability to improve or sustain its future returns over time. The factors that Wellington Management considers as part of its fundamental analysis, including the assessment of financially materially ESG factors, contribute to its overall evaluation of a company’s risk and return potential. Wellington Management seeks to invest in companies with underappreciated assets, improving and/or sustainable return on capital, and/or stocks that it believes are mispriced by the market due to short-term issues. This proprietary research takes into account each company’s long-term history as well as Wellington Management’s analysts’ forward-looking estimates, and allows for a comparison of the intrinsic value of stocks on a global basis focusing on return on invested capital in conjunction with other valuation metrics. Portfolio construction is driven primarily by bottom-up stock selection, with region, country, and sector weightings being secondary factors.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11.16pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Principal Risks</span>
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	You could lose money on an investment in the Fund. Any of the following risks, among others, could affect Fund performance or cause the Fund to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds.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.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.Derivative Instruments: Derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, including the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty, risk of loss due to changes in market interest rates and liquidity and volatility risk. The amounts required to purchase certain derivatives may be small relative to the magnitude of exposure assumed by the Fund. Therefore, the purchase of certain derivatives may have an economic leveraging effect on the Fund and exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging purposes, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. When used as an alternative or substitute for direct cash investment, the return provided by the derivative may not provide the same return as direct cash investment. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to the risk of improper valuation.Environmental, Social and/or Governance (multi-manager): Consideration by the Adviser of environmental, social and/or governance (“ESG”) factors in selecting sub-advisors may cause the Adviser not to select sub-advisors for the Fund that other investors that do not consider similar factors or that evaluate them differently might select. This may cause the Fund to underperform the securities markets generally or other funds whose advisers do not consider ESG factors or that use such factors differently. It is possible that the performance of sub-advisors identified through the Adviser’s consideration of ESG factors will be less favorable than the Adviser might have anticipated. The Adviser’s consideration of ESG factors in selecting sub-advisors may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s performance.Environmental, Social and/or Governance (strategy): The Sub-Adviser’s consideration of environmental, social and/or governance (“ESG”) factors in selecting investments for the Fund may cause it to forego other favorable investments that other investors who do not consider similar factors or who evaluate them differently might select. This may cause the Fund to underperform the stock market or relevant benchmark as a whole or other funds that do not consider ESG factors or that use such factors differently. The Sub-Adviser’s consideration of ESG factors is qualitative and subjective by nature, and it is possible that it will have an adverse effect on the Fund’s performance. In evaluating a company or issuer in light of ESG factors, the Sub-Adviser may consider information and data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting that may be incomplete or inaccurate. It is possible the companies or issuers identified through the Sub-Adviser’s consideration of ESG factors will not operate as expected and will not exhibit positive ESG characteristics to the extent the Sub-Adviser might have anticipated.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, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices; 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.Growth Investing: Prices of growth stocks are more sensitive to investor perceptions of the issuing company’s growth potential and may fall quickly and significantly if investors suspect that actual growth may be less than expected. There is a risk that funds that invest in growth-oriented stocks may underperform other funds that invest more broadly. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than value stocks, and may underperform the market as a whole over any given time period.Initial Public Offerings: Investments in initial public offerings ( “ IPOs ” ) and companies that have recently gone public have the potential to produce substantial gains for the Fund. However, there is no assurance that the Fund will have access to profitable IPOs or that the IPOs in which the Fund invests will rise in value. Furthermore, the value of securities of newly public companies may decline in value shortly after the IPO. When the Fund’s asset base is small, the impact of such investments on the Fund’s return will be magnified. If the Fund’s assets grow, it is likely that the effect of the Fund’s investment in IPOs on the Fund’s return will decline.Investing through Stock Connect: Shares in mainland China-based companies that trade on Chinese stock exchanges such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (“China A-Shares”) may be purchased directly or indirectly through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect (“Stock Connect”), a mutual market access program designed to, among other things, enable foreign investment in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) via brokers in Hong Kong. There are significant risks inherent in investing in China A-Shares through Stock Connect. The underdeveloped state of PRC’s investment and banking systems subjects the settlement, clearing, and registration of China A-Shares transactions to heightened risks. Stock Connect can only operate when both PRC and Hong Kong markets are open for trading and when banking services are available in both markets on the corresponding settlement days. As such, if either or both markets are closed on a U.S. trading day, the Fund may not be able to dispose of its China A-Shares in a timely manner, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance.The Chinese economy is generally considered an emerging and volatile market. Significant portions of the Chinese securities markets may become rapidly illiquid because Chinese issuers have the ability to suspend the trading of their equity securities under certain circumstances, and have shown a willingness to exercise that option in response to market volatility, epidemics, pandemics, adverse economic, market or political events, and other events. In addition, there may be restrictions on investments in Chinese companies. For example, on November 12, 2020, the President of the United States of America signed an Executive Order prohibiting U.S. persons from purchasing or investing in publicly-traded securities of companies identified by the U.S. government as “Communist Chinese military companies.” The list of such companies can change from time to time , and as a result of forced selling or inability to participate in an investment the Adviser otherwise believes is attractive, the Fund may incur losses.Investment Model: A manager’s proprietary model may not adequately allow for existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors.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.Market Disruption and Geopolitical: The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Due to the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region might adversely impact markets, issuers and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the U.S. Wars, terrorism, global health crises and pandemics, and other geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse short- or long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. Natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations are also highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in non-U.S. and domestic economic, social, and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the investments of the Fund and the Fund. Any of these occurrences could disrupt the operations of the Fund and of the Fund’s service providers.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.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.Securities Lending: Securities lending involves two primary risks: “ investment risk ” and “ borrower default risk. ” When lending securities, the Fund will receive cash or U.S. government securities as collateral. Investment risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security. Securities lending may result in leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value, causing the Fund to be more volatile. The use of leverage may increase expenses and increase the impact of the Fund’s other risks.Value Investing: Securities that appear to be undervalued may never appreciate to the extent expected. Further, because the prices of value-oriented securities tend to correlate more closely with economic cycles than growth-oriented securities, they generally are more sensitive to changing economic conditions, such as changes in market interest rates, corporate earnings and industrial production. The manager may be wrong in its assessment of a company’s value and the securities the Fund holds may not reach their full values. A particular risk of the Fund’s value approach is that some holdings may not recover and provide the capital growth anticipated or a security judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced. The market may not favor value-oriented securities and may not favor equities at all. During those periods, the Fund’s relative performance may suffer. There is a risk that funds that invest in value-oriented stocks may underperform other funds that invest more broadly.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.

Performance Narrative [Text Block]	rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock	The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund. The following bar chart shows the changes in the Fund's performance from year to year, and the table compares the Fund's performance to the performance of a broad-based securities market index/indices for the same period. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund's Class I shares. Performance for other share classes would differ to the extent they have differences in their fees and expenses. The Class P shares performance shown for the period prior to their inception date is the performance of Class I shares without adjustment for any differences in the expenses between the two classes. If adjusted for such differences, returns would be different.On July 27, 2020, Lazard Asset Management LLC (which served as a sub-adviser from July 1, 2013 to July 27, 2020) was removed. On January 20, 2017, Polaris Capital Management, LLC and Wellington Management Company LLP were added as additional sub-advisers and J.P. Morgan Investment management Inc. (which served as a sub-adviser from July 1, 2013 to January 20, 2017) and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (which served as a sub-adviser from December 15, 2010 to January 20, 2017) were removed as sub-advisers. On July 1, 2013, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. and Lazard Asset Management LLC were added as additional sub-advisers. These changes to the sub-advisers resulted in a change to the Fund’s principal investment strategies. If the Fund’s current sub-advisers and strategies had been in place for the prior period, the performance information shown would have been different.
