Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations that, in the Fund's investment advisor's opinion, display characteristics of a "blue chip" company. The advisor tends to focus on securities of companies that show potential for growth of capital as well as an expectation for above average earnings. The Fund also invests in securities of foreign companies. It is non-diversified. Over the year, the Fund benefited from company selection in the communication services and real estate sectors. Allocation in the financials and consumer staples sectors contributed to performance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index (“Index”), led by Charles Schwab and Brookfield. Microsoft was the Fund’s largest contributor. The company has numerous opportunities ahead, including incorporating generative artificial intelligence ("AI") tools across its platform. The next largest contributor was Netflix. The company grew its advertising-supported pricing tier rapidly. The third largest contributor was Amazon. Its cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services, continued to expand, assisted by AI investments. Information technology detracted from performance relative to the Index, primarily due to having a smaller weight in Nvidia than the Index weight. Danaher was the Fund’s largest detractor. With pandemic inventory destocking now behind them, Danaher has scale advantages to gain share.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations that, in the Fund's investment advisor's opinion, display characteristics of a "blue chip" company. The advisor tends to focus on securities of companies that show potential for growth of capital as well as an expectation for above average earnings. The Fund also invests in securities of foreign companies. It is non-diversified. Over the year, the Fund benefited from company selection in the communication services and real estate sectors. Allocation in the financials and consumer staples sectors contributed to performance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index (“Index”), led by Charles Schwab and Brookfield. Microsoft was the Fund’s largest contributor. The company has numerous opportunities ahead, including incorporating generative artificial intelligence ("AI") tools across its platform. The next largest contributor was Netflix. The company grew its advertising-supported pricing tier rapidly. The third largest contributor was Amazon. Its cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services, continued to expand, assisted by AI investments. Information technology detracted from performance relative to the Index, primarily due to having a smaller weight in Nvidia than the Index weight. Danaher was the Fund’s largest detractor. With pandemic inventory destocking now behind them, Danaher has scale advantages to gain share.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations that, in the Fund's investment advisor's opinion, display characteristics of a "blue chip" company. The advisor tends to focus on securities of companies that show potential for growth of capital as well as an expectation for above average earnings. The Fund also invests in securities of foreign companies. It is non-diversified. Over the year, the Fund benefited from company selection in the communication services and real estate sectors. Allocation in the financials and consumer staples sectors contributed to performance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index (“Index”), led by Charles Schwab and Brookfield. Microsoft was the Fund’s largest contributor. The company has numerous opportunities ahead, including incorporating generative artificial intelligence ("AI") tools across its platform. The next largest contributor was Netflix. The company grew its advertising-supported pricing tier rapidly. The third largest contributor was Amazon. Its cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services, continued to expand, assisted by AI investments. Information technology detracted from performance relative to the Index, primarily due to having a smaller weight in Nvidia than the Index weight. Danaher was the Fund’s largest detractor. With pandemic inventory destocking now behind them, Danaher has scale advantages to gain share.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations that, in the Fund's investment advisor's opinion, display characteristics of a "blue chip" company. The advisor tends to focus on securities of companies that show potential for growth of capital as well as an expectation for above average earnings. The Fund also invests in securities of foreign companies. It is non-diversified. Over the year, the Fund benefited from company selection in the communication services and real estate sectors. Allocation in the financials and consumer staples sectors contributed to performance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index (“Index”), led by Charles Schwab and Brookfield. Microsoft was the Fund’s largest contributor. The company has numerous opportunities ahead, including incorporating generative artificial intelligence ("AI") tools across its platform. The next largest contributor was Netflix. The company grew its advertising-supported pricing tier rapidly. The third largest contributor was Amazon. Its cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services, continued to expand, assisted by AI investments. Information technology detracted from performance relative to the Index, primarily due to having a smaller weight in Nvidia than the Index weight. Danaher was the Fund’s largest detractor. With pandemic inventory destocking now behind them, Danaher has scale advantages to gain share.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations that, in the Fund's investment advisor's opinion, display characteristics of a "blue chip" company. The advisor tends to focus on securities of companies that show potential for growth of capital as well as an expectation for above average earnings. The Fund also invests in securities of foreign companies. It is non-diversified. Over the year, the Fund benefited from company selection in the communication services and real estate sectors. Allocation in the financials and consumer staples sectors contributed to performance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index (“Index”), led by Charles Schwab and Brookfield. Microsoft was the Fund’s largest contributor. The company has numerous opportunities ahead, including incorporating generative artificial intelligence ("AI") tools across its platform. The next largest contributor was Netflix. The company grew its advertising-supported pricing tier rapidly. The third largest contributor was Amazon. Its cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services, continued to expand, assisted by AI investments. Information technology detracted from performance relative to the Index, primarily due to having a smaller weight in Nvidia than the Index weight. Danaher was the Fund’s largest detractor. With pandemic inventory destocking now behind them, Danaher has scale advantages to gain share.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments designed to track the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") at the time of purchase. The Index is composed of investment grade, fixed-rate debt issues with maturities of one year or more, including government securities, corporate securities, and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products). During the most recently completed fiscal year ending August 31, 2025, the Fund’s investments performed in line with the Index. The top contributors to performance included a slightly higher allocation compared to Index weight to investment grade corporate bonds, security specific impacts within U.S. Treasury securities, and a slightly higher allocation compared to Index weight to sovereign bonds. The top detractors from performance for the fiscal year included security specific impacts within mortgage-backed securities, a slightly lower allocation compared to Index weight to commercial mortgage-backed securities, and security specific impacts within investment grade corporate bonds.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments designed to track the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") at the time of purchase. The Index is composed of investment grade, fixed-rate debt issues with maturities of one year or more, including government securities, corporate securities, and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products). During the most recently completed fiscal year ending August 31, 2025, the Fund’s investments performed in line with the Index. The top contributors to performance included a slightly higher allocation compared to Index weight to investment grade corporate bonds, security specific impacts within U.S. Treasury securities, and a slightly higher allocation compared to Index weight to sovereign bonds. The top detractors from performance for the fiscal year included security specific impacts within mortgage-backed securities, a slightly lower allocation compared to Index weight to commercial mortgage-backed securities, and security specific impacts within investment grade corporate bonds.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments designed to track the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") at the time of purchase. The Index is composed of investment grade, fixed-rate debt issues with maturities of one year or more, including government securities, corporate securities, and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products). During the most recently completed fiscal year ending August 31, 2025, the Fund’s investments performed in line with the Index. The top contributors to performance included a slightly higher allocation compared to Index weight to investment grade corporate bonds, security specific impacts within U.S. Treasury securities, and a slightly higher allocation compared to Index weight to sovereign bonds. The top detractors from performance for the fiscal year included security specific impacts within mortgage-backed securities, a slightly lower allocation compared to Index weight to commercial mortgage-backed securities, and security specific impacts within investment grade corporate bonds.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in capital securities. It may invest up to 100% of its assets in below investment grade (sometimes called "junk") preferred securities, which are rated at the time of purchase Ba1 or lower by Moody's and BB+ or lower by S&P Global. The Fund concentrates its investments (invests more than 25% of its net assets) in securities in one or more industries (i.e., banking, insurance, and commercial finance) within the U.S. and non-U.S. (foreign) financial services sector. The bond market went through a series of stop and go exercises over the past year as the Fed cut the target rate by 100 basis points to 4.25% by the end of December but then paused over concerns of inflation being further impelled by President Trump’s tariff threats. Indeed, tariff threats accelerated March to April which caused an equity correction and a material widening of hybrid credit spreads against a backdrop of long-term rates rising into May and staying elevated into August. Over the course of the year, spreads traded from being about 1 standard deviation tight to +1 ½ standard deviations wide by April – only to snap back over the course of the summer to close August being about ½ standard deviation tighter than 1 year ago. Allocation and security selection within the Banking and Insurance Industries were the primary contributors in absolute terms and relative to the Ice BofA U.S. All Capital Securities Index (“Index”). Electric Utility, Pipelines and Diversified Financial Services contributed positively, but underweight concentrations in each detracted from relative Index performance. Inflation concerns and economic resilience continue to keep U.S. Treasury rates high and credit spreads tighter than average.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks a long-term total return in excess of inflation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments related to real assets and real asset companies. It allocates its assets among general investment categories related to real assets, which include tangible assets and investments that are expected to perform well in periods of rising or high inflation, such as the following: infrastructure, natural resources, commodities, real estate, inflation-indexed bonds, and floating rate debt. Asset allocation and manager selection hindered results. Manager selection within infrastructure was a significant detractor. Both active managers suffered from underperforming positions in wireless towers and energy, while Clearbridge Investments was further hampered by an underweight position in airports, and Delaware Investments suffered acutely from poor stock selection within utilities. Style selection within infrastructure, specifically tactical exposures to infrastructure development and energy infrastructure ETFs, was a further detriment. In natural resources, Newton Investment Management suffered from weak stock selection within fertilizers, as well as having no exposure to rallying gold miners. An overweight position in energy during a period of falling spot prices also hurt returns. Several positive factors partially offset these challenges: a tactical allocation to gold benefited from strong central bank demand and safe-haven seekers, and manager selection within real estate investment trusts helped due in part to favorable selection within healthcare. Finally, an allocation to bank loans was rewarded. Derivatives had no material impact on performance.

No Deduction of Taxes [Text Block] The graph above represents historical performance of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund over the past ten years (or since inception if shorter). The table and graph above do not reflect the impact of taxes. If they did, performance would be lower.  
Performance Table Market Index Changed [Text Block] The MSCI ACWI Index NTR is the Fund's primary broad-based index and is included to meet the recently revised definition of “broad-based securities market index”. The Fund uses a blended benchmark, Diversified Real Asset Index (Linked). The largest component of the blended benchmark, S&P Global Infrastructure Index NTR, is included as an additional index for the Fund to show how the Fund’s performance compares with returns of indices of funds with similar investment objectives. The weightings of the Diversified Real Asset Index (Linked) are as follows: 30% S&P Global Infrastructure Index NTR, 25% FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Markets Index NTR, 15% S&P Global Natural Resources Index NTR, 15% Bloomberg Commodity Index TR, and 15% Bloomberg U.S. Treasury TIPS Index.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks a long-term total return in excess of inflation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments related to real assets and real asset companies. It allocates its assets among general investment categories related to real assets, which include tangible assets and investments that are expected to perform well in periods of rising or high inflation, such as the following: infrastructure, natural resources, commodities, real estate, inflation-indexed bonds, and floating rate debt. Asset allocation and manager selection hindered results. Manager selection within infrastructure was a significant detractor. Both active managers suffered from underperforming positions in wireless towers and energy, while Clearbridge Investments was further hampered by an underweight position in airports, and Delaware Investments suffered acutely from poor stock selection within utilities. Style selection within infrastructure, specifically tactical exposures to infrastructure development and energy infrastructure ETFs, was a further detriment. In natural resources, Newton Investment Management suffered from weak stock selection within fertilizers, as well as having no exposure to rallying gold miners. An overweight position in energy during a period of falling spot prices also hurt returns. Several positive factors partially offset these challenges: a tactical allocation to gold benefited from strong central bank demand and safe-haven seekers, and manager selection within real estate investment trusts helped due in part to favorable selection within healthcare. Finally, an allocation to bank loans was rewarded. Derivatives had no material impact on performance.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks a long-term total return in excess of inflation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments related to real assets and real asset companies. It allocates its assets among general investment categories related to real assets, which include tangible assets and investments that are expected to perform well in periods of rising or high inflation, such as the following: infrastructure, natural resources, commodities, real estate, inflation-indexed bonds, and floating rate debt. Asset allocation and manager selection hindered results. Manager selection within infrastructure was a significant detractor. Both active managers suffered from underperforming positions in wireless towers and energy, while Clearbridge Investments was further hampered by an underweight position in airports, and Delaware Investments suffered acutely from poor stock selection within utilities. Style selection within infrastructure, specifically tactical exposures to infrastructure development and energy infrastructure ETFs, was a further detriment. In natural resources, Newton Investment Management suffered from weak stock selection within fertilizers, as well as having no exposure to rallying gold miners. An overweight position in energy during a period of falling spot prices also hurt returns. Several positive factors partially offset these challenges: a tactical allocation to gold benefited from strong central bank demand and safe-haven seekers, and manager selection within real estate investment trusts helped due in part to favorable selection within healthcare. Finally, an allocation to bank loans was rewarded. Derivatives had no material impact on performance.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks a long-term total return in excess of inflation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments related to real assets and real asset companies. It allocates its assets among general investment categories related to real assets, which include tangible assets and investments that are expected to perform well in periods of rising or high inflation, such as the following: infrastructure, natural resources, commodities, real estate, inflation-indexed bonds, and floating rate debt. Asset allocation and manager selection hindered results. Manager selection within infrastructure was a significant detractor. Both active managers suffered from underperforming positions in wireless towers and energy, while Clearbridge Investments was further hampered by an underweight position in airports, and Delaware Investments suffered acutely from poor stock selection within utilities. Style selection within infrastructure, specifically tactical exposures to infrastructure development and energy infrastructure ETFs, was a further detriment. In natural resources, Newton Investment Management suffered from weak stock selection within fertilizers, as well as having no exposure to rallying gold miners. An overweight position in energy during a period of falling spot prices also hurt returns. Several positive factors partially offset these challenges: a tactical allocation to gold benefited from strong central bank demand and safe-haven seekers, and manager selection within real estate investment trusts helped due in part to favorable selection within healthcare. Finally, an allocation to bank loans was rewarded. Derivatives had no material impact on performance.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. It invests in real estate investment trust securities. The Fund invests in equity securities with value and/or growth characteristics and constructs an investment portfolio that has a "blend" of equity securities with these characteristics. Cloudflare Inc (NET) contributed to results due to investor enthusiasm about artificial intelligence (AI) and robust demand, particularly from AI customers. Live Nation Entertainment Inc (LYV) produces live concerts and sells tickets for leading arenas, stadiums, professional sports franchises and leagues, college sports teams, performing arts venues, museums, and theaters.  The company outperformed as business fundamentals remained very strong despite regulatory risk and the company continued to see strong growth in concerts and sponsorships/advertising.  Monolithic Power Systems Inc (MPWR) beat expectations and gave revenue guidance that was significantly above consensus, driven by strength across personal computers, storage and memory. Not owning Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR) detracted from results during the year. Bio-Techne Corporation (TECH) lagged as investors worried about weaker U.S. academic/National Institutes of Health (NIH ) funding, slower biotech funding, increased China uncertainty and tariffs.  Finally, Universal Health Services Inc (UHS) lagged as hospitals were pressured during the year.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. It invests in real estate investment trust securities. The Fund invests in equity securities with value and/or growth characteristics and constructs an investment portfolio that has a "blend" of equity securities with these characteristics. Cloudflare Inc (NET) contributed to results due to investor enthusiasm about artificial intelligence (AI) and robust demand, particularly from AI customers. Live Nation Entertainment Inc (LYV) produces live concerts and sells tickets for leading arenas, stadiums, professional sports franchises and leagues, college sports teams, performing arts venues, museums, and theaters.  The company outperformed as business fundamentals remained very strong despite regulatory risk and the company continued to see strong growth in concerts and sponsorships/advertising.  Monolithic Power Systems Inc (MPWR) beat expectations and gave revenue guidance that was significantly above consensus, driven by strength across personal computers, storage and memory. Not owning Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR) detracted from results during the year. Bio-Techne Corporation (TECH) lagged as investors worried about weaker U.S. academic/National Institutes of Health (NIH ) funding, slower biotech funding, increased China uncertainty and tariffs.  Finally, Universal Health Services Inc (UHS) lagged as hospitals were pressured during the year.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. It invests in real estate investment trust securities. The Fund invests in equity securities with value and/or growth characteristics and constructs an investment portfolio that has a "blend" of equity securities with these characteristics. Cloudflare Inc (NET) contributed to results due to investor enthusiasm about artificial intelligence (AI) and robust demand, particularly from AI customers. Live Nation Entertainment Inc (LYV) produces live concerts and sells tickets for leading arenas, stadiums, professional sports franchises and leagues, college sports teams, performing arts venues, museums, and theaters.  The company outperformed as business fundamentals remained very strong despite regulatory risk and the company continued to see strong growth in concerts and sponsorships/advertising.  Monolithic Power Systems Inc (MPWR) beat expectations and gave revenue guidance that was significantly above consensus, driven by strength across personal computers, storage and memory. Not owning Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR) detracted from results during the year. Bio-Techne Corporation (TECH) lagged as investors worried about weaker U.S. academic/National Institutes of Health (NIH ) funding, slower biotech funding, increased China uncertainty and tariffs.  Finally, Universal Health Services Inc (UHS) lagged as hospitals were pressured during the year.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation with an emphasis on positive total returns and managing volatility. The Fund invests in a broad range of instruments including, but not limited to, equities, bonds, currencies, commodities, convertible securities, and bank loans. Under normal market conditions, it invests in securities of issuers located throughout the world, including the U.S., invests at least 30% of its net assets in foreign and emerging market securities, and holds investments tied economically to at least twenty countries. The Fund’s largest contributors were its equity hedge sleeves managed by Gotham Asset Management (“Gotham”) and Los Angeles Capital Management (“LA Capital”). LA Capital delivered admirable returns, led by positive stock selection in materials and consumer staples. Gotham owns large cap quality stocks with high free cash flow; performance benefited from stock selection in technology and communications. The emerging market debt relative value sleeve managed by Principal Finisterre, an investment team within Principal Global Investors (“Finisterre”), was also a large contributor. Emerging market debt gained over the year, and Finisterre outperformed, making profits across every region. The credit relative value sleeve managed by Loomis Sayles & Company also contributed; performance was driven by investment grade corporate bonds, securitized debt, and high yield debt. The Fund’s sole detractor was the systematic global macro sleeve managed by Graham Capital Management (“Graham”). Graham’s strategy can be volatile but helps as a portfolio diversifier. The Fund and its subadvisors use derivatives to gain exposure to asset classes as well as to reduce portfolio risk.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation with an emphasis on positive total returns and managing volatility. The Fund invests in a broad range of instruments including, but not limited to, equities, bonds, currencies, commodities, convertible securities, and bank loans. Under normal market conditions, it invests in securities of issuers located throughout the world, including the U.S., invests at least 30% of its net assets in foreign and emerging market securities, and holds investments tied economically to at least twenty countries. The Fund’s largest contributors were its equity hedge sleeves managed by Gotham Asset Management (“Gotham”) and Los Angeles Capital Management (“LA Capital”). LA Capital delivered admirable returns, led by positive stock selection in materials and consumer staples. Gotham owns large cap quality stocks with high free cash flow; performance benefited from stock selection in technology and communications. The emerging market debt relative value sleeve managed by Principal Finisterre, an investment team within Principal Global Investors (“Finisterre”), was also a large contributor. Emerging market debt gained over the year, and Finisterre outperformed, making profits across every region. The credit relative value sleeve managed by Loomis Sayles & Company also contributed; performance was driven by investment grade corporate bonds, securitized debt, and high yield debt. The Fund’s sole detractor was the systematic global macro sleeve managed by Graham Capital Management (“Graham”). Graham’s strategy can be volatile but helps as a portfolio diversifier. The Fund and its subadvisors use derivatives to gain exposure to asset classes as well as to reduce portfolio risk.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to achieve total return by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities issued by listed infrastructure companies. It invests primarily in equity securities regardless of market capitalization (small, medium, or large) and invests in both value and growth securities. The Fund also invests in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") but only those REITs that are engaged in the development, operation, or management of infrastructure assets. It is non-diversified. The Fund’s investments outperformed the FTSE Global Core Infrastructure 50/50 Index over the year, attributed to strong stock selection. An underweight to a Thailand airports company pressured by liquidity challenges and reduced Chinese tourist traffic stemming from safety concerns was beneficial. Meanwhile, an overweight to Beijing airports captured a rebound in international travel and supportive policy measures in China. Not holding an Indian port operator added value, as the stock declined following a market reassessment of its valuation after a period of strength. An overweight to a Chinese electric utility contributed as investor sentiment improved, driven by solid fundamentals and a policy-led inflection. Overweights to North American electric utilities was also a main contributor, with these stocks performing well due to favorable regulatory outcomes and strong demand trends and growth drivers—particularly related to data center demand and industrial reshoring. A main detractor was an overweight to a European renewable energy company, which sold off amid ongoing U.S. renewables policy uncertainty and concerns around balance sheet strength.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities that compose the MSCI EAFE Index ("Index"). The Index is a market-weighted equity index designed to measure the equity performance of developed markets, excluding the United States and Canada. The advisor employs a passive investment approach designed to attempt to track the performance of the Index. During the 12 months ending August 31, 2025, the Fund's investment performance was in line with the Index. The Fund uses an indexing strategy and does not attempt to manage market volatility, use defensive strategies or reduce the effect of any long-term periods of negative stock market performance. Nine of the eleven economic sectors in the Index posted positive returns as financials and communication services posted the best returns for the year. The healthcare and information technology sectors were the weakest performers. Siemens Energy, Rheinmetall, and Sea Limited contributed to Fund performance. Novo Nordisk, Daiichi Sankyo, and CSL Limited detracted from Fund performance for the year.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities that compose the MSCI EAFE Index ("Index"). The Index is a market-weighted equity index designed to measure the equity performance of developed markets, excluding the United States and Canada. The advisor employs a passive investment approach designed to attempt to track the performance of the Index. During the 12 months ending August 31, 2025, the Fund's investment performance was in line with the Index. The Fund uses an indexing strategy and does not attempt to manage market volatility, use defensive strategies or reduce the effect of any long-term periods of negative stock market performance. Nine of the eleven economic sectors in the Index posted positive returns as financials and communication services posted the best returns for the year. The healthcare and information technology sectors were the weakest performers. Siemens Energy, Rheinmetall, and Sea Limited contributed to Fund performance. Novo Nordisk, Daiichi Sankyo, and CSL Limited detracted from Fund performance for the year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations. It invests primarily in foreign equity securities. The Fund typically invests in foreign securities of more than 10 countries but has no limitation on the percentage of assets that is invested in each country or denominated in any currency. The Fund’s investments underperformed the MSCI World Ex USA Small Cap Net for the trailing year. Stock selection within the United Kingdom stood out as a key detractor from relative performance led by consumer discretionary. In U.K. discretionary, retail holdings with a focus on athletic footwear and apparel underperformed amid slowing demand from consumers and concerns over slowing product innovation. Healthcare stood out as a detractor during the year from a sector perspective amid profit warnings and continued subdued demand in the cosmetics and medication end markets which impacted the Fund’s healthcare focused container and packaging holding. Europe and Japan stood out as key contributors to relative performance during the year. In Europe, a Swedish aerospace and defense holding and a German steel company holding both benefitted from exposure to the defense industry's outperformance amid increased European demand for military equipment. Japanese industrial companies performed well amid increased demand for offerings within the gas turbine and nuclear infrastructure end markets.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies with small market capitalizations. It invests primarily in foreign equity securities. The Fund typically invests in foreign securities of more than 10 countries but has no limitation on the percentage of assets that is invested in each country or denominated in any currency. The Fund’s investments underperformed the MSCI World Ex USA Small Cap Net for the trailing year. Stock selection within the United Kingdom stood out as a key detractor from relative performance led by consumer discretionary. In U.K. discretionary, retail holdings with a focus on athletic footwear and apparel underperformed amid slowing demand from consumers and concerns over slowing product innovation. Healthcare stood out as a detractor during the year from a sector perspective amid profit warnings and continued subdued demand in the cosmetics and medication end markets which impacted the Fund’s healthcare focused container and packaging holding. Europe and Japan stood out as key contributors to relative performance during the year. In Europe, a Swedish aerospace and defense holding and a German steel company holding both benefitted from exposure to the defense industry's outperformance amid increased European demand for military equipment. Japanese industrial companies performed well amid increased demand for offerings within the gas turbine and nuclear infrastructure end markets.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide a high level of income that is exempt from federal income tax while protecting investors' capital. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal obligations, which are securities issued by or on behalf of state or local governments and other public authorities. It invests in other debt obligations, including (but not limited to) taxable municipal obligations; U.S. Treasury securities; obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies, and instrumentalities; and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to gain exposure to the municipal market. The municipal market has experienced many uncertainties this year. A primary challenge was whether the new administration would eliminate the exemption status to chip away at a growing budget deficit. Additionally, issuance was above average resulting in elevated yields. This created an environment where it was only a matter of time before both traditional and cross-over investors would capitalize on the opportunity. The Fund effectively toggled between investment and below-investment grade paper. Considering the multitude of risks, the Fund was managed conservatively. Although the Fund allows a large percentage of high-yield holdings, most purchases stress high quality names possessing liquidity. Even the lower quality names acquired were essential services possessing substantial moats versus their sectors. Additionally, the Fund’s duration risk was below Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index. The Fund has gradually added risk especially after the precipitous drop in money market yields. There is certainly a struggle on whether inflation or recession is a larger risk. However, the characteristics of municipal credit should allow the Fund to prosper in either scenario.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income and long-term growth of income and capital. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in dividend-paying equity securities of companies with small-to-medium market capitalizations at the time of purchase. Its investments include the securities of foreign issuers and real estate investment trusts. Williams-Sonoma Inc (WSM) helped performance as the company improved its margin structure, store efficiency, and drove e-commerce sales.  Comfort Systems USA (FIX) beat expectations with earnings rising significantly year over year, strong same store revenue growth and an impressive backlog. Raymond James Financial (RJF) benefited from investor enthusiasm for banks and a strong balance sheet.  Not owning Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD) detracted from results.  Select Medical Holdings Corp (SEM) hindered results as margins were pressured due to reimbursement headwinds. Finally, Brunswick Corporation (BC) lagged as the marine industry is in the midst of an inventory correction driven by higher interest rates and softening boat demand.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income and long-term growth of income and capital. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in dividend-paying equity securities of companies with small-to-medium market capitalizations at the time of purchase. Its investments include the securities of foreign issuers and real estate investment trusts. Williams-Sonoma Inc (WSM) helped performance as the company improved its margin structure, store efficiency, and drove e-commerce sales.  Comfort Systems USA (FIX) beat expectations with earnings rising significantly year over year, strong same store revenue growth and an impressive backlog. Raymond James Financial (RJF) benefited from investor enthusiasm for banks and a strong balance sheet.  Not owning Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD) detracted from results.  Select Medical Holdings Corp (SEM) hindered results as margins were pressured due to reimbursement headwinds. Finally, Brunswick Corporation (BC) lagged as the marine industry is in the midst of an inventory correction driven by higher interest rates and softening boat demand.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Raymond James Financial (RJF) benefited from investor enthusiasm for banks and a strong balance sheet.  Not owning Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD) detracted from results.  Select Medical Holdings Corp (SEM) hindered results as margins were pressured due to reimbursement headwinds. Finally, Brunswick Corporation (BC) lagged as the marine industry is in the midst of an inventory correction driven by higher interest rates and softening boat demand.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income and long-term growth of income and capital. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in dividend-paying equity securities of companies with small-to-medium market capitalizations at the time of purchase. Its investments include the securities of foreign issuers and real estate investment trusts. Williams-Sonoma Inc (WSM) helped performance as the company improved its margin structure, store efficiency, and drove e-commerce sales.  Comfort Systems USA (FIX) beat expectations with earnings rising significantly year over year, strong same store revenue growth and an impressive backlog. Raymond James Financial (RJF) benefited from investor enthusiasm for banks and a strong balance sheet.  Not owning Robinhood Markets Inc (HOOD) detracted from results.  Select Medical Holdings Corp (SEM) hindered results as margins were pressured due to reimbursement headwinds. Finally, Brunswick Corporation (BC) lagged as the marine industry is in the midst of an inventory correction driven by higher interest rates and softening boat demand.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, in preferred securities and capital securities. Preferred securities typically include preferred stock and various types of junior subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. It also invests up to 55% of its assets in below-investment-grade preferred securities and bonds (sometimes called “high yield bonds” or “junk bonds”), which are rated at the time of purchase Ba1 or lower by Moody’s and BB+ or lower by S&P Global. The bond market went through a series of stop and go exercises over the past year as the Fed cut the target rate by 100 basis points to 4.25% by the end of December but then paused over concerns of inflation being further impelled by President Trump’s tariff threats. Indeed, tariff threats accelerated March to April which caused an equity correction and a material widening of hybrid credit spreads against a backdrop of long-term rates rising into May and staying elevated into August. Over the course of the year, spreads traded from being about 1 standard deviation tight to +1 ½ standard deviations wide by April – only to snap back over the course of the summer to close August being about ½ standard deviation tighter than 1year ago. Allocation and security selection within the Banking Industry were the primary contributors in absolute terms and relative to the Ice BofA U.S. All Capital Securities Index. Insurance and Financial Services contributed positively. Underweights in Electric Utilities and Pipelines contributed positively but detracted from relative performance due to underweights. Telecommunications and Real Estate Investment Trusts detracted. Inflation concerns and economic resilience continue to keep U.S. Treasury rates high and credit spreads tighter than average.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, in preferred securities and capital securities. Preferred securities typically include preferred stock and various types of junior subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. It also invests up to 55% of its assets in below-investment-grade preferred securities and bonds (sometimes called “high yield bonds” or “junk bonds”), which are rated at the time of purchase Ba1 or lower by Moody’s and BB+ or lower by S&P Global. The bond market went through a series of stop and go exercises over the past year as the Fed cut the target rate by 100 basis points to 4.25% by the end of December but then paused over concerns of inflation being further impelled by President Trump’s tariff threats. Indeed, tariff threats accelerated March to April which caused an equity correction and a material widening of hybrid credit spreads against a backdrop of long-term rates rising into May and staying elevated into August. Over the course of the year, spreads traded from being about 1 standard deviation tight to +1 ½ standard deviations wide by April – only to snap back over the course of the summer to close August being about ½ standard deviation tighter than 1year ago. Allocation and security selection within the Banking Industry were the primary contributors in absolute terms and relative to the Ice BofA U.S. All Capital Securities Index. Insurance and Financial Services contributed positively. Underweights in Electric Utilities and Pipelines contributed positively but detracted from relative performance due to underweights. Telecommunications and Real Estate Investment Trusts detracted. Inflation concerns and economic resilience continue to keep U.S. Treasury rates high and credit spreads tighter than average.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, in preferred securities and capital securities. Preferred securities typically include preferred stock and various types of junior subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. It also invests up to 55% of its assets in below-investment-grade preferred securities and bonds (sometimes called “high yield bonds” or “junk bonds”), which are rated at the time of purchase Ba1 or lower by Moody’s and BB+ or lower by S&P Global. The bond market went through a series of stop and go exercises over the past year as the Fed cut the target rate by 100 basis points to 4.25% by the end of December but then paused over concerns of inflation being further impelled by President Trump’s tariff threats. Indeed, tariff threats accelerated March to April which caused an equity correction and a material widening of hybrid credit spreads against a backdrop of long-term rates rising into May and staying elevated into August. Over the course of the year, spreads traded from being about 1 standard deviation tight to +1 ½ standard deviations wide by April – only to snap back over the course of the summer to close August being about ½ standard deviation tighter than 1year ago. Allocation and security selection within the Banking Industry were the primary contributors in absolute terms and relative to the Ice BofA U.S. All Capital Securities Index. Insurance and Financial Services contributed positively. Underweights in Electric Utilities and Pipelines contributed positively but detracted from relative performance due to underweights. Telecommunications and Real Estate Investment Trusts detracted. Inflation concerns and economic resilience continue to keep U.S. Treasury rates high and credit spreads tighter than average.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, in preferred securities and capital securities. Preferred securities typically include preferred stock and various types of junior subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. It also invests up to 55% of its assets in below-investment-grade preferred securities and bonds (sometimes called “high yield bonds” or “junk bonds”), which are rated at the time of purchase Ba1 or lower by Moody’s and BB+ or lower by S&P Global. The bond market went through a series of stop and go exercises over the past year as the Fed cut the target rate by 100 basis points to 4.25% by the end of December but then paused over concerns of inflation being further impelled by President Trump’s tariff threats. Indeed, tariff threats accelerated March to April which caused an equity correction and a material widening of hybrid credit spreads against a backdrop of long-term rates rising into May and staying elevated into August. Over the course of the year, spreads traded from being about 1 standard deviation tight to +1 ½ standard deviations wide by April – only to snap back over the course of the summer to close August being about ½ standard deviation tighter than 1year ago. Allocation and security selection within the Banking Industry were the primary contributors in absolute terms and relative to the Ice BofA U.S. All Capital Securities Index. Insurance and Financial Services contributed positively. Underweights in Electric Utilities and Pipelines contributed positively but detracted from relative performance due to underweights. Telecommunications and Real Estate Investment Trusts detracted. Inflation concerns and economic resilience continue to keep U.S. Treasury rates high and credit spreads tighter than average.

 
Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] Past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund's future performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, in preferred securities and capital securities. Preferred securities typically include preferred stock and various types of junior subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. It also invests up to 55% of its assets in below-investment-grade preferred securities and bonds (sometimes called “high yield bonds” or “junk bonds”), which are rated at the time of purchase Ba1 or lower by Moody’s and BB+ or lower by S&P Global. The bond market went through a series of stop and go exercises over the past year as the Fed cut the target rate by 100 basis points to 4.25% by the end of December but then paused over concerns of inflation being further impelled by President Trump’s tariff threats. Indeed, tariff threats accelerated March to April which caused an equity correction and a material widening of hybrid credit spreads against a backdrop of long-term rates rising into May and staying elevated into August. Over the course of the year, spreads traded from being about 1 standard deviation tight to +1 ½ standard deviations wide by April – only to snap back over the course of the summer to close August being about ½ standard deviation tighter than 1year ago. Allocation and security selection within the Banking Industry were the primary contributors in absolute terms and relative to the Ice BofA U.S. All Capital Securities Index. Insurance and Financial Services contributed positively. Underweights in Electric Utilities and Pipelines contributed positively but detracted from relative performance due to underweights. Telecommunications and Real Estate Investment Trusts detracted. Inflation concerns and economic resilience continue to keep U.S. Treasury rates high and credit spreads tighter than average.

Performance Inception Date May 01, 2002  
No Deduction of Taxes [Text Block] The graph above represents historical performance of a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund over the past ten years (or since inception if shorter). The table and graph above do not reflect the impact of taxes. If they did, performance would be lower.  
Performance Table Market Index Changed [Text Block] The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index is the Fund's primary broad-based index and is included to meet the recently revised definition of “broad-based securities market index”. The ICE BofA US All Capital Securities Index is included as an additional index for the Fund as it shows how the Fund’s performance compares with the returns of an index of funds with similar investment objectives.
