Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide as high a level of current income that is exempt from federal and state personal income tax as is consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in California municipal obligations (securities issued by or on behalf of state or local governments and other public authorities). Generally, these municipal obligations pay interest that is exempt from state personal income tax and federal income tax. Over the past 12 months, yields on the Bloomberg California Municipal Index (“Index”) decreased slightly leading to gains for the Index over the year. Regarding the fund’s performance, duration was a slight positive contributor. Issuer selection detracted from performance as did sector allocation to a lesser degree. The top sector contributors were electric/gas, multi-family housing, and ports while the top security contributors were Los Angeles California Department of Water & Power, California Pollution Control Financing Authority, and California Municipal Financial Authority. The top sector detractors were state tax, private university, and continuing care retirement communities while the top security detractors were California Infrastructure and Economic Development, California State, and Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist, Educational, Medical and Environmental Control Financing.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide as high a level of current income that is exempt from federal and state personal income tax as is consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in California municipal obligations (securities issued by or on behalf of state or local governments and other public authorities). Generally, these municipal obligations pay interest that is exempt from state personal income tax and federal income tax. Over the past 12 months, yields on the Bloomberg California Municipal Index (“Index”) decreased slightly leading to gains for the Index over the year. Regarding the fund’s performance, duration was a slight positive contributor. Issuer selection detracted from performance as did sector allocation to a lesser degree. The top sector contributors were electric/gas, multi-family housing, and ports while the top security contributors were Los Angeles California Department of Water & Power, California Pollution Control Financing Authority, and California Municipal Financial Authority. The top sector detractors were state tax, private university, and continuing care retirement communities while the top security detractors were California Infrastructure and Economic Development, California State, and Puerto Rico Industrial, Tourist, Educational, Medical and Environmental Control Financing.

 
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 current income consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in fixed-income securities. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified pool of investment-grade fixed-income securities, which includes corporate securities, U.S. government securities, asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products), bank loans, and foreign securities. During the fiscal year ending October 31, 2025, the Fund benefited from an overweight in corporate bonds and performance benefited further by security selection in the financial institutions sector.  Security selection in the consumer non-cyclical sector also contributed positively to performance. Security selection in transportation detracted from 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 to provide a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in fixed-income securities. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified pool of investment-grade fixed-income securities, which includes corporate securities, U.S. government securities, asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products), bank loans, and foreign securities. During the fiscal year ending October 31, 2025, the Fund benefited from an overweight in corporate bonds and performance benefited further by security selection in the financial institutions sector.  Security selection in the consumer non-cyclical sector also contributed positively to performance. Security selection in transportation detracted from 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 to provide a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in fixed-income securities. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified pool of investment-grade fixed-income securities, which includes corporate securities, U.S. government securities, asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products), bank loans, and foreign securities. During the fiscal year ending October 31, 2025, the Fund benefited from an overweight in corporate bonds and performance benefited further by security selection in the financial institutions sector.  Security selection in the consumer non-cyclical sector also contributed positively to performance. Security selection in transportation detracted from performance.

 
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 to provide a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in fixed-income securities. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified pool of investment-grade fixed-income securities, which includes corporate securities, U.S. government securities, asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products), bank loans, and foreign securities. During the fiscal year ending October 31, 2025, the Fund benefited from an overweight in corporate bonds and performance benefited further by security selection in the financial institutions sector.  Security selection in the consumer non-cyclical sector also contributed positively to performance. Security selection in transportation detracted from performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds. Bonds include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products, including collateralized mortgage obligations); and corporate bonds. The Fund’s investments outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index during the last 12 months, driven by sector allocation and security selection. Within sector allocation, outperformance was led by an out-of-index allocation to below investment grade corporate bonds, and an overweight allocation to investment grade corporate bonds. Overweight allocations to asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities also contributed to performance. Positive security selection was led by issuer specific performance within investment grade corporate bonds. Duration and curve positioning detracted from performance during the last 12 months.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds. Bonds include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products, including collateralized mortgage obligations); and corporate bonds. The Fund’s investments outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index during the last 12 months, driven by sector allocation and security selection. Within sector allocation, outperformance was led by an out-of-index allocation to below investment grade corporate bonds, and an overweight allocation to investment grade corporate bonds. Overweight allocations to asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities also contributed to performance. Positive security selection was led by issuer specific performance within investment grade corporate bonds. Duration and curve positioning detracted from performance during the last 12 months.

 
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, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds. Bonds include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products, including collateralized mortgage obligations); and corporate bonds. The Fund’s investments outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index during the last 12 months, driven by sector allocation and security selection. Within sector allocation, outperformance was led by an out-of-index allocation to below investment grade corporate bonds, and an overweight allocation to investment grade corporate bonds. Overweight allocations to asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities also contributed to performance. Positive security selection was led by issuer specific performance within investment grade corporate bonds. Duration and curve positioning detracted from performance during the last 12 months.

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

Bonds include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities (securitized products, including collateralized mortgage obligations); and corporate bonds. The Fund’s investments outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index during the last 12 months, driven by sector allocation and security selection. Within sector allocation, outperformance was led by an out-of-index allocation to below investment grade corporate bonds, and an overweight allocation to investment grade corporate bonds. Overweight allocations to asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities also contributed to performance. Positive security selection was led by issuer specific performance within investment grade corporate bonds. Duration and curve positioning detracted from performance during the last 12 months.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The investment seeks income. The Fund generally invests a majority of its assets in fixed income securities, such as investment-grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds (also known as "junk" bonds), preferred securities, securitized products, and emerging market debt securities, in an effort to provide incremental yields over a portfolio of government securities. Such securities include instruments with variable or floating interest rates. The fixed income portion of the Fund is not managed to a particular maturity or duration. The Fund invests in foreign, including emerging market, securities. The Fund uses derivative strategies.  An allocation to emerging market debt, managed by Principal Finisterre, an investment team within Principal Global Investors, was the most significant contributor to performance. The asset class has benefited from strong technicals as well as from favorable trends, including low emerging market inflation, supportive financial conditions, and broadly constructive commodity markets. Principal Finisterre significantly outpaced the broad emerging markets universe with key biases to Egypt, Mexico, and South Africa. Manager selection within preferred securities and investment grade credit were further contributors. Spectrum Asset Management benefited from its higher income profile and PineBridge Investments enjoyed strong security selection within financials and industrials. An allocation to securitized bonds further enhanced results, as did an allocation to private credit. These favorable strategies were offset by weak manager selection from Polen Capital Credit (“Polen”), within our high-yield allocation. Polen underperformed the high yield universe largely due to weakness within the reorganized equity holdings in the portfolio. These equity positions faced varying idiosyncratic headwinds and significantly lagged the strong returns of the broad high yield market.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The investment seeks income. The Fund generally invests a majority of its assets in fixed income securities, such as investment-grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds (also known as "junk" bonds), preferred securities, securitized products, and emerging market debt securities, in an effort to provide incremental yields over a portfolio of government securities. Such securities include instruments with variable or floating interest rates. The fixed income portion of the Fund is not managed to a particular maturity or duration. The Fund invests in foreign, including emerging market, securities. The Fund uses derivative strategies.  An allocation to emerging market debt, managed by Principal Finisterre, an investment team within Principal Global Investors, was the most significant contributor to performance. The asset class has benefited from strong technicals as well as from favorable trends, including low emerging market inflation, supportive financial conditions, and broadly constructive commodity markets. Principal Finisterre significantly outpaced the broad emerging markets universe with key biases to Egypt, Mexico, and South Africa. Manager selection within preferred securities and investment grade credit were further contributors. Spectrum Asset Management benefited from its higher income profile and PineBridge Investments enjoyed strong security selection within financials and industrials. An allocation to securitized bonds further enhanced results, as did an allocation to private credit. These favorable strategies were offset by weak manager selection from Polen Capital Credit (“Polen”), within our high-yield allocation. Polen underperformed the high yield universe largely due to weakness within the reorganized equity holdings in the portfolio. These equity positions faced varying idiosyncratic headwinds and significantly lagged the strong returns of the broad high yield market.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The investment seeks income. The Fund generally invests a majority of its assets in fixed income securities, such as investment-grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds (also known as "junk" bonds), preferred securities, securitized products, and emerging market debt securities, in an effort to provide incremental yields over a portfolio of government securities. Such securities include instruments with variable or floating interest rates. The fixed income portion of the Fund is not managed to a particular maturity or duration. The Fund invests in foreign, including emerging market, securities. The Fund uses derivative strategies.  An allocation to emerging market debt, managed by Principal Finisterre, an investment team within Principal Global Investors, was the most significant contributor to performance. The asset class has benefited from strong technicals as well as from favorable trends, including low emerging market inflation, supportive financial conditions, and broadly constructive commodity markets. Principal Finisterre significantly outpaced the broad emerging markets universe with key biases to Egypt, Mexico, and South Africa. Manager selection within preferred securities and investment grade credit were further contributors. Spectrum Asset Management benefited from its higher income profile and PineBridge Investments enjoyed strong security selection within financials and industrials. An allocation to securitized bonds further enhanced results, as did an allocation to private credit. These favorable strategies were offset by weak manager selection from Polen Capital Credit (“Polen”), within our high-yield allocation. Polen underperformed the high yield universe largely due to weakness within the reorganized equity holdings in the portfolio. These equity positions faced varying idiosyncratic headwinds and significantly lagged the strong returns of the broad high yield market.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The investment seeks income. The Fund generally invests a majority of its assets in fixed income securities, such as investment-grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds (also known as "junk" bonds), preferred securities, securitized products, and emerging market debt securities, in an effort to provide incremental yields over a portfolio of government securities. Such securities include instruments with variable or floating interest rates. The fixed income portion of the Fund is not managed to a particular maturity or duration. The Fund invests in foreign, including emerging market, securities. The Fund uses derivative strategies.  An allocation to emerging market debt, managed by Principal Finisterre, an investment team within Principal Global Investors, was the most significant contributor to performance. The asset class has benefited from strong technicals as well as from favorable trends, including low emerging market inflation, supportive financial conditions, and broadly constructive commodity markets. Principal Finisterre significantly outpaced the broad emerging markets universe with key biases to Egypt, Mexico, and South Africa. Manager selection within preferred securities and investment grade credit were further contributors. Spectrum Asset Management benefited from its higher income profile and PineBridge Investments enjoyed strong security selection within financials and industrials. An allocation to securitized bonds further enhanced results, as did an allocation to private credit. These favorable strategies were offset by weak manager selection from Polen Capital Credit (“Polen”), within our high-yield allocation. Polen underperformed the high yield universe largely due to weakness within the reorganized equity holdings in the portfolio. These equity positions faced varying idiosyncratic headwinds and significantly lagged the strong returns of the broad high yield market.

 
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. The Fund invests primarily in foreign equity securities. It has no limitation on the percentage of assets that are invested in any one country or denominated in any one currency, but the Fund typically invests in foreign securities of at least 20 countries. The Fund invests in equity securities regardless of market capitalization size (small, medium or large) and style (growth or value). Strong stock selection was achieved in Japan and the financials and industrials sectors. Samsung Electronics, a Korean conglomerate with a focus on memory chips, benefited most notably from the swift upswing in the memory demand cycle. Erste Group Bank, an Austrian bank, raised its financial outlook for 2025 reflecting better loan volume. AIB Group, an Irish bank, outperformed while lending is strong led by corporates. On the other hand, negative attribution was faced in Germany and the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. The detractors were JD.com, a China based technology-driven E-commerce company, which underperformed with increased investment to retain market share from competitors. Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company, traded down as recent drug trials showed mixed results. Yum China Holdings, a Chinese quick service restaurant franchiser, which moved lower on tougher local competition.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests primarily in foreign equity securities. It has no limitation on the percentage of assets that are invested in any one country or denominated in any one currency, but the Fund typically invests in foreign securities of at least 20 countries. The Fund invests in equity securities regardless of market capitalization size (small, medium or large) and style (growth or value). Strong stock selection was achieved in Japan and the financials and industrials sectors. Samsung Electronics, a Korean conglomerate with a focus on memory chips, benefited most notably from the swift upswing in the memory demand cycle. Erste Group Bank, an Austrian bank, raised its financial outlook for 2025 reflecting better loan volume. AIB Group, an Irish bank, outperformed while lending is strong led by corporates. On the other hand, negative attribution was faced in Germany and the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. The detractors were JD.com, a China based technology-driven E-commerce company, which underperformed with increased investment to retain market share from competitors. Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company, traded down as recent drug trials showed mixed results. Yum China Holdings, a Chinese quick service restaurant franchiser, which moved lower on tougher local competition.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests primarily in foreign equity securities. It has no limitation on the percentage of assets that are invested in any one country or denominated in any one currency, but the Fund typically invests in foreign securities of at least 20 countries. The Fund invests in equity securities regardless of market capitalization size (small, medium or large) and style (growth or value). Strong stock selection was achieved in Japan and the financials and industrials sectors. Samsung Electronics, a Korean conglomerate with a focus on memory chips, benefited most notably from the swift upswing in the memory demand cycle. Erste Group Bank, an Austrian bank, raised its financial outlook for 2025 reflecting better loan volume. AIB Group, an Irish bank, outperformed while lending is strong led by corporates. On the other hand, negative attribution was faced in Germany and the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. The detractors were JD.com, a China based technology-driven E-commerce company, which underperformed with increased investment to retain market share from competitors. Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company, traded down as recent drug trials showed mixed results. Yum China Holdings, a Chinese quick service restaurant franchiser, which moved lower on tougher local competition.

 
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 invests primarily in foreign equity securities. It has no limitation on the percentage of assets that are invested in any one country or denominated in any one currency, but the Fund typically invests in foreign securities of at least 20 countries. The Fund invests in equity securities regardless of market capitalization size (small, medium or large) and style (growth or value). Strong stock selection was achieved in Japan and the financials and industrials sectors. Samsung Electronics, a Korean conglomerate with a focus on memory chips, benefited most notably from the swift upswing in the memory demand cycle. Erste Group Bank, an Austrian bank, raised its financial outlook for 2025 reflecting better loan volume. AIB Group, an Irish bank, outperformed while lending is strong led by corporates. On the other hand, negative attribution was faced in Germany and the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. The detractors were JD.com, a China based technology-driven E-commerce company, which underperformed with increased investment to retain market share from competitors. Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company, traded down as recent drug trials showed mixed results. Yum China Holdings, a Chinese quick service restaurant franchiser, which moved lower on tougher local competition.

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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying equity securities. The Fund defines dividend-paying equity securities as securities that produced dividend income within the last rolling 12 months. It usually invests in equity securities of companies with large and medium market capitalizations. The Fund invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. The Fund also invests in securities of foreign issuers.  Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) moved higher as investors were reassured that AI capital expenditures would continue to grow. Additionally, AVGO released a new Tomahawk 6 AI networking switch which has better performance, reliability and lower latency and power consumption needs than previous generations. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) continues to see strong, broad-based AI momentum and as a result, raised guidance multiple times over the past year. Morgan Stanley (MS) aided relative performance as the company topped earnings expectations, driven by share gains in prime brokerage and trading activity. Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (ARE) had a solid third quarter but detracted from performance as management guided expectations lower earlier in the year on reduced occupancy. Investors are also worried about funds from operations weaking in 2026. Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK) moved lower as negative attention regarding Gardasil weighed on the stock and put investor focus back on its dependence on Keytruda which has an upcoming loss of exclusivity in 2028. Not owning Micron Technology, Inc. (MU) detracted from relative 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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying equity securities. The Fund defines dividend-paying equity securities as securities that produced dividend income within the last rolling 12 months. It usually invests in equity securities of companies with large and medium market capitalizations. The Fund invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. The Fund also invests in securities of foreign issuers.  Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) moved higher as investors were reassured that AI capital expenditures would continue to grow. Additionally, AVGO released a new Tomahawk 6 AI networking switch which has better performance, reliability and lower latency and power consumption needs than previous generations. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) continues to see strong, broad-based AI momentum and as a result, raised guidance multiple times over the past year. Morgan Stanley (MS) aided relative performance as the company topped earnings expectations, driven by share gains in prime brokerage and trading activity. Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (ARE) had a solid third quarter but detracted from performance as management guided expectations lower earlier in the year on reduced occupancy. Investors are also worried about funds from operations weaking in 2026. Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK) moved lower as negative attention regarding Gardasil weighed on the stock and put investor focus back on its dependence on Keytruda which has an upcoming loss of exclusivity in 2028. Not owning Micron Technology, Inc. (MU) detracted from relative 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 to provide current income and long-term growth of income and capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying equity securities. The Fund defines dividend-paying equity securities as securities that produced dividend income within the last rolling 12 months. It usually invests in equity securities of companies with large and medium market capitalizations. The Fund invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. The Fund also invests in securities of foreign issuers.  Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) moved higher as investors were reassured that AI capital expenditures would continue to grow. Additionally, AVGO released a new Tomahawk 6 AI networking switch which has better performance, reliability and lower latency and power consumption needs than previous generations. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) continues to see strong, broad-based AI momentum and as a result, raised guidance multiple times over the past year. Morgan Stanley (MS) aided relative performance as the company topped earnings expectations, driven by share gains in prime brokerage and trading activity. Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (ARE) had a solid third quarter but detracted from performance as management guided expectations lower earlier in the year on reduced occupancy. Investors are also worried about funds from operations weaking in 2026. Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK) moved lower as negative attention regarding Gardasil weighed on the stock and put investor focus back on its dependence on Keytruda which has an upcoming loss of exclusivity in 2028. Not owning Micron Technology, Inc. (MU) detracted from relative 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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying equity securities. The Fund defines dividend-paying equity securities as securities that produced dividend income within the last rolling 12 months. It usually invests in equity securities of companies with large and medium market capitalizations. The Fund invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. The Fund also invests in securities of foreign issuers.  Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) moved higher as investors were reassured that AI capital expenditures would continue to grow. Additionally, AVGO released a new Tomahawk 6 AI networking switch which has better performance, reliability and lower latency and power consumption needs than previous generations. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) continues to see strong, broad-based AI momentum and as a result, raised guidance multiple times over the past year. Morgan Stanley (MS) aided relative performance as the company topped earnings expectations, driven by share gains in prime brokerage and trading activity. Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (ARE) had a solid third quarter but detracted from performance as management guided expectations lower earlier in the year on reduced occupancy. Investors are also worried about funds from operations weaking in 2026. Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK) moved lower as negative attention regarding Gardasil weighed on the stock and put investor focus back on its dependence on Keytruda which has an upcoming loss of exclusivity in 2028. Not owning Micron Technology, Inc. (MU) detracted from relative 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 to provide current income and long-term growth of income and capital. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying equity securities. The Fund defines dividend-paying equity securities as securities that produced dividend income within the last rolling 12 months. It usually invests in equity securities of companies with large and medium market capitalizations. The Fund invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. The Fund also invests in securities of foreign issuers.  Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) moved higher as investors were reassured that AI capital expenditures would continue to grow. Additionally, AVGO released a new Tomahawk 6 AI networking switch which has better performance, reliability and lower latency and power consumption needs than previous generations. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) continues to see strong, broad-based AI momentum and as a result, raised guidance multiple times over the past year. Morgan Stanley (MS) aided relative performance as the company topped earnings expectations, driven by share gains in prime brokerage and trading activity. Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (ARE) had a solid third quarter but detracted from performance as management guided expectations lower earlier in the year on reduced occupancy. Investors are also worried about funds from operations weaking in 2026. Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK) moved lower as negative attention regarding Gardasil weighed on the stock and put investor focus back on its dependence on Keytruda which has an upcoming loss of exclusivity in 2028. Not owning Micron Technology, Inc. (MU) detracted from relative performance.

 
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 to generate total returns from current income and capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds that are tied economically to an emerging market, and in derivatives on such investments. The Fund also invests in fixed-income securities, including convertible bonds, credit- and index-linked securities, non-registered and restricted securities, securities issued by distressed or bankrupt issuers, and securities issued by the U.S government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. The Fund uses derivatives to enhance return and to hedge and manage investment risks. For the year ending October 31, 2025, the Fund outperformed the Finisterre Emerging Markets Total Return Bond Blended Index. Main contributors to the absolute Fund performance were positions in Latin America, specifically Mexico and Brazil (local, corporates and sovereign debt), followed by South Africa (local) and Egypt (local T-bills). Mexico and Brazil, both have been very consistent contributors to the Fund over the year across all sub-sectors of emerging market debt. Gains in Mexico have been led by Pemex rallying as the sovereign delivered, at least in part, on their long-promised reforms at the state-owned oil company. Brazil assets have continued to perform strongly, bouncing back from their large sell-offs in fourth quarter 2024. As was the case in most risk asset classes, emerging market debt has largely been in an uninterrupted market rally since the aftermath of the April 2nd “liberation day” drawdown. Global credit spreads have performed strongly and emerging market sovereign spreads are now back to the tights last seen in 2005.

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 Fund uses a blended benchmark, Finisterre Emerging Markets Total Return Bond Blended Index. A component of the equally blended benchmark, JPM CEMBI Broad Diversified Index, 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 for the Finisterre Emerging Markets Total Return Bond Blended Index are: 33.33% JPM GBI-EM Global Diversified Index; 33.33% JPM EMBI Global Diversified Index; and 33.33% JPM CEMBI Broad Diversified Index.

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 in equity securities of emerging market companies. The Fund considers “emerging market” to mean any market that is considered to be an emerging market by the international financial community (including the MSCI Emerging Markets Index ("Index") or Bloomberg Emerging Markets USD Aggregate Bond Index). It invests in equity securities regardless of market capitalization (small, medium or large) and style (growth or value). The Fund’s investments outperformed the Index during the 12 months ending October 31, 2025. The Asia ex-China region was the main driver of outperformance. Taiwan and South Korea were the top contributing markets with outperformance in both markets attributable to positive stock selection in the information technology sector. The other notable market that drove outperformance in the period was Greece. Positive performance came from the Fund’s overweight position in this market. Latin America was the worst performing region over the last twelve months, mostly driven by Argentina. The Fund’s investment in an IT services provider accounted for losses in the market. Brazil was the other notable detractor in Latin America with losses in the industrials and materials sectors. The other notable market that detracted was Indonesia, where financials was the main detractor.

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 in equity securities of emerging market companies. The Fund considers “emerging market” to mean any market that is considered to be an emerging market by the international financial community (including the MSCI Emerging Markets Index ("Index") or Bloomberg Emerging Markets USD Aggregate Bond Index). It invests in equity securities regardless of market capitalization (small, medium or large) and style (growth or value). The Fund’s investments outperformed the Index during the 12 months ending October 31, 2025. The Asia ex-China region was the main driver of outperformance. Taiwan and South Korea were the top contributing markets with outperformance in both markets attributable to positive stock selection in the information technology sector. The other notable market that drove outperformance in the period was Greece. Positive performance came from the Fund’s overweight position in this market. Latin America was the worst performing region over the last twelve months, mostly driven by Argentina. The Fund’s investment in an IT services provider accounted for losses in the market. Brazil was the other notable detractor in Latin America with losses in the industrials and materials sectors. The other notable market that detracted was Indonesia, where financials was the main detractor.

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

The other notable market that drove outperformance in the period was Greece. Positive performance came from the Fund’s overweight position in this market. Latin America was the worst performing region over the last twelve months, mostly driven by Argentina. The Fund’s investment in an IT services provider accounted for losses in the market. Brazil was the other notable detractor in Latin America with losses in the industrials and materials sectors. The other notable market that detracted was Indonesia, where financials was the main detractor.

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 in equity securities of emerging market companies. The Fund considers “emerging market” to mean any market that is considered to be an emerging market by the international financial community (including the MSCI Emerging Markets Index ("Index") or Bloomberg Emerging Markets USD Aggregate Bond Index). It invests in equity securities regardless of market capitalization (small, medium or large) and style (growth or value). The Fund’s investments outperformed the Index during the 12 months ending October 31, 2025. The Asia ex-China region was the main driver of outperformance. Taiwan and South Korea were the top contributing markets with outperformance in both markets attributable to positive stock selection in the information technology sector. The other notable market that drove outperformance in the period was Greece. Positive performance came from the Fund’s overweight position in this market. Latin America was the worst performing region over the last twelve months, mostly driven by Argentina. The Fund’s investment in an IT services provider accounted for losses in the market. Brazil was the other notable detractor in Latin America with losses in the industrials and materials sectors. The other notable market that detracted was Indonesia, where financials was the main detractor.

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 in equity securities of emerging market companies. The Fund considers “emerging market” to mean any market that is considered to be an emerging market by the international financial community (including the MSCI Emerging Markets Index ("Index") or Bloomberg Emerging Markets USD Aggregate Bond Index). It invests in equity securities regardless of market capitalization (small, medium or large) and style (growth or value). The Fund’s investments outperformed the Index during the 12 months ending October 31, 2025. The Asia ex-China region was the main driver of outperformance. Taiwan and South Korea were the top contributing markets with outperformance in both markets attributable to positive stock selection in the information technology sector. The other notable market that drove outperformance in the period was Greece. Positive performance came from the Fund’s overweight position in this market. Latin America was the worst performing region over the last twelve months, mostly driven by Argentina. The Fund’s investment in an IT services provider accounted for losses in the market. Brazil was the other notable detractor in Latin America with losses in the industrials and materials sectors. The other notable market that detracted was Indonesia, where financials was the main detractor.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to generate a total return. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies principally engaged in the real estate industry. For the Fund's investment policies, a real estate company has at least 50% of its assets, income or profits derived from products or services related to the real estate industry. The Fund’s investments underperformed the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index over the year. Exposure to UK industrial and student housing detracted, as the sectors were weak on demand concerns. Selection within Japanese real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted, due to an underweight to stocks that outperformed as office recovery momentum improved. An underweight to strength in Switzerland detracted in Europe. In the U.S., selection within industrial was the main detractor due to the exposure to cold storage REITs which reported weak results on demand concerns. An overweight to U.S. single family rental detracted, with the sector lagging on concerns over pricing power and demand. An overweight to U.S. senior housing REITs remained a key contributor with these REITs demonstrating continued strong earnings growth and guidance upgrades on firming occupancy, improving pricing power and accretive acquisitions. An overweight to French retail contributed, with the sector benefiting from strong operating performance post many years of consolidation in the sector.

 
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 to generate a total return. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies principally engaged in the real estate industry. For the Fund's investment policies, a real estate company has at least 50% of its assets, income or profits derived from products or services related to the real estate industry. The Fund’s investments underperformed the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index over the year. Exposure to UK industrial and student housing detracted, as the sectors were weak on demand concerns. Selection within Japanese real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted, due to an underweight to stocks that outperformed as office recovery momentum improved. An underweight to strength in Switzerland detracted in Europe. In the U.S., selection within industrial was the main detractor due to the exposure to cold storage REITs which reported weak results on demand concerns. An overweight to U.S. single family rental detracted, with the sector lagging on concerns over pricing power and demand. An overweight to U.S. senior housing REITs remained a key contributor with these REITs demonstrating continued strong earnings growth and guidance upgrades on firming occupancy, improving pricing power and accretive acquisitions. An overweight to French retail contributed, with the sector benefiting from strong operating performance post many years of consolidation in the sector.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to generate a total return. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies principally engaged in the real estate industry. For the Fund's investment policies, a real estate company has at least 50% of its assets, income or profits derived from products or services related to the real estate industry. The Fund’s investments underperformed the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index over the year. Exposure to UK industrial and student housing detracted, as the sectors were weak on demand concerns. Selection within Japanese real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted, due to an underweight to stocks that outperformed as office recovery momentum improved. An underweight to strength in Switzerland detracted in Europe. In the U.S., selection within industrial was the main detractor due to the exposure to cold storage REITs which reported weak results on demand concerns. An overweight to U.S. single family rental detracted, with the sector lagging on concerns over pricing power and demand. An overweight to U.S. senior housing REITs remained a key contributor with these REITs demonstrating continued strong earnings growth and guidance upgrades on firming occupancy, improving pricing power and accretive acquisitions. An overweight to French retail contributed, with the sector benefiting from strong operating performance post many years of consolidation in the sector.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to generate a total return. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies principally engaged in the real estate industry. For the Fund's investment policies, a real estate company has at least 50% of its assets, income or profits derived from products or services related to the real estate industry. The Fund’s investments underperformed the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index over the year. Exposure to UK industrial and student housing detracted, as the sectors were weak on demand concerns. Selection within Japanese real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted, due to an underweight to stocks that outperformed as office recovery momentum improved. An underweight to strength in Switzerland detracted in Europe. In the U.S., selection within industrial was the main detractor due to the exposure to cold storage REITs which reported weak results on demand concerns. An overweight to U.S. single family rental detracted, with the sector lagging on concerns over pricing power and demand. An overweight to U.S. senior housing REITs remained a key contributor with these REITs demonstrating continued strong earnings growth and guidance upgrades on firming occupancy, improving pricing power and accretive acquisitions. An overweight to French retail contributed, with the sector benefiting from strong operating performance post many years of consolidation in the sector.

 
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 high level of current income consistent with safety and liquidity. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities or bonds that are rated, at the time of purchase, AAA by S&P Global Ratings or Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Fundamentals remained favorable for the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market for the majority of 2025 primarily driven by decreasing rate volatility and limited refinancing activity. The technical environment remained balanced in 2025 with money managers generally holding overweight MBS allocations combined with MBS additions by mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts. Lower levels of net supply throughout the year offset weaker demand from banks and foreign buyers. On a year-over-year basis Bloomberg US MBS Index spreads moved from 49 basis points (bps) to 28bps. Current coupon spreads to the average of U.S. Treasurys with 5 and 10 year maturities performed similarly moving from 154bps to 124bps year over year. The Fund’s curve positioning, driven by overweight to higher coupon MBS and an out-of-index allocation to the agency collateralized mortgage-backed securities sector was the primary contributor to performance for the year as the yield curve steepened (spread between shorter and longer dated treasuries increased). The Fund held underweight positions in conventional lower coupons (2% to 3%) which detracted from performance for the 12 months ending October 31, 2025.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with safety and liquidity. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities or bonds that are rated, at the time of purchase, AAA by S&P Global Ratings or Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Fundamentals remained favorable for the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market for the majority of 2025 primarily driven by decreasing rate volatility and limited refinancing activity. The technical environment remained balanced in 2025 with money managers generally holding overweight MBS allocations combined with MBS additions by mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts. Lower levels of net supply throughout the year offset weaker demand from banks and foreign buyers. On a year-over-year basis Bloomberg US MBS Index spreads moved from 49 basis points (bps) to 28bps. Current coupon spreads to the average of U.S. Treasurys with 5 and 10 year maturities performed similarly moving from 154bps to 124bps year over year. The Fund’s curve positioning, driven by overweight to higher coupon MBS and an out-of-index allocation to the agency collateralized mortgage-backed securities sector was the primary contributor to performance for the year as the yield curve steepened (spread between shorter and longer dated treasuries increased). The Fund held underweight positions in conventional lower coupons (2% to 3%) which detracted from performance for the 12 months ending October 31, 2025.

 
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 high level of current income consistent with safety and liquidity. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities or bonds that are rated, at the time of purchase, AAA by S&P Global Ratings or Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Fundamentals remained favorable for the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market for the majority of 2025 primarily driven by decreasing rate volatility and limited refinancing activity. The technical environment remained balanced in 2025 with money managers generally holding overweight MBS allocations combined with MBS additions by mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts. Lower levels of net supply throughout the year offset weaker demand from banks and foreign buyers. On a year-over-year basis Bloomberg US MBS Index spreads moved from 49 basis points (bps) to 28bps. Current coupon spreads to the average of U.S. Treasurys with 5 and 10 year maturities performed similarly moving from 154bps to 124bps year over year. The Fund’s curve positioning, driven by overweight to higher coupon MBS and an out-of-index allocation to the agency collateralized mortgage-backed securities sector was the primary contributor to performance for the year as the yield curve steepened (spread between shorter and longer dated treasuries increased). The Fund held underweight positions in conventional lower coupons (2% to 3%) which detracted from performance for the 12 months ending October 31, 2025.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in below investment grade bonds and bank loans (sometimes called “high yield” or “junk”), which are rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and BB+ or lower by S&P Global Ratings. It also invests in investment grade bank loans (also known as senior floating rate interests) and securities of foreign issuers. During the year ending October 31, 2025, the Fund’s investments underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index. The underperformance was primarily driven by negative security selection, particularly overweight positions in issuers within the chemicals and packaging sectors such as Vibrantz Technologies Inc, LABL Inc, and Tronox Inc. Fund performance was further pressured by sector allocation, as an underweight allocation to the communications sector and an overweight allocation to the basic industry sector detracted from returns. These effects were partially offset by positive contributions from zero exposure to underperforming issuers such as New Fortress Energy Inc, Saks Global Enterprises LLC, and Sunnova Energy Corp, as well as an overweight allocation to the consumer non-cyclical sector and an underweight allocation to the capital goods sector. From a quality perspective, negative security selection among CCC-rated and B-rated issuers detracted from performance, though positive security selection within BB-rated issuers provided a modest offset. Cash had a negative impact on performance during the year.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in below investment grade bonds and bank loans (sometimes called “high yield” or “junk”), which are rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and BB+ or lower by S&P Global Ratings. It also invests in investment grade bank loans (also known as senior floating rate interests) and securities of foreign issuers. During the year ending October 31, 2025, the Fund’s investments underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index. The underperformance was primarily driven by negative security selection, particularly overweight positions in issuers within the chemicals and packaging sectors such as Vibrantz Technologies Inc, LABL Inc, and Tronox Inc. Fund performance was further pressured by sector allocation, as an underweight allocation to the communications sector and an overweight allocation to the basic industry sector detracted from returns. These effects were partially offset by positive contributions from zero exposure to underperforming issuers such as New Fortress Energy Inc, Saks Global Enterprises LLC, and Sunnova Energy Corp, as well as an overweight allocation to the consumer non-cyclical sector and an underweight allocation to the capital goods sector. From a quality perspective, negative security selection among CCC-rated and B-rated issuers detracted from performance, though positive security selection within BB-rated issuers provided a modest offset. Cash had a negative impact on performance 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 provide a high level of current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in below investment grade bonds and bank loans (sometimes called “high yield” or “junk”), which are rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and BB+ or lower by S&P Global Ratings. It also invests in investment grade bank loans (also known as senior floating rate interests) and securities of foreign issuers. During the year ending October 31, 2025, the Fund’s investments underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index. The underperformance was primarily driven by negative security selection, particularly overweight positions in issuers within the chemicals and packaging sectors such as Vibrantz Technologies Inc, LABL Inc, and Tronox Inc. Fund performance was further pressured by sector allocation, as an underweight allocation to the communications sector and an overweight allocation to the basic industry sector detracted from returns. These effects were partially offset by positive contributions from zero exposure to underperforming issuers such as New Fortress Energy Inc, Saks Global Enterprises LLC, and Sunnova Energy Corp, as well as an overweight allocation to the consumer non-cyclical sector and an underweight allocation to the capital goods sector. From a quality perspective, negative security selection among CCC-rated and B-rated issuers detracted from performance, though positive security selection within BB-rated issuers provided a modest offset. Cash had a negative impact on performance 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 provide a high level of current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in below investment grade bonds and bank loans (sometimes called “high yield” or “junk”), which are rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and BB+ or lower by S&P Global Ratings. It also invests in investment grade bank loans (also known as senior floating rate interests) and securities of foreign issuers. During the year ending October 31, 2025, the Fund’s investments underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index. The underperformance was primarily driven by negative security selection, particularly overweight positions in issuers within the chemicals and packaging sectors such as Vibrantz Technologies Inc, LABL Inc, and Tronox Inc. Fund performance was further pressured by sector allocation, as an underweight allocation to the communications sector and an overweight allocation to the basic industry sector detracted from returns. These effects were partially offset by positive contributions from zero exposure to underperforming issuers such as New Fortress Energy Inc, Saks Global Enterprises LLC, and Sunnova Energy Corp, as well as an overweight allocation to the consumer non-cyclical sector and an underweight allocation to the capital goods sector. From a quality perspective, negative security selection among CCC-rated and B-rated issuers detracted from performance, though positive security selection within BB-rated issuers provided a modest offset. Cash had a negative impact on performance during the year.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income and real (after inflation) total returns. The Fund invests primarily in inflation-indexed bonds of varying maturities issued by the U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and U.S. and non-U.S. corporations. The Fund also invests in foreign securities, U.S. Treasuries, and agency securities. The Fund utilizes derivative strategies (specifically, futures, swaps, and options) for purposes of managing the risk profile of the Fund. The Fund’s investments outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index for the trailing 12 months. Risk assets generally performed well over the trailing 12 months as the U.S. economy was more resilient than expected. Given this dynamic, the Fund’s structural long position in credit strategies and rental-linked securities, primarily focused on single-family, rentals continued to contribute to performance, as the broad positive risk sentiment led to ongoing compression in spread levels. The Fund’s tactical long position in agency mortgage-backed securities also meaningfully added to performance, as spreads grinded tighter in response to trade de-escalation and interest rate cuts. The Fund’s tactical duration positioning in U.S. rates detracted from performance. The Fund’s yield curve positioning and overall headline duration position were challenged by volatility and curve movement over the past year. Over the trailing 12 months, the Fund’s allocation in Emerging Market (“EM”) is one of the strongest contributors to performance, given attractive level of yields supported by declining U.S. treasury yields, a stronger EM currency, and spread compression.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

The Fund seeks to provide current income and real (after inflation) total returns. The Fund invests primarily in inflation-indexed bonds of varying maturities issued by the U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and U.S. and non-U.S. corporations. The Fund also invests in foreign securities, U.S. Treasuries, and agency securities. The Fund utilizes derivative strategies (specifically, futures, swaps, and options) for purposes of managing the risk profile of the Fund. The Fund’s investments outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index for the trailing 12 months. Risk assets generally performed well over the trailing 12 months as the U.S. economy was more resilient than expected. Given this dynamic, the Fund’s structural long position in credit strategies and rental-linked securities, primarily focused on single-family, rentals continued to contribute to performance, as the broad positive risk sentiment led to ongoing compression in spread levels. The Fund’s tactical long position in agency mortgage-backed securities also meaningfully added to performance, as spreads grinded tighter in response to trade de-escalation and interest rate cuts. The Fund’s tactical duration positioning in U.S. rates detracted from performance. The Fund’s yield curve positioning and overall headline duration position were challenged by volatility and curve movement over the past year. Over the trailing 12 months, the Fund’s allocation in Emerging Market (“EM”) is one of the strongest contributors to performance, given attractive level of yields supported by declining U.S. treasury yields, a stronger EM currency, and spread compression.

 
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 real (after inflation) total returns. The Fund invests primarily in inflation-indexed bonds of varying maturities issued by the U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and U.S. and non-U.S. corporations. The Fund also invests in foreign securities, U.S. Treasuries, and agency securities. The Fund utilizes derivative strategies (specifically, futures, swaps, and options) for purposes of managing the risk profile of the Fund. The Fund’s investments outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index for the trailing 12 months. Risk assets generally performed well over the trailing 12 months as the U.S. economy was more resilient than expected. Given this dynamic, the Fund’s structural long position in credit strategies and rental-linked securities, primarily focused on single-family, rentals continued to contribute to performance, as the broad positive risk sentiment led to ongoing compression in spread levels. The Fund’s tactical long position in agency mortgage-backed securities also meaningfully added to performance, as spreads grinded tighter in response to trade de-escalation and interest rate cuts. The Fund’s tactical duration positioning in U.S. rates detracted from performance. The Fund’s yield curve positioning and overall headline duration position were challenged by volatility and curve movement over the past year. Over the trailing 12 months, the Fund’s allocation in Emerging Market (“EM”) is one of the strongest contributors to performance, given attractive level of yields supported by declining U.S. treasury yields, a stronger EM currency, and spread compression.

 
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 real (after inflation) total returns. The Fund invests primarily in inflation-indexed bonds of varying maturities issued by the U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and U.S. and non-U.S. corporations. The Fund also invests in foreign securities, U.S. Treasuries, and agency securities. The Fund utilizes derivative strategies (specifically, futures, swaps, and options) for purposes of managing the risk profile of the Fund. The Fund’s investments outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index for the trailing 12 months. Risk assets generally performed well over the trailing 12 months as the U.S. economy was more resilient than expected. Given this dynamic, the Fund’s structural long position in credit strategies and rental-linked securities, primarily focused on single-family, rentals continued to contribute to performance, as the broad positive risk sentiment led to ongoing compression in spread levels. The Fund’s tactical long position in agency mortgage-backed securities also meaningfully added to performance, as spreads grinded tighter in response to trade de-escalation and interest rate cuts. The Fund’s tactical duration positioning in U.S. rates detracted from performance. The Fund’s yield curve positioning and overall headline duration position were challenged by volatility and curve movement over the past year. Over the trailing 12 months, the Fund’s allocation in Emerging Market (“EM”) is one of the strongest contributors to performance, given attractive level of yields supported by declining U.S. treasury yields, a stronger EM currency, and spread compression.

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 in equity securities. The Fund defines equity securities to include common stock, preferred stock, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds that invest primarily in equity securities. The Fund invests primarily in foreign equity securities, including emerging market securities, such as China. The Fund typically invests in foreign securities of at least ten countries. Strong stock selection was achieved in Japan and the financials and industrials sectors. The top contributors for the Fund were Erste Group Bank, an Austrian bank, raised its financial outlook for 2025 reflecting better loan volume. Samsung Electronics, Korean conglomerate with a focus on memory chips, benefited most notably from the swift upswing in the memory demand cycle. AIB Group, an Irish bank, outperformed while the corporate lending business was strong. On the other hand, negative attribution was faced in Germany and the consumer discretionary and materials sectors. The detractors were JD.com, a China based technology-driven E-commerce company, which underperformed with increased investment to retain market share from competitors. Yum China Holdings, a Chinese quick service restaurant franchiser, which moved lower on tougher local competition. Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company, which traded down as recent drug trials showed mixed results.

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 in equity securities. The Fund defines equity securities to include common stock, preferred stock, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds that invest primarily in equity securities. The Fund invests primarily in foreign equity securities, including emerging market securities, such as China. The Fund typically invests in foreign securities of at least ten countries. Strong stock selection was achieved in Japan and the financials and industrials sectors. The top contributors for the Fund were Erste Group Bank, an Austrian bank, raised its financial outlook for 2025 reflecting better loan volume. Samsung Electronics, Korean conglomerate with a focus on memory chips, benefited most notably from the swift upswing in the memory demand cycle. AIB Group, an Irish bank, outperformed while the corporate lending business was strong. On the other hand, negative attribution was faced in Germany and the consumer discretionary and materials sectors. The detractors were JD.com, a China based technology-driven E-commerce company, which underperformed with increased investment to retain market share from competitors. Yum China Holdings, a Chinese quick service restaurant franchiser, which moved lower on tougher local competition. Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company, which traded down as recent drug trials showed mixed results.

 
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 in equity securities. The Fund defines equity securities to include common stock, preferred stock, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds that invest primarily in equity securities. The Fund invests primarily in foreign equity securities, including emerging market securities, such as China. The Fund typically invests in foreign securities of at least ten countries. Strong stock selection was achieved in Japan and the financials and industrials sectors. The top contributors for the Fund were Erste Group Bank, an Austrian bank, raised its financial outlook for 2025 reflecting better loan volume. Samsung Electronics, Korean conglomerate with a focus on memory chips, benefited most notably from the swift upswing in the memory demand cycle. AIB Group, an Irish bank, outperformed while the corporate lending business was strong. On the other hand, negative attribution was faced in Germany and the consumer discretionary and materials sectors. The detractors were JD.com, a China based technology-driven E-commerce company, which underperformed with increased investment to retain market share from competitors. Yum China Holdings, a Chinese quick service restaurant franchiser, which moved lower on tougher local competition. Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company, which traded down as recent drug trials showed mixed results.

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 in growth equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations. For this Fund, large market capitalization growth securities are securities (i) with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell 1000® Index, and (ii) that are included within at least one of the following growth indices: the MSCI All Country World IMI Growth Index, the S&P 1500 Growth Index, or the Russell 3000 Growth Index. The Fund also invests in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. For the year, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc (“T. Rowe”) benefited from an underweight to the consumer staples and real estate sectors, as well as strong stock selection in the financials sector. Brown Advisory, LLC’s (“Brown”) performance was helped by strong stock selection in the real estate and consumer staples sectors, as well as an underweight to the materials sector. T. Rowe and Brown underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (“Index”) for the year. T. Rowe underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors, as well as an overweight to the healthcare and financials sectors. Brown underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the information technology and communication services sector, as well as an underweight to the information technology sector.

 
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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in growth equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations. For this Fund, large market capitalization growth securities are securities (i) with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell 1000® Index, and (ii) that are included within at least one of the following growth indices: the MSCI All Country World IMI Growth Index, the S&P 1500 Growth Index, or the Russell 3000 Growth Index. The Fund also invests in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. For the year, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc (“T. Rowe”) benefited from an underweight to the consumer staples and real estate sectors, as well as strong stock selection in the financials sector. Brown Advisory, LLC’s (“Brown”) performance was helped by strong stock selection in the real estate and consumer staples sectors, as well as an underweight to the materials sector. T. Rowe and Brown underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (“Index”) for the year. T. Rowe underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors, as well as an overweight to the healthcare and financials sectors. Brown underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the information technology and communication services sector, as well as an underweight to the information technology sector.

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 in growth equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations. For this Fund, large market capitalization growth securities are securities (i) with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell 1000® Index, and (ii) that are included within at least one of the following growth indices: the MSCI All Country World IMI Growth Index, the S&P 1500 Growth Index, or the Russell 3000 Growth Index. The Fund also invests in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. For the year, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc (“T. Rowe”) benefited from an underweight to the consumer staples and real estate sectors, as well as strong stock selection in the financials sector. Brown Advisory, LLC’s (“Brown”) performance was helped by strong stock selection in the real estate and consumer staples sectors, as well as an underweight to the materials sector. T. Rowe and Brown underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (“Index”) for the year. T. Rowe underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors, as well as an overweight to the healthcare and financials sectors. Brown underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the information technology and communication services sector, as well as an underweight to the information technology sector.

 
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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in growth equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations. For this Fund, large market capitalization growth securities are securities (i) with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell 1000® Index, and (ii) that are included within at least one of the following growth indices: the MSCI All Country World IMI Growth Index, the S&P 1500 Growth Index, or the Russell 3000 Growth Index. The Fund also invests in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. For the year, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc (“T. Rowe”) benefited from an underweight to the consumer staples and real estate sectors, as well as strong stock selection in the financials sector. Brown Advisory, LLC’s (“Brown”) performance was helped by strong stock selection in the real estate and consumer staples sectors, as well as an underweight to the materials sector. T. Rowe and Brown underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (“Index”) for the year. T. Rowe underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors, as well as an overweight to the healthcare and financials sectors. Brown underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the information technology and communication services sector, as well as an underweight to the information technology sector.

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 in equity securities of companies that compose the S&P 500 Index (the "Index"). The Index is designed to represent U.S. equities with risk/return characteristics of the large cap universe. The Fund uses derivative strategies and invests in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Specifically, the Fund invests in index futures and equity ETFs on a daily basis to gain exposure to the Index in an effort to minimize tracking error relative to the benchmark. During the 12 months ending October 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. Eight of the eleven economic sectors in the Index posted positive returns as information technology and communication services posted the best returns for the year. The materials and real estate sectors recorded the worst returns. Palantir Technologies, Broadcom, and Tesla contributed to Fund performance. Fiserv, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and UnitedHealth Group detracted from Fund performance for 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 in equity securities of companies that compose the S&P 500 Index (the "Index"). The Index is designed to represent U.S. equities with risk/return characteristics of the large cap universe. The Fund uses derivative strategies and invests in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Specifically, the Fund invests in index futures and equity ETFs on a daily basis to gain exposure to the Index in an effort to minimize tracking error relative to the benchmark. During the 12 months ending October 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. Eight of the eleven economic sectors in the Index posted positive returns as information technology and communication services posted the best returns for the year. The materials and real estate sectors recorded the worst returns. Palantir Technologies, Broadcom, and Tesla contributed to Fund performance. Fiserv, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and UnitedHealth Group 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 in equity securities of companies that compose the S&P 500 Index (the "Index"). The Index is designed to represent U.S. equities with risk/return characteristics of the large cap universe. The Fund uses derivative strategies and invests in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Specifically, the Fund invests in index futures and equity ETFs on a daily basis to gain exposure to the Index in an effort to minimize tracking error relative to the benchmark. During the 12 months ending October 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. Eight of the eleven economic sectors in the Index posted positive returns as information technology and communication services posted the best returns for the year. The materials and real estate sectors recorded the worst returns. Palantir Technologies, Broadcom, and Tesla contributed to Fund performance. Fiserv, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and UnitedHealth Group detracted from Fund performance for 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 in equity securities of companies that compose the S&P 500 Index (the "Index"). The Index is designed to represent U.S. equities with risk/return characteristics of the large cap universe. The Fund uses derivative strategies and invests in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Specifically, the Fund invests in index futures and equity ETFs on a daily basis to gain exposure to the Index in an effort to minimize tracking error relative to the benchmark. During the 12 months ending October 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. Eight of the eleven economic sectors in the Index posted positive returns as information technology and communication services posted the best returns for the year. The materials and real estate sectors recorded the worst returns. Palantir Technologies, Broadcom, and Tesla contributed to Fund performance. Fiserv, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and UnitedHealth Group detracted from Fund performance for 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 in value companies with large market capitalizations. For this Fund, value companies with large market capitalizations are those (i) with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell 1000® Index, and (ii) included within at least one of the following value indices: the MSCI All Country World IMI Value Index, the S&P 1500 Value Index, or the Russell 3000 Value Index. The Fund also invests in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations and in other investment companies (for example, an exchange-traded fund (ETF)). Over the year, Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (“Barrow Hanley”) benefited from strong stock selection in the industrials, consumer discretionary, and utilities sectors. Barrow Hanley’s performance was also helped by an underweight to the healthcare sector. Westwood Management Corp (“Westwood”) benefited from strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector, as well as an underweight to the healthcare and materials sectors. Barrow Hanley and Westwood underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (“Index”) during the year. Barrow Hanley underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the healthcare and financials sectors, as well as an underweight to the financials sector. Westwood underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the information technology and industrials sectors.

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 in value companies with large market capitalizations. For this Fund, value companies with large market capitalizations are those (i) with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell 1000® Index, and (ii) included within at least one of the following value indices: the MSCI All Country World IMI Value Index, the S&P 1500 Value Index, or the Russell 3000 Value Index. The Fund also invests in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations and in other investment companies (for example, an exchange-traded fund (ETF)). Over the year, Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (“Barrow Hanley”) benefited from strong stock selection in the industrials, consumer discretionary, and utilities sectors. Barrow Hanley’s performance was also helped by an underweight to the healthcare sector. Westwood Management Corp (“Westwood”) benefited from strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector, as well as an underweight to the healthcare and materials sectors. Barrow Hanley and Westwood underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (“Index”) during the year. Barrow Hanley underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the healthcare and financials sectors, as well as an underweight to the financials sector. Westwood underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the information technology and industrials sectors.

 
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 in value companies with large market capitalizations. For this Fund, value companies with large market capitalizations are those (i) with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell 1000® Index, and (ii) included within at least one of the following value indices: the MSCI All Country World IMI Value Index, the S&P 1500 Value Index, or the Russell 3000 Value Index. The Fund also invests in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations and in other investment companies (for example, an exchange-traded fund (ETF)). Over the year, Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (“Barrow Hanley”) benefited from strong stock selection in the industrials, consumer discretionary, and utilities sectors. Barrow Hanley’s performance was also helped by an underweight to the healthcare sector. Westwood Management Corp (“Westwood”) benefited from strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector, as well as an underweight to the healthcare and materials sectors. Barrow Hanley and Westwood underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (“Index”) during the year. Barrow Hanley underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the healthcare and financials sectors, as well as an underweight to the financials sector. Westwood underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the information technology and industrials sectors.

 
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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in value companies with large market capitalizations. For this Fund, value companies with large market capitalizations are those (i) with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell 1000® Index, and (ii) included within at least one of the following value indices: the MSCI All Country World IMI Value Index, the S&P 1500 Value Index, or the Russell 3000 Value Index. The Fund also invests in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations and in other investment companies (for example, an exchange-traded fund (ETF)). Over the year, Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (“Barrow Hanley”) benefited from strong stock selection in the industrials, consumer discretionary, and utilities sectors. Barrow Hanley’s performance was also helped by an underweight to the healthcare sector. Westwood Management Corp (“Westwood”) benefited from strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector, as well as an underweight to the healthcare and materials sectors. Barrow Hanley and Westwood underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (“Index”) during the year. Barrow Hanley underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the healthcare and financials sectors, as well as an underweight to the financials sector. Westwood underperformed the Index due to poor stock selection in the information technology and industrials sectors.

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 in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. For this Fund, companies with medium market capitalizations are those with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell MidCap® Index ("Index"). The Fund also invests in foreign securities. Over the year, the Fund benefited from company selection in health care and materials. Alternative asset manager Brookfield was the top contributor. Brookfield raised and deployed significant capital over the past year. Aerospace components business HEICO was the next biggest contributor, helped by its scale and efficiency. The next largest contributor was O’Reilly Automotive; a company owned in the portfolio for nearly twenty years. Past investment in its distribution capabilities led to strong returns. Selection in information technology and financial companies detracted from performance relative to the Index. Insurance broker Brown & Brown had a negative return, as property insurance rates cycled lower. Vehicle salvage and auction business Copart detracted, with volumes negatively impacted by the rise in uninsured drivers. Both businesses have experienced management teams to manage through a cycle. Alternative asset manager KKR detracted from performance, impacted by the market volatility early in the calendar year. Fundamentals of the business remain solid, with multiple fund-raising opportunities.

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 in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. For this Fund, companies with medium market capitalizations are those with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell MidCap® Index ("Index"). The Fund also invests in foreign securities. Over the year, the Fund benefited from company selection in health care and materials. Alternative asset manager Brookfield was the top contributor. Brookfield raised and deployed significant capital over the past year. Aerospace components business HEICO was the next biggest contributor, helped by its scale and efficiency. The next largest contributor was O’Reilly Automotive; a company owned in the portfolio for nearly twenty years. Past investment in its distribution capabilities led to strong returns. Selection in information technology and financial companies detracted from performance relative to the Index. Insurance broker Brown & Brown had a negative return, as property insurance rates cycled lower. Vehicle salvage and auction business Copart detracted, with volumes negatively impacted by the rise in uninsured drivers. Both businesses have experienced management teams to manage through a cycle. Alternative asset manager KKR detracted from performance, impacted by the market volatility early in the calendar year. Fundamentals of the business remain solid, with multiple fund-raising opportunities.

 
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 in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. For this Fund, companies with medium market capitalizations are those with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell MidCap® Index ("Index"). The Fund also invests in foreign securities. Over the year, the Fund benefited from company selection in health care and materials. Alternative asset manager Brookfield was the top contributor. Brookfield raised and deployed significant capital over the past year. Aerospace components business HEICO was the next biggest contributor, helped by its scale and efficiency. The next largest contributor was O’Reilly Automotive; a company owned in the portfolio for nearly twenty years. Past investment in its distribution capabilities led to strong returns. Selection in information technology and financial companies detracted from performance relative to the Index. Insurance broker Brown & Brown had a negative return, as property insurance rates cycled lower. Vehicle salvage and auction business Copart detracted, with volumes negatively impacted by the rise in uninsured drivers. Both businesses have experienced management teams to manage through a cycle. Alternative asset manager KKR detracted from performance, impacted by the market volatility early in the calendar year. Fundamentals of the business remain solid, with multiple fund-raising opportunities.

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

The Fund also invests in foreign securities. Over the year, the Fund benefited from company selection in health care and materials. Alternative asset manager Brookfield was the top contributor. Brookfield raised and deployed significant capital over the past year. Aerospace components business HEICO was the next biggest contributor, helped by its scale and efficiency. The next largest contributor was O’Reilly Automotive; a company owned in the portfolio for nearly twenty years. Past investment in its distribution capabilities led to strong returns. Selection in information technology and financial companies detracted from performance relative to the Index. Insurance broker Brown & Brown had a negative return, as property insurance rates cycled lower. Vehicle salvage and auction business Copart detracted, with volumes negatively impacted by the rise in uninsured drivers. Both businesses have experienced management teams to manage through a cycle. Alternative asset manager KKR detracted from performance, impacted by the market volatility early in the calendar year. Fundamentals of the business remain solid, with multiple fund-raising opportunities.

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 in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. For this Fund, companies with medium market capitalizations are those with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell MidCap® Index ("Index"). The Fund also invests in foreign securities. Over the year, the Fund benefited from company selection in health care and materials. Alternative asset manager Brookfield was the top contributor. Brookfield raised and deployed significant capital over the past year. Aerospace components business HEICO was the next biggest contributor, helped by its scale and efficiency. The next largest contributor was O’Reilly Automotive; a company owned in the portfolio for nearly twenty years. Past investment in its distribution capabilities led to strong returns. Selection in information technology and financial companies detracted from performance relative to the Index. Insurance broker Brown & Brown had a negative return, as property insurance rates cycled lower. Vehicle salvage and auction business Copart detracted, with volumes negatively impacted by the rise in uninsured drivers. Both businesses have experienced management teams to manage through a cycle. Alternative asset manager KKR detracted from performance, impacted by the market volatility early in the calendar year. Fundamentals of the business remain solid, with multiple fund-raising opportunities.

 
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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. For this Fund, companies with medium market capitalizations are those with market capitalizations within the range of companies comprising the Russell MidCap® Index ("Index"). The Fund also invests in foreign securities. Over the year, the Fund benefited from company selection in health care and materials. Alternative asset manager Brookfield was the top contributor. Brookfield raised and deployed significant capital over the past year. Aerospace components business HEICO was the next biggest contributor, helped by its scale and efficiency. The next largest contributor was O’Reilly Automotive; a company owned in the portfolio for nearly twenty years. Past investment in its distribution capabilities led to strong returns. Selection in information technology and financial companies detracted from performance relative to the Index. Insurance broker Brown & Brown had a negative return, as property insurance rates cycled lower. Vehicle salvage and auction business Copart detracted, with volumes negatively impacted by the rise in uninsured drivers. Both businesses have experienced management teams to manage through a cycle. Alternative asset manager KKR detracted from performance, impacted by the market volatility early in the calendar year. Fundamentals of the business remain solid, with multiple fund-raising opportunities.

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 in equity securities of companies that compose the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") MidCap 400 Index ("Index") at the time of purchase. The Index is designed to represent U.S. equities with risk/return characteristics of the mid cap universe. During the 12 months ending October 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. Six of the eleven economic sectors in the Index posted positive returns as communication services and information technology posted the best returns for the year. The materials and consumer discretionary sectors recorded the worst returns. Ciena, Comfort Systems USA, and Pure Storage contributed to Fund performance. Sarepta Therapeutics, Avantor, and Saia 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 in equity securities of companies that compose the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") MidCap 400 Index ("Index") at the time of purchase. The Index is designed to represent U.S. equities with risk/return characteristics of the mid cap universe. During the 12 months ending October 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. Six of the eleven economic sectors in the Index posted positive returns as communication services and information technology posted the best returns for the year. The materials and consumer discretionary sectors recorded the worst returns. Ciena, Comfort Systems USA, and Pure Storage contributed to Fund performance. Sarepta Therapeutics, Avantor, and Saia detracted from Fund performance for 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 in equity securities of companies that compose the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") MidCap 400 Index ("Index") at the time of purchase. The Index is designed to represent U.S. equities with risk/return characteristics of the mid cap universe. During the 12 months ending October 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. Six of the eleven economic sectors in the Index posted positive returns as communication services and information technology posted the best returns for the year. The materials and consumer discretionary sectors recorded the worst returns. Ciena, Comfort Systems USA, and Pure Storage contributed to Fund performance. Sarepta Therapeutics, Avantor, and Saia detracted from Fund performance for the year.

 
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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies that compose the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") MidCap 400 Index ("Index") at the time of purchase. The Index is designed to represent U.S. equities with risk/return characteristics of the mid cap universe. During the 12 months ending October 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. Six of the eleven economic sectors in the Index posted positive returns as communication services and information technology posted the best returns for the year. The materials and consumer discretionary sectors recorded the worst returns. Ciena, Comfort Systems USA, and Pure Storage contributed to Fund performance. Sarepta Therapeutics, Avantor, and Saia 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 in equity securities of value companies with medium market capitalizations. It invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. Over the past 12 months, Los Angeles Capital Management LLC (“LA Capital”) outperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index (“Index”). LA Capital outperformed the Index due to strong stock selection in the industrials, healthcare, and energy sectors, as well as an underweight to the materials sector. Victory Capital Management Inc. (“Victory”) benefited from strong stock selection in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors. Victory underperformed the Index during the year. Victory underperformed due to poor stock selection in the information technology and industrials sectors, as well as an overweight to the materials sector. LA Capital’s performance was hurt by poor stock selection in the financials and communication services sectors, as well as an overweight to the healthcare sector.

 
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 in equity securities of value companies with medium market capitalizations. It invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. Over the past 12 months, Los Angeles Capital Management LLC (“LA Capital”) outperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index (“Index”). LA Capital outperformed the Index due to strong stock selection in the industrials, healthcare, and energy sectors, as well as an underweight to the materials sector. Victory Capital Management Inc. (“Victory”) benefited from strong stock selection in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors. Victory underperformed the Index during the year. Victory underperformed due to poor stock selection in the information technology and industrials sectors, as well as an overweight to the materials sector. LA Capital’s performance was hurt by poor stock selection in the financials and communication services sectors, as well as an overweight to the healthcare sector.

 
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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of value companies with medium market capitalizations. It invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. Over the past 12 months, Los Angeles Capital Management LLC (“LA Capital”) outperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index (“Index”). LA Capital outperformed the Index due to strong stock selection in the industrials, healthcare, and energy sectors, as well as an underweight to the materials sector. Victory Capital Management Inc. (“Victory”) benefited from strong stock selection in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors. Victory underperformed the Index during the year. Victory underperformed due to poor stock selection in the information technology and industrials sectors, as well as an overweight to the materials sector. LA Capital’s performance was hurt by poor stock selection in the financials and communication services sectors, as well as an overweight to the healthcare sector.

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 in equity securities of value companies with medium market capitalizations. It invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. Over the past 12 months, Los Angeles Capital Management LLC (“LA Capital”) outperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index (“Index”). LA Capital outperformed the Index due to strong stock selection in the industrials, healthcare, and energy sectors, as well as an underweight to the materials sector. Victory Capital Management Inc. (“Victory”) benefited from strong stock selection in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors. Victory underperformed the Index during the year. Victory underperformed due to poor stock selection in the information technology and industrials sectors, as well as an overweight to the materials sector. LA Capital’s performance was hurt by poor stock selection in the financials and communication services sectors, as well as an overweight to the healthcare sector.

 
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 in equity securities of value companies with medium market capitalizations. It invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. Over the past 12 months, Los Angeles Capital Management LLC (“LA Capital”) outperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index (“Index”). LA Capital outperformed the Index due to strong stock selection in the industrials, healthcare, and energy sectors, as well as an underweight to the materials sector. Victory Capital Management Inc. (“Victory”) benefited from strong stock selection in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors. Victory underperformed the Index during the year. Victory underperformed due to poor stock selection in the information technology and industrials sectors, as well as an overweight to the materials sector. LA Capital’s performance was hurt by poor stock selection in the financials and communication services sectors, as well as an overweight to the healthcare sector.

 
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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities that are tied economically to countries outside the U.S. It invests in emerging market securities. The Fund invests in value equity securities, an investment strategy that emphasizes buying equity securities that appear to be undervalued. It invests in equity securities of small, medium, and large market capitalization companies. For the year, Causeway Capital Management LLC (“Causeway”) benefited from strong stock selection in the information technology, financials, and consumer discretionary sectors. Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC's (“Barrow Hanley”) benefited from strong stock selection in the information technology, industrials, and utilities sectors. For the year, both Causeway and Barrow Hanley underperformed the MSCI EAFE Value Index (“Index”). Causeway underperformed the Index due to an underweight to the financials sector, an overweight to the information technology sector, and poor stock selection in the industrials sector. Barrow Hanley underperformed the Index due to an underweight to the financials sector, as well as poor stock selection in the consumer discretionary, communication services, and consumer staples sectors.

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 EAFE 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 MSCI EAFE Value 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.
