Portfolio Turnover, Heading rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
Portfolio Turnover rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's
performance. The Fund's portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to
cash instruments or derivatives. If such instruments were included, the Fund's
portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, Based on Estimates rr_AcquiredFundFeesAndExpensesBasedOnEstimates "Other Expenses," "Other Expenses of the Fund," and "Other Expenses of the Subsidiary" are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.
Expense Example, Heading rr_ExpenseExampleHeading EXAMPLE
Expense Example, Narrative rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated, and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be
higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Investment Strategy, Heading rr_StrategyHeading PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Investment Strategy, Narrative rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock The Fund's investment strategy focuses on the use of a systematic, price-based
statistical process to identify and profit from price trends in a diverse
selection of commodity and financial futures markets. The strategy's universe of
markets includes all of the major liquid, exchanged-traded futures and foreign
exchange markets principally in the commodity, currency, fixed income, and
equity index sectors.

The Advisor uses proprietary methods of comparing current prices to historical
prices over varying periods of time to identify trends of varying lengths in the
commodity and financial markets. When a price trend in a particular market for a
specific time frame is identified, the strategy will take either a long or short
position in the related futures or forward contract. If the strategy does not
identify a trend, the Fund's portfolio will not establish a position with
exposure to that particular market segment. The size of each position is
determined by the estimated risk of each position as measured by recent
volatility. Position sizes also may be constrained by position margin
requirements, liquidity needs, leverage limits, and other portfolio or market
measures. The Advisor may employ systematic relative value trading strategies
and other risk-management strategies in an effort to mitigate declines in the
market price of the Fund's shares, reduce risk, and improve returns over time.
Such strategies may reduce the Fund's level of investment during periods of
declining Fund performance.

The Fund will implement the strategy's targeted exposures principally through
the use of futures, forwards, and swap agreements. The Fund may invest in a
variety of futures, forwards and swap agreements, including those based on
interest rates, commodities, currencies, fixed income securities, equities and
equity indices. Options on futures and options will be employed principally for
hedging purposes, especially as tools of the risk management strategies. In the
course of implementing the Fund's investment strategy, the Advisor may purchase
and sell options and futures contracts. Certain of the Fund's derivative
investments may be traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market. Under normal
circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any
borrowings for investment purposes, in "managed futures." For these purposes,
managed futures are investments in equity-linked, commodity-linked,
currency-linked and financial-linked instruments, as well as U.S. government
securities and money market instruments, that taken together have economic
characteristics similar or equivalent to those of the listed commodity, currency
and financial futures contracts described above.

On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities, short-term
fixed-income securities (generally rated AA or higher), money market
instruments, overnight and fixed-term repurchase agreements, cash, and other
cash equivalents with maturities of one year or less to collateralize it
derivatives positions. The Fund also may enter into repurchase agreements with
counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a wholly-owned and
controlled Cayman Islands subsidiary (the "Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary is
advised by the Advisor, and has the same investment objective as the Fund.
Unlike the Fund, however, the Subsidiary may invest to a greater extent in
commodity-linked derivative instruments. The Subsidiary's investments in such
instruments are subject to limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"). The Fund's investment in the
Subsidiary is expected to provide the Fund with an effective means of obtaining
exposure to the investment returns of global commodities markets.

In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis,
the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the
close of the U.S. financial markets. The Fund is non-diversified and, therefore,
may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer in
comparison to a diversified fund. The Fund has adopted an investment policy to
not invest 25% or more of the value of its assets in the securities of one or
more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same
industry.
Risk, Heading rr_RiskHeading PRINCIPAL RISKS
Risk, Narrative rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock As with all mutual funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk that his or her
investment could lose money. In addition to this risk, the Fund is subject to a
number of additional risks that may affect the value of its shares, including:

Active Trading Risk - Active trading, also called "high portfolio turnover," may
result in higher brokerage costs or mark-up charges, which may negatively affect
Fund performance and result in short-term capital gains, which have a negative
tax effect. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active
trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment
objective.

Commodity-linked Derivative Investment Risk - The Fund may invest in
commodity-linked derivative instruments. The value of a commodity-linked
derivative investment typically is based upon the price movements of a physical
commodity (such as heating oil, livestock, or agricultural products), a
commodity futures contract or commodity index, or some other readily measurable
economic variable dependent upon changes in the value of commodities or the
commodities markets. The value of these securities will rise or fall in response
to changes in the underlying commodity or related benchmark or investment. These
securities expose the Fund economically to movements in commodity prices. The
Fund's investment in commodity-related investment products may lead to losses in
excess of the Fund's investment in such products. Such losses can significantly
and adversely affect the net asset value of the Fund and, consequently, a
shareholder's interest in the Fund.

Counterparty Credit Risk - The Fund may make investments in financial
instruments involving counterparties that attempt to gain exposure to a
particular group of securities, index or asset class without actually purchasing
those securities or investments, or to hedge a position. The Fund's use of such
financial instruments, including swap agreements, involves risks that are
different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions.
For example, if a swap agreement counterparty defaults on its payment
obligations to the Fund, this default will cause the value of your investment in
the Fund to decrease. Swap agreements also may be considered to be illiquid.

Currency Risk - The Fund's indirect and direct exposure to foreign currencies
subjects the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value
relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of short positions, that the U.S.
dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. The Fund
also may incur transaction costs in connection with conversions between various
currencies.

Derivatives Risk - The Fund's investments in derivatives may pose risks in
addition to those associated with investing directly in securities or other
investments, including illiquidity of the derivatives, imperfect correlations
with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, lack of
availability and counterparty risk. While the majority of the Fund's derivative
investments will be used to obtain exposure to the commodities markets, certain
of the Fund's derivative investments will be employed to hedge risk and limit
leveraged exposure. There is no guarantee that such hedging strategies will be
effective at managing risk.

Early Closing Risk - The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early
closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the
Fund's inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on
that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.

Fixed Income Risk - The Fund's investments in fixed income securities will
change in value in response to interest rate changes and other factors, such as
the perception of the issuer's creditworthiness. For example, the value of fixed
income securities will generally decrease when interest rates rise, which may
cause the value of the Fund to decrease. In addition, the Fund's investments in
fixed income securities with longer maturities will fluctuate more in response
to interest rate changes.

Foreign Issuer Exposure Risk - The Fund may invest in securities of foreign
companies directly, or indirectly through the use of other investment companies
and financial instruments that are linked to the performance of foreign issuers.
Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity
than U.S. markets, and prices in some foreign markets may fluctuate more than
those of securities traded on U.S. markets.

Investment In The Subsidiary Risk - The Subsidiary is not registered under the
Investment Company Act and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not
subject to all of the investor protections of the Investment Company Act. Thus,
the Fund, as the sole investor in the Subsidiary, will not have all of the
protections offered to shareholders of registered investment companies. By
investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is exposed to the risks of the
Subsidiary's investments, which in turn will be exposed primarily to the risks
of investing in the commodities markets. The Fund also will incur its pro rata
share of the expenses of the Subsidiary. In addition, changes in the laws of the
United States or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary,
respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or
the Subsidiary to operate as intended and could negatively affect the Fund and
its shareholders.

Investment Technique Risk - Some investment techniques of the Fund, such as its
use of derivatives and other commodity-linked financial instruments to seek to
achieve its investment objective, may be considered aggressive. These
instruments may increase the volatility of the Fund and may involve a small
investment of cash relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed. Such
investment techniques may not consistently produce desired results and may be
limited by legislative, regulatory, or tax developments.

Leveraging Risk - The Fund derives substantially all of its commodities exposure
from its investment in derivatives and other financial instruments that provide
leveraged exposure. The Fund's investment in these instruments generally
requires a small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure
assumed. As a result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the
amount invested in those instruments. Because such instruments are an integral
part of the Fund's investment strategy, the use of such instruments may expose
the Fund to potentially dramatic losses or gains in the value of its portfolio.
The cost of investing in such instruments generally increases as interest rates
increase, which will lower the Fund's return.

Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, it may be difficult for the Fund to
purchase and sell particular investments within a reasonable time at a fair
price. While the Fund intends only to invest in liquid futures, options,
forwards and swap contracts, under certain market conditions, such as when the
market makes a "limit move," it may be difficult or impossible for the Fund to
liquidate such an investment. In addition, the ability of the Fund to assign an
accurate daily value to certain investments may be difficult, and the Advisor
may be required to fair value these investments.

Market Risk - The Fund's investments in securities and derivatives, in general,
are subject to market risks that may cause their prices, and therefore the
Fund's value, to fluctuate over time. An investment in the Fund may lose money.

Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest
a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single security
could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in
a diversified fund.

OTC Trading Risk - Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may
be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC
derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is
largely unregulated. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated
contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such
derivative contracts.

Portfolio Turnover Risk - The Fund's strategy may frequently involve buying and
selling portfolio securities, which may lead to increased costs to the Fund.
Portfolio turnover risk may cause the Fund's performance to be less than you
expect.

Repurchase Agreement Risk - The Fund's investment in repurchase agreements may
be subject to market and credit risk with respect to the collateral securing the
repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements also may be subject
to the risk that the market value of the underlying obligations may decline
prior to the expiration of the repurchase agreement term.

Short Sales Risk - Short selling a security involves selling a borrowed security
with the expectation that the value of the security will decline, so that the
security may be purchased at a lower price when returning the borrowed security.
The risk for loss on short selling is greater than the original value of the
security sold short because the price of the borrowed security may rise, thereby
increasing the price at which the security must be purchased. Government actions
also may affect the Fund's ability to engage in short selling.

Tax Risk - The Fund currently gains most of its exposure to the commodities
markets through its investment in the Subsidiary which may invest in
commodity-linked derivative instruments and other similar instruments. However,
to the extent the Fund invests in such instruments directly, it may be subject
to the risk that such instruments will not generate qualifying income and, thus,
may compromise the Fund's ability to qualify as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If the Fund
invests in such instruments directly, it intends to restrict its income from
commodity-linked derivative instruments that do not generate qualifying income,
such as commodity-linked swaps, to a maximum of 10% of its gross income (when
combined with its other investments that produce non-qualifying income), to
ensure its continued ability to qualify as a regulated investment company. The
tax treatment of certain commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected
by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character,
timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions.

Temporary Defensive Investment Risk - The Fund does not attempt to take
defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to
greater losses in a declining market than a fund that does take defensive
positions in declining markets.

Trading Halt Risk - If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable
to purchase or sell certain securities, options or futures contracts. Such a
trading halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund's
ability to use leverage and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment
objective.
Risk, Lose Money rr_RiskLoseMoney As with all mutual funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money.
Risk, Nondiversified Status rr_RiskNondiversifiedStatus The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single security could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund.
