Risk Return [Abstract]	rr_RiskReturnAbstract
Risk/Return [Heading]	rr_RiskReturnHeading	Retailing Fund
Objective [Heading]	rr_ObjectiveHeading	INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Objective, Primary [Text Block]	rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock	The Retailing Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing in companies engaged in merchandising finished goods and services, including department stores, mail order operations and other companies involved in selling products to consumers ("Retailing Companies").
Expense [Heading]	rr_ExpenseHeading	FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND
Expense Narrative [Text Block]	rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock	This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold A-Class Shares or C-Class Shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in certain funds in the Guggenheim Investments family of funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and under the "Sales Charges" section on page 297 of this Prospectus and in the "A-Class Shares - Initial Sales Charges, Reductions, and Waivers" section beginning on page 108 of the Fund's Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI").
Shareholder Fees Caption [Text]	rr_ShareholderFeesCaption	SHAREHOLDER FEES (fees paid directly from your investment)
Operating Expenses Caption [Text]	rr_OperatingExpensesCaption	ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Portfolio Turnover [Heading]	rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading	PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]	rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock	The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may 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. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 822% of the average value of its portfolio. 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.

Expense Example [Heading]	rr_ExpenseExampleHeading	EXAMPLE
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]	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:

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests substantially all (at least 80%) of its net assets in equity securities of Retailing Companies that are traded in the United States and in derivatives, which primarily consist of futures contracts and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. The Fund will invest to a significant extent in the securities of Retailing Companies that have small to mid-sized capitalizations. Retailing Companies include drug and department stores; suppliers of goods and services for homes, home improvements and yards; clothing, jewelry, electronics and computer retailers; warehouse membership clubs; mail order operations; and companies involved in alternative selling methods. The Fund also may purchase American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") to gain exposure to foreign Retailing Companies and U.S. government securities. 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 invests in the securities of a limited number of issuers conducting business in the retailing sector and, therefore, may be concentrated in an industry or group of industries within the retailing sector. 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.

Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	PRINCIPAL RISKS
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	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. Depositary Receipt Risk - The Fund may hold the securities of non-U.S. companies in the form of ADRs. The underlying securities of the ADRs in the Fund's portfolio are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may affect the value of the Fund's portfolio. In addition, the value of the securities underlying the ADRs may change materially when the U.S. markets are not open for trading. Investments in the underlying foreign securities also involve political and economic risks distinct from those associated with investing in the securities of U.S. issuers. 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. The Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested. 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. Foreign Issuer Exposure Risk - The Fund may invest in securities of foreign companies directly, or in financial instruments, such as ADRs, that are indirectly 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. 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. Mid-Capitalization Securities Risk - The Fund is subject to the risk that medium-capitalization stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. 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. Retailing Sector Risk - To the extent that the Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the retailing sector, the Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting that economic sector. The prices of the securities of the Retailing Companies also may fluctuate widely in response to such events. Small-Capitalization Securities Risk - The Fund is subject to the risk that small-capitalization stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. 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 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 [Text]	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 [Text]	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.
Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading]	rr_BarChartAndPerformanceTableHeading	PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Performance Narrative [Text Block]	rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock	The following bar chart shows the performance of the C-Class Shares of the Fund from year to year. The variability of performance over time provides an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The following table shows the average annual total returns of the A-Class Shares and C-Class Shares of the Fund over different periods of time in comparison to the performance of a broad-based market index. The figures in the bar chart and table assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions but do not reflect sales charges. If they did, returns would be lower. Of course, this past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund's website at www.rydex-sgi.com or by calling Guggenheim Investments Client Services at 800-820-0888.
