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 for you if your Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected

in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During its most recently ended fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover

rate was

232% of the average value of its portfolio.

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 (except where indicated).

The

example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that the example is

based on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement assuming that such waiver and/or reimbursement will

only be in place through the date noted above and on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the remaining periods. The example for Class C shares for

the ten-year period reflects the conversion to Class A shares after eight years. The example does not take into account brokerage commissions and other fees

to financial intermediaries that you may pay on your purchases and sales of shares of the Fund. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on

these assumptions your costs would be:

Strategy [Heading]

Investments, Risks and Performance Principal Investment Strategies

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund seeks to achieve long and short exposure to global equity, bond,

currency

and commodity markets through a wide range of derivative instruments

and direct investments. Under normal market conditions, the Adviser typically will make extensive use of derivative instruments, in particular futures, forward

contracts and swaps on global equity and fixed-income securities, securities indices (including both broad- and narrow-based securities indices), currencies,

commodities and other instruments. These investments are intended to provide the Fund with risk and return characteristics similar to those of a diversified

portfolio of hedge funds. The Fund may also make direct long and short investments in equity and fixed-income securities.

The Fund seeks to generate absolute returns over time rather than track the performance of any particular index of hedge fund returns. In selecting

investments for the Fund, the Adviser uses quantitative models to estimate the market exposures that drive the aggregate returns of a diverse set of hedge

funds. The Adviser seeks to capture these market exposures in the aggregate while adding value through dynamic allocation among market exposures and

volatility management. These market exposures may include, for example, exposures to the returns of stocks, fixed-income securities (including U.S. and non-

U.S. government securities, as well as corporate debt securities), currencies and commodities. In estimating these market exposures, the Adviser may use

various approaches, including analyses of the returns of hedge funds included in one or more commercially available databases selected by the Adviser (for

example, the Lipper TASS hedge fund database) and regulatory filings. The Fund may also directly employ various strategies commonly used by hedge funds

that seek to profit from underlying risk factors, such as merger arbitrage and trend-following strategies. In a merger arbitrage strategy, the Adviser buys

shares of target companies in corporate reorganizations and establishes short positions in shares of the acquiring companies. Trend-following strategies

analyze markets over various time horizons to invest either long or short in assets whose values are rising or falling, respectively.

The Adviser will have great flexibility to allocate the Fund’s exposure among various securities, indices, currencies, commodities and other instruments; the

amount of the Fund’s assets that may be allocated to various strategies and among investments is expected to vary over time. When buying and selling

securities and other instruments for the Fund, the Adviser also may consider other factors, such as: (i) the Fund’s obligations under its various derivative

positions; (ii) portfolio rebalancing; (iii) redemption requests; (iv) yield management; (v) credit management; and (vi) volatility management. The Fund will not

invest directly in hedge funds. The Fund may invest in non-U.S. securities and instruments and securities and instruments traded outside the United States,

and expects to engage in non-U.S. currency transactions.

The Adviser currently targets an annualized volatility level of 9% or less (as measured by the standard deviation of the Fund’s returns). The Fund’s actual or

realized volatility during certain periods or over time may materially exceed its target volatility for various reasons, including changes in market levels of

volatility and because the Fund’s portfolio may include instruments that are inherently volatile. This would increase the risk of investing in the Fund.

Under normal market conditions, it is expected that no more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets will be dedicated to initial and variation margin payments

relating to the Fund’s derivative transactions. The gross notional value of the Fund’s derivative investments, however, will generally exceed 25% of the Fund’s

assets, and may significantly exceed the total value of the Fund’s assets. The Adviser will invest a portion of the Fund’s assets, which may vary over time, in

short-term, high-quality securities. Such investments will be used primarily to finance the Fund’s investments in derivatives and, secondarily, to provide the

Fund with incremental income and liquidity, and may include: (i) short-term obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States government, its agencies or

instrumentalities; (ii) securities issued by foreign governments, their political subdivisions or agencies or instrumentalities; (iii) certificates of deposit, time

deposits and bankers’ acceptances issued by domestic banks, foreign branches of domestic banks, foreign subsidiaries of domestic banks, and domestic and

foreign branches of foreign banks; (iv) variable amount master demand notes; (v) participation interests in loans extended by banks to companies; (vi)

commercial paper or similar debt obligations; and (vii) repurchase agreements. The Adviser will select such investments based on various factors, including

the security’s maturity and credit rating.

Although the Fund does not intend to invest in physical commodities directly, the Fund expects to obtain investment exposure to commodities and commodity-

related derivatives through a wholly-owned subsidiary organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands that will make commodity-related investments (the

“Commodity Subsidiary”). Under normal market conditions, no more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets will be dedicated to initial and variation margin

payments relating to these transactions.

The Fund will concentrate its investments in the financial services industry, which means it will normally invest at least 25% of its total assets in securities

and other obligations (for example, bank certificates of deposit) of issuers in such industry. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of securities

and other instruments. Effects of frequent trading may include high transaction costs, which may lower the Fund’s return, and realization of greater short-term

capital gains, distributions of which are taxable as ordinary income to taxable shareholders. Trading costs and tax effects associated with frequent trading

may adversely affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s trading in derivatives is active and frequent. Active and frequent trading of derivatives, like active

and frequent trading of securities, will result in transaction costs which reduce fund returns.

The percentage limitations set forth herein are not investment restrictions and the Fund may exceed these limits from time to time.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

Principal Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. The Fund does not represent a complete investment program.

You may lose money

by investing in the Fund.

The significance of any specific risk to an investment in the Fund will vary over time, depending on the composition of the Fund’s portfolio, market conditions,

and other factors. You should read all of the risk information presented below carefully, because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the

Fund.

Leverage Risk:

Taking short positions in securities results in a form of leverage. Leverage is the risk associated with securities or investment practices (e.g.,

borrowing and the use of certain derivatives) that multiply small index, market or asset-price movements into larger changes in value. The use of leverage

increases the impact of gains and losses on the Fund’s returns, and may lead to significant losses if investments are not successful.

Derivatives Risk:

Derivative instruments (such as those in which the Fund may invest, including futures, swaps, forward contracts, and other foreign

currency transactions and commodity-linked derivatives) are subject to changes in the value of the underlying assets or indices on which such instruments are

based. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives will be effective or that suitable transactions will be available. Even a small investment in derivatives

may give rise to leverage risk and can have a significant impact on the Fund’s exposure to commodities markets, securities markets values, interest rates or

currency exchange rates. It is possible that the Fund’s liquid assets may be insufficient to support its obligations under its derivatives positions. The use of

derivatives for other than hedging purposes may be considered a speculative activity, and involves greater risks than are involved in hedging. The use of

derivatives may cause the Fund to incur losses greater than those that would have occurred had derivatives not been used. The Fund’s use of derivatives,

such as futures, swaps, forward contracts, and other foreign currency transactions and commodity-linked derivatives involves other risks, such as the credit

risk relating to the other party to a derivative contract (which is greater for forward contracts, uncleared swaps and other OTC derivatives), the risk of

difficulties in pricing and valuation, the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with changes in the value of relevant

assets, rates or indices, liquidity risk, allocation risk and the risk of losing more than the initial margin (if any) required to initiate derivatives positions. There

is also the risk that the Fund may be unable to terminate or sell a derivatives position at an advantageous time or price. The Fund’s derivative counterparties

may experience financial difficulties or otherwise be unwilling or unable to honor their obligations, possibly resulting in losses to the Fund. There is a risk that

the Adviser’s use of derivatives, such as futures and forward contracts, to manage the Fund’s volatility may be ineffective or may exacerbate losses, for

example, if the derivative or the underlying assets decrease in value over time.

Equity Securities Risk:

The value of the Fund’s investments in equity securities could be subject to unpredictable declines in the value of individual

securities and periods of below-average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole.

In the event an issuer is liquidated or

declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of the issuer’s bonds generally take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred stock or common

stock.

Short Exposure Risk:

A short exposure through a derivative or short sale may present various risks, including credit/counterparty risk and leverage risk. If

the value of the asset, asset class or index on which the Fund has obtained a short investment exposure increases, the Fund will incur a loss. Unlike a direct

cash investment such as a stock, bond or exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), where the potential loss is limited to the purchase price, the potential risk of loss

from a short exposure is theoretically unlimited. The Fund may be unable to borrow securities in connection with a short sale or to enter into a short position

at an advantageous time or price, which could limit its ability to obtain the desired short exposure. Moreover, there can be no assurance that securities

necessary to cover (repurchase in order to close) a short position will be available for purchase.

Models and Data Risk:

The Adviser utilizes various proprietary quantitative models to identify investment opportunities. There is a possibility that one or all

of the quantitative models may fail to identify profitable opportunities at any time. Furthermore, the models may incorrectly identify opportunities and these

misidentified opportunities may lead to substantial losses for the Fund. Models may be predictive in nature and such models may result in an incorrect

assessment of future events. Data used in the construction of models may prove to be inaccurate or stale, which may result in losses for the Fund.

Allocation Risk:

This is the risk that the Adviser’s judgments about, and allocations between, asset classes and market exposures may adversely affect the

Fund’s performance. The allocation, as set forth above, may not be optimal in every market condition. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund as

a result of this allocation. This risk can be increased by the use of derivatives to increase allocations to various market exposures. This is because derivatives

can create investment leverage, which will magnify the impact to the Fund of its investment in any underperforming market exposure.

Commodity Risk:

This is the risk that exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional

securities. The value of physical commodities or commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements,

commodity price volatility, changes in interest rates, currency fluctuations, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods,

weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.

Commodity Subsidiary Risk:

Investing in the Commodity Subsidiary will indirectly expose the Fund to the risks associated with the Commodity Subsidiary’s

investments, such as commodity risk. The Commodity Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and is not

subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the

Commodity Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders.

Concentrated Investment Risk:

The Fund is particularly vulnerable to events affecting companies in the financial services industry because the Fund

concentrates its investments in securities and other obligations of issuers in such industry. Examples of risks affecting the financial services industry include

changes in governmental regulation, issues relating to the availability and cost of capital, changes in interest rates and/or monetary policy and price

competition. In addition, financial services companies are often more highly leveraged than other companies, making them inherently riskier. As a result, the

Fund’s shares may rise and fall in value more rapidly and to a greater extent than shares of a fund that does not concentrate or focus in a particular industry

or economic sector.

Credit/Counterparty Risk:

Credit/counterparty risk is the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security, or the counterparty to a derivative or

other transaction, will be unable or unwilling to make timely payments of interest or principal or to otherwise honor its obligations. As a result, the Fund may

sustain losses or be unable or delayed in its ability to realize gains. The Fund will be subject to credit/counterparty risk with respect to the counterparties to

its derivative transactions. This risk will be heightened to the extent the Fund enters into derivative transactions with a single counterparty (or affiliated

counterparties that are part of the same organization), causing the Fund to have significant exposure to such counterparty. Many of the protections afforded

to participants on organized exchanges and clearing houses, such as the performance guarantee given by a central clearing house, are not available in

connection with over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives transactions, such as foreign currency transactions. For centrally cleared derivatives, such as cleared

swaps, futures and many options, the primary credit/counterparty risk is the creditworthiness of the Fund’s clearing broker and the central clearing house

itself.

This risk will be heightened to the extent the Fund enters into derivative transactions with a single counterparty (or affiliated counterparties that are

part of the same organization), causing the Fund to have significant exposure to such counterparty.

Currency Risk:

Fluctuations in the exchange rates between different currencies may negatively affect an investment.

The Fund may be subject to currency

risk because it may invest a significant portion of its assets in currency-related instruments and may invest in securities or other instruments denominated in,

or that generate income denominated in, foreign currencies. The Fund may elect not to hedge currency risk, or may hedge such risk imperfectly, which may

cause the Fund to incur losses that would not have been incurred had the risk been hedged.

Cybersecurity and Technology Risk:

The Fund, its service providers, and other market participants increasingly depend on complex information

technology and communications systems, which are subject to a number of different threats and risks that could adversely affect the Fund and its

shareholders. Cybersecurity and other operational and technology issues may result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders.

Foreign Securities Risk:

Investments in foreign securities may be subject to greater political, economic, environmental, credit

and information risks.

The

Fund’s investments in foreign securities also are subject to foreign currency fluctuations and other foreign currency-related risks. Foreign securities may be

subject to higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity.

Hedge Fund Risk:

Hedge funds are typically unregulated private investment pools available only to sophisticated investors. They are often illiquid and highly

leveraged. Although the Fund will not invest directly in hedge funds, because the Fund’s investments are intended to provide exposure to the factors that

drive hedge fund returns, an investment in the Fund will be subject to many of the same risks associated with an investment in a diversified portfolio of hedge

funds. Therefore, the Fund’s performance may be lower than the returns of the broader stock market and the Fund’s net asset value may fluctuate

substantially over time.

Index/Tracking Error Risk:

Although the Fund does not seek to track any particular index, the Fund seeks to analyze the factors that drive hedge fund

returns, as determined by reference to one or more indices. These indices may not provide an accurate representation of hedge fund returns generally, and

the Adviser’s strategy may not successfully identify or be able to replicate factors that drive returns. There is a risk that hedge fund return data provided by

third party hedge fund index providers may be inaccurate or may not accurately reflect hedge fund returns due to survivorship bias, self-reporting bias or other

biases.

Interest Rate Risk:

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the Fund’s investments will fall if interest rates rise.

Generally, the value of fixed-income

securities rises when prevailing interest rates fall and falls when interest rates rise. Interest rate risk generally is greater for funds that invest in fixed-income

securities with relatively longer durations than for funds that invest in fixed-income securities with shorter durations.

In addition, an economic downturn or

period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these securities and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell them, negatively impacting the

performance of the Fund. Potential future changes in government monetary policy may affect the level of interest rates.

Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk:

The Fund will indirectly bear the management, service and other fees of any other investment

companies, including ETFs, in which it invests in addition to its own expenses.

Large Investor Risk:

Ownership of shares of the Fund may be concentrated in one or a few large investors. Such investors may redeem shares in large

quantities or on a frequent basis. Redemptions by a large investor can affect the performance of the Fund, may increase realized capital gains, including

short-term capital gains taxable as ordinary income, may accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders and may increase transaction costs.

These transactions potentially limit the use of any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any). Such

transactions may also increase the Fund’s expenses.

LIBOR Risk:

LIBOR risk is the risk that the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in

markets that are tied to LIBOR. LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate that is used extensively as a “reference rate” for financial instruments, including many

corporate and municipal bonds, bank loans, asset-backed and mortgage-related securities, interest rate swaps and other derivatives. Additionally, the Fund

may borrow money at rates that are based on LIBOR. In July 2017, the head of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the agency that

oversees LIBOR, announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. The FCA and LIBOR’s administrator, ICE Benchmark Administration,

have announced that most LIBOR rates will no longer be published after the end of 2021 and a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR rates will no longer be published

after June 30, 2023. The transition away from LIBOR poses a number of other risks, including changed values of LIBOR-related investments and reduced

effectiveness of hedging strategies, each of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.

Liquidity Risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may be unable to find a buyer for its investments when it seeks to sell them or to receive the price it

expects.

Decreases in the number of financial institutions willing to make markets in the Fund’s investments or in their capacity or willingness to transact may

increase the Fund’s exposure to this risk. Events that may lead to increased redemptions, such as market disruptions or increases in interest rates, may also

negatively impact the liquidity of the Fund’s investments when it needs to dispose of them. If the Fund is forced to sell its investments at an unfavorable time

and/or under adverse conditions in order to meet redemption requests, such sales could negatively affect the Fund. Derivatives, and particularly OTC

derivatives, are generally subject to liquidity risk as well. Liquidity issues may also make it difficult to value the Fund’s investments.

Management Risk:

A strategy used by the Fund’s

portfolio managers may fail to produce the intended result.

Market/Issuer Risk:

The market value of the Fund’s investments will move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based upon overall market

and economic conditions, as well as a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuers of the Fund’s investments, such as management performance,

financial condition and demand for the issuers’ goods and services.

The Adviser will attempt to reduce this risk by implementing various volatility

management strategies and techniques. However, there is no guarantee that such strategies and techniques will produce the intended result.

Portfolio Turnover Rate Risk:

The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to pursue its principal investment strategy. A high

rate of portfolio turnover may involve correspondingly greater expenses, which must be borne by the Fund and its shareholders, and also may result in short-

term capital gains or losses to shareholders.

U.S. Government Securities Risk:

Investments in certain U.S. government securities may not be supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.

government. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or

sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. The maximum potential liability of the issuers of some U.S. government securities held by the Fund

may greatly exceed their current resources, and it is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. In

such a case, the Fund would have to look principally to the agency, instrumentality or sponsored enterprise issuing or guaranteeing the security for ultimate

repayment, and the Fund may not be able to assert a claim against the U.S. government itself in the event the agency, instrumentality or sponsored enterprise

does not meet its commitment. Concerns about the capacity of the U.S. government to meet its obligations may raise the interest rates payable on its

securities, negatively impacting the price of such securities already held by the Fund.

Valuation Risk:

This is the risk that the Fund has valued certain securities or positions at a higher price than the price at which they can be sold. This risk

may be especially pronounced for investments, such as derivatives, that may be illiquid or may become illiquid.
