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 Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 24% of the average value of its portfolio.

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.  This 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.  This 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 INVESTMENTS, RISKS, AND PERFORMANCE Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock
Under normal circumstances, in pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund may invest in any security type (e.g., common and preferred stocks, bonds, convertible securities, etc.) and in companies of any size, industry, sector, including both domestic and foreign companies.  Generally, the Investment Manager seeks to invest in what it believes to be quality companies with unique combinations of strength in operations, products, and finances with either growth or value characteristics.  A security is typically sold when its potential to meet the Fund’s investment objective is limited or exceeded by another potential investment, when an investment in an issuer no longer appears to meet the Fund’s investment objective, or when the Fund must raise cash to meet shareholder redemptions.  In seeking to enhance returns, the Fund may use futures, options, and short sales and may use leverage to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act.  To achieve the Fund’s investment objective, the Investment Manager may use a seasonal investing strategy to invest the Fund’s assets to gain exposure to the securities markets during periods anticipated to be favorable based on patterns of investor behavior as driven by and related to accounting periods, taxable events, and other calendar related phenomena.  The Investment Manager’s analysis also takes into consideration those periods during the year in which it anticipates that investors are more likely to invest additional money into the securities markets.  These periods can be related to accounting periods and may be further refined by considerations of tax cycles, holidays, and other factors.   The Fund may trade securities actively in pursuit of its investment objective.   
The Fund may, from time to time, under adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions, take a defensive position, sell securities short, and/or invest some or all of its assets in cash, bank deposits, money market funds, money market securities of U.S. and foreign issuers, short term bonds, repurchase agreements, or similar investments.  When the Fund takes a defensive position, it may not achieve its investment objective. 
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit.  It is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.  It is not a complete investment program and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. 
Non-Diversification.  The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it is not limited by the 1940 Act in the proportion of its assets that may be invested in the securities or obligations of a single issuer.  As a result, the Fund may hold a smaller number of issuers than if it were diversified.  Investing in a non-diversified fund could involve more risk than investing in a fund that holds a broader range of securities because changes in the financial condition of a single issuer could cause greater fluctuation in the Fund’s total returns.   
Leverage.  The Fund may use leverage to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act.  Leveraging (buying securities using borrowed money) exaggerates the effect on NAV of any increase or decrease in the market value of the Fund’s investments.  Money the Fund borrows for leveraging is limited to 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund’s total assets.  These borrowings would be subject to interest costs that may or may not be offset by income or capital gain from the securities purchased.  There can be no assurance that the Fund’s use of leverage will be successful. 
Foreign Investments.  Investments in the securities of foreign issuers involve certain considerations and risks not ordinarily associated with investments in the securities of domestic issuers.  Foreign companies are not generally subject to the same accounting, auditing, and financial standards and requirements as those applicable to U.S. companies.  Additionally, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than a U.S. company.  Investments in foreign securities could expose the Fund to the direct or indirect consequences of political, social, or economic changes in the foreign countries where those securities are issued or in which the issuers are located.  With respect to certain foreign countries, there are risks of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments that could affect assets of the Fund held in custody in those foreign countries.  If the value of any foreign currency in which the Fund’s investments are denominated declines relative to the U.S. dollar, the value of the Fund’s investments is expected to decline proportionately.  In addition, a portfolio that includes foreign securities can expect to have a higher expense ratio because of the increased transaction costs on non-U.S. securities markets and the increased costs of maintaining the custody of foreign securities.  The Fund may experience higher levels of each of these risks by investing in emerging (less developed) markets.  Further, geopolitical events may cause market disruptions. For example, the United Kingdom (UK) withdrew from the European Union (EU) on January 31, 2020, following a June 2016 referendum referred to as “Brexit.” There is significant market uncertainty regarding Brexit’s longer term ramifications, and the range of possible political, regulatory, economic and market outcomes are difficult to predict. The uncertainty surrounding the UK’s economy may continue to be a source of instability and cause considerable disruption in securities markets, including increased volatility and illiquidity, as well as currency fluctuations in the British pound’s exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. Russia’s assertion of influence in its surrounding region, including its invasion of Ukraine, increases the likelihood of additional sanctions by the U.S. and other countries, which may cause volatility in the markets. 
Short Selling, Options, and Futures Transactions.  The Fund may engage in short selling, options, and futures transactions to increase returns.  There is a risk that these transactions may reduce the Fund’s returns or increase volatility.  The Fund may incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the asset sold short increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which an offsetting position is purchased, plus any premiums or interest paid to the third party.  Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the extent of such loss, like the price of the asset sold short, is theoretically unlimited.  In addition, derivatives, such as options and futures, can be illiquid and highly sensitive to changes in their underlying security, interest rate or index, and as a result can be highly volatile. Derivatives also may be subject to certain other risks such as leverage risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, the risk that a counterparty may be unable or unwilling to honor its obligations, management risk and the risk of mispricing or improper valuation.  A small investment in certain derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. 
Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund focuses its investments, from time to time, in a particular sector, the Fund will be subject to a greater degree to the risks specific to that sector. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single sector, and therefore the Fund, to a greater extent than if the Fund’s investments were diversified across different sectors. 
Growth Securities Risk.  The Fund may invest in companies that the Investment Manager believes have growth potential. Securities of companies perceived to be “growth” companies may be more volatile than other securities and may involve special risks. If the Investment Manager’s perception of a company’s growth potential is not realized, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, thereby 
reducing the Fund’s returns. In addition, because different types of securities tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, “growth” securities may perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of securities. 
Small Capitalization.  The Fund may invest in companies that are small or thinly capitalized and may have a limited operating history.  Investments in small-cap companies may involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established issuers because they generally are more vulnerable to adverse business or economic developments than stocks of larger companies.  The securities of small capitalization companies generally are less liquid and have narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, and more limited markets for their stock as compared with larger companies.  As a result, the value of such securities may be more volatile than the securities of larger companies.  During broad market downturns, the Fund’s NAV may fall further than those of funds investing in larger companies.  Full development of small capitalization companies takes time, and for this reason, among others, the Fund should be considered a long term investment and not a vehicle for seeking short term profit. 
Medium and Large Capitalization.  Compared to small capitalization companies, medium and large capitalization companies may be less responsive to changes and opportunities.  At times, the stocks of large capitalization companies may lag other types of stocks in performance.  Compared to large capitalization companies, medium capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, and may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources. 
Pricing.  Many factors may influence the price at which the Fund could sell any particular portfolio investment. The sales price may well differ—higher or lower—from the Fund’s last valuation, and such differences could be significant, particularly for illiquid securities and securities that trade in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience extreme volatility. If market conditions make it difficult to value some investments, the Fund may value these investments using more subjective methods, such as fair value pricing.  In such cases, the value determined for an investment could be different than the value realized upon such investment’s sale.  As a result, you could pay more than the market value when buying Fund shares or receive less than the market value when selling Fund shares. 
Security Selection.  The securities selected for the Fund’s portfolio may decline in value.  The Investment Manager could be wrong in its analysis of industries, companies, economic trends, the relative attractiveness of different securities, or other matters.  As a result, the Fund may underperform the markets, its benchmark index or other funds with the same objective or in the same asset class. 
Active Trading.  The Fund may trade securities actively.  This strategy could increase transaction costs, reduce performance, and result in increased taxable distributions, which could lower the Fund’s after tax performance. 
Cybersecurity Risk. With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security, and related risks.  Cyber incidents affecting the Fund or its service providers may cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, impediments to trading, the inability of shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional related costs. 
Market Risk.  The market risks associated with investing in the Fund are those related to fluctuations in the value of the investments in the Fund’s portfolio.  A risk of investing in stocks and other instruments is that their value will go up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, reflecting overall economic conditions and other factors and you could lose money.  The Fund may invest in emerging companies, such as start-ups and spin-offs, and special situations, which include companies undergoing unusual or possibly one time developments such as reorganizations or liquidations.  These investments may involve above average market price volatility and greater risk of loss.  Certain unanticipated events, such as natural disasters, terrorism, war, and other geopolitical events, can have a dramatic adverse effect on the investments held by the Fund. 
Recent Market Events. U.S. and international markets have experienced volatility in recent months and years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, including rising inflation, the war between Russia and Ukraine and the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. Continuing market volatility as a result of recent market conditions or other events may have adverse effects on your account.
