Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock The Fund pays transaction costs, 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 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 88% of the average value of its portfolio.

Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of U.S. dollar denominated corporate obligations and other fixed income securities that are rated BBB-/Baa3 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service or Fitch Ratings or unrated securities that the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix” or the “Subadviser”), believes are of comparable quality. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in corporate bonds. The Fund may also invest in U.S. Treasury and agency obligations.

The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar denominated obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that are restricted as to resale.

The Fund will maintain an overall credit quality of A- or better. Securities downgraded below BBB-/Baa3 after purchase by all agencies that rate the securities can be retained so long as in the aggregate securities that are rated below BBB-/Baa3 do not constitute more than 10% of the Fund’s total net assets.

The Subadviser attempts to identify investment grade corporate bonds offering above average total return. In selecting corporate debt investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser seeks out companies with good fundamentals and above average return prospects that are currently priced at attractive levels. The primary basis for security selection is the potential income offered by the security relative to the Subadviser’s assessment of the issuer’s ability to generate the cash flow required to meet its obligations. The Subadviser employs a “bottom-up” approach, identifying investment opportunities based on the underlying financial and economic fundamentals of the specific issuer.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock You may lose money if you invest in the Fund. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Below Investment Grade Securities Risk: Securities that are rated below investment grade (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”, including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard and Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. or “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc.), or that are unrated but judged by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality, at the time of purchase, involve greater risk of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities. Below investment grade securities may also be less liquid than higher quality securities, and may cause income and principal losses for the Fund.

Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer’s financial condition and on the terms of the securities. Debt securities are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities.

Certain debt securities may be restricted securities, which are not registered with the SEC and thus may not be not be sold publicly until registration has been made. Therefore, there is the absence of a public market and there is limited investor information.

Foreign Companies Risk: Dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers involve special risks such as economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information and unfavorable political or legal developments.

U.S. Government-Related Risk: Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit, but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government agencies debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income market as a whole.
