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 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 78% of the average value of its portfolio.

The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same and that you reinvest all dividends and distributions. The example reflects contractual fee waivers and reimbursements for the first year only. 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 at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S.-traded equity securities of large-capitalization companies. U.S.-traded equity securities may include American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). Ceredex Value Advisors LLC ("Ceredex" or the "Subadviser") considers large-capitalization companies to be companies with market capitalizations similar to those of companies in the Russell 1000® Value Index. As of July 1, 2013, the market capitalization range of companies in the Russell 1000® Value Index was between approximately $487.23 million and $401.7 billion. As a result of its investment strategy, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate may be 100% or more. In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser chooses companies that it believes are undervalued in the market relative to the industry sector and the company's own valuation history. The Subadviser evaluates potential catalysts that may cause an upward re-rating of the stock's valuation. Additionally, the common stocks purchased for the Fund generally pay dividends at the time of purchase or are expected to pay dividends soon after their purchase.
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. ADR Risk: Investments in ADRs involve risks similar to those accompanying direct investments in foreign securities. These include the risk that political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. Equity Securities Risk: The price of equity securities fluctuates from time to time based on changes in a company's financial condition or overall market and economic conditions. As a result, the value of the Fund's equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Frequent Trading Risk: Frequent buying and selling of investments may involve higher trading costs and other expenses and may affect the Fund's performance over time. High rates of portfolio turnover may result in the realization of short-term capital gains and losses. The payment of taxes on these gains could adversely affect your after tax return on your investment in the Fund. Any distributions resulting from such gains or losses may be considered ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: Large-cap stocks can perform differently from other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Large-capitalization companies may be less flexible in evolving markets or unable to implement change as quickly as small-capitalization companies. Value Investing Risk: "Value" investing attempts to identify strong companies whose stocks are selling at a discount from their perceived true worth. It is subject to the risk that the stocks' intrinsic values may never be fully recognized or realized by the market, their prices may go down, or that stocks judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced.

Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Text]	rr_RiskNotInsuredDepositoryInstitution	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.
