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 52% 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.

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 common stocks and other equity securities of foreign companies. The Fund's investments are diversified among at least three foreign countries. The Fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). The Fund invests primarily in developed countries, but may invest in countries with emerging markets. In selecting investments for purchase and sale, Certium Asset Management LLC ("Certium" or the "Subadviser") seeks to identify stocks with positive earnings trends and attractive valuations. Fundamental analysis is used to determine those companies that are projected to have sustainability of earnings and global industry positioning. The Subadviser's goal is to find companies with top management, quality products and sound financial positions, or a history of consistent growth in cash flows, sales, operating profits, returns on equity and returns on invested capital. Risk controls are in place to assist in maintaining a portfolio that is diversified by security type and industry sector and invested across multiple countries.
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. 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. Exchange-Traded Fund Risk: ETFs, like mutual funds, have expenses associated with their operation, including advisory fees. When a Fund invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing expenses associated with its own operations, the Fund bears its pro rata portion of the ETF's expenses. The impact of these additional expenses, if any, would be shown as part of "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table. Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities, including depositary receipts such as American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), involve special risks such as currency fluctuations (with the exception of ADRs), economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information and unfavorable political or legal developments. These risks are increased for investments in emerging markets. The Fund is also subject to the risk that foreign common stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: Large-capitalization 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. Small-Capitalization Companies Risk: Small-capitalization stocks tend to perform differently from other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole, and can be more volatile than stocks of mid- or large-capitalization companies. Small-capitalization companies may be newer or less established, and may have limited resources, products and markets, and may be less liquid.
