Portfolio Turnover [Heading] rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading Portfolio Turnover
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 144% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example [Heading] rr_ExpenseExampleHeading Example
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 assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. 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 The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investment grade tax-exempt obligations, such as municipal securities. The issuers of these securities may be located in any U.S. state, territory or possession. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities subject to the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund may also invest a portion of its net assets in certain taxable debt securities. 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 Fund's Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC ("Seix" or the "Subadviser"), tries to manage risk as much as possible. Based on the Subadviser's analysis of municipalities, credit risk, market trends and investment cycles, the Subadviser attempts to invest more of the Fund's assets in undervalued municipal securities and less in overvalued municipal securities taking into consideration maturity, sector, credit, state and supply and demand levels.

The Subadviser also attempts to identify and invest in municipal issuers with improving credit and avoid those with deteriorating credit. The Subadviser anticipates that the Fund's average-weighted maturity will range from 4 to 10 years but there is no limit on the maturities of individual securities. The Fund invests in securities rated investment grade by at least one national securities rating agency or unrated securities that the Subadviser believes are of comparable quality. The Subadviser may retain securities if the rating of the security falls below investment grade and the Subadviser deems retention of the security to be in the best interests of the Fund.
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.

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 or interest or will default. 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.

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.

Municipal Securities Risk: Municipal securities can be significantly affected by litigation, political or economic events, as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from specific projects or assets can be negatively affected by the inability of the issuer to collect revenues for the projects or from the assets.
