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 114% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expenses Not Correlated to Ratio Due to Acquired Fund Fees [Text] rr_ExpensesNotCorrelatedToRatioDueToAcquiredFundFees "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" reflect the Fund's pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by investing in other investment companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not used to calculate the Fund's net asset value per share ("NAV") and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund's prospectus.
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 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. These foreign companies may be located in emerging markets. The Fund’s investments in equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants and depository receipts.

The Fund’s investments in depository receipts may include American, European, Canadian and Global Depository Receipts (“ADRs”, “EDRs”, “CDRs” and “GDRs”, respectively). ADRs are receipts that represent interests in foreign securities held on deposit by U.S. banks. EDRs and GDRs have the same qualities as ADRs, except that they may be traded in several international trading markets.

In selecting investments for purchase and sale, WCM Investment Management (“WCM” or the “Subadviser”) uses a bottom-up approach that seeks to identify companies with attractive fundamentals, such as long-term growth in revenue and earnings, and that show a strong probability for superior future growth. The Subadviser’s investment process focuses on seeking companies that are industry leaders with sustainable competitive advantages; corporate cultures emphasizing strong, quality and experienced management; low or no debt; and attractive relative valuations. The Subadviser also considers other factors including political risk, monetary policy risk, and regulatory risk in selecting securities.

Although the Fund may invest in any size companies, it will generally invest in large capitalization established multinational companies. The Subadviser considers large capitalization companies to be those with market capitalization of $3.5 billion or greater at the time of investment. The Fund generally will invest in securities of companies located in different regions and in at least three different countries. However, from time to time, the Fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the securities of companies in one or a few countries or regions. Foreign companies that the Fund invests in may be located in emerging countries which are countries that the World Bank or the United Nations considers to be emerging or developing.
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.

Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets may be more likely to experience political turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than more developed countries. In addition, the financial stability of issuers (including governments) in emerging market countries may be more precarious than in other countries. As a result, there will tend to be an increased risk of price volatility associated with investments in emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar. Governments of some emerging market countries have defaulted on their bonds and may do so in the future.

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.

Foreign Companies and Securities Risk: Foreign securities and 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. Foreign securities also involve risks such as currency fluctuations and delays in enforcement of rights. All of these risks are increased for investments in emerging markets.

Growth Stock Risk: “Growth” stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. “Growth” stocks typically are sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations will not be met, the prices of growth stocks typically fall.

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.

Sector Weightings Risk: Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments may affect all the securities in a single sector. If the Fund invests in a few sectors it may have increased exposure to the price movements of those sectors.

Performance Table Uses Highest Federal Rate rr_PerformanceTableUsesHighestFederalRate After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual U.S. federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.
Performance Table Not Relevant to Tax Deferred rr_PerformanceTableNotRelevantToTaxDeferred Your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown.

Performance Table Explanation after Tax Higher rr_PerformanceTableExplanationAfterTaxHigher In some cases, average annual return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares is higher than the average annual return after taxes on distributions because of realized losses that would have been sustained upon the sale of fund shares immediately after the relevant periods.

In some cases, average annual return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares is higher than the average annual return after taxes on distributions because of realized losses that would have been sustained upon the sale of fund shares immediately after the relevant periods.  The calculations assume that an investor holds the shares in a taxable account, is in the actual historical highest individual federal marginal income tax bracket for each year and would have been able to immediately utilize the full realized loss to reduce his or her federal tax liability.  However, actual individual tax results may vary and investors should consult their tax advisers regarding their personal tax situations.
