This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell Institutional Shares of the Portfolio. You may pay brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries which are not reflected in the table and example below.

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock

The Portfolio 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 Portfolio shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. The Portfolio may actively trade portfolio securities to achieve its principal investment strategies. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 97% 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 Portfolio’s Institutional Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same, taking into account the fee waiver in the first year of each period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Using quantitative analysis, under normal market circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of foreign companies, directly and/or through American

Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). ADRs are depositary receipts issued in registered form by a U.S. bank or trust company evidencing ownership of underlying securities issued by foreign companies. Under normal market circumstances, the Portfolio will invest, directly and/or through ADRs in companies based in at least three countries other than the United States in primarily developed markets. The Advisor uses proprietary multi-factor computer models to select stocks and/or ADRs of foreign companies that the models identify as having reasonable prices, good fundamentals and rising earnings expectations. These computer models rank securities based on certain criteria, including valuation ratios, profitability and earnings-related measures, and material environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. The Portfolio may actively trade its securities to achieve its principal investment strategies.

Performance Narrative [Text Block] rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock

The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Portfolio has varied from year to year. The table shows how the Portfolio’s average annual total returns for one year, five years and ten years compare to those of selected market indices. The Portfolio’s past performance, before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future. Performance reflects expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers made in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. If such expense reimbursements or waivers were not in place, the Portfolio’s performance in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 would be reduced. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.glenmedeim.com or by calling 1-800-442-8299.

 

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Portfolio had not offered Institutional Shares to investors. The returns below represent the returns for Advisor Shares of the Portfolio, which are offered in a separate prospectus. Institutional Shares and Advisor Shares of the Portfolio should have returns that are substantially the same because they represent investments in the same portfolio of securities and differ only to the extent that they have different expenses.

After-tax returns for the Portfolio are calculated using the historical highest individual Federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Portfolio shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”).

Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Market Risk: Stocks may decline over short or even extended periods of time. Equity markets tend to be cyclical: there are times when stock prices generally increase, and other times when they generally decrease. In addition, the Portfolio is subject to the additional risk that the particular types of stocks held by the Portfolio will underperform other types of securities. Market risks, including political, regulatory, market, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Portfolio’s investments. Natural disasters, public health emergencies (including pandemics and epidemics such as COVID-19), war, military conflict, terrorism and other global unforeseeable events may lead to instability in world economies and markets, may lead to market volatility, and may have adverse long-term effects. The Portfolio cannot predict the effects of such unforeseeable events in the future on the economy, the markets or the Portfolio’s investments.

Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Frequent Trading Risk: A high rate of portfolio turnover involves correspondingly high transaction costs, which may adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance over time. High portfolio turnover may also result in the realization of short-term capital gains. Distributions derived from such gains will be treated as ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes.

Investment Style Risk: The Portfolio invests in securities with strong earnings growth prospects that the Advisor believes are reasonably priced. There is no guarantee that the prices of these securities will not move even lower.

Equity Portfolios - Institutional Shares | Disciplined International Equity Portfolio | ADR/Foreign Investment Risk [Member]  
Risk/Return: rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

ADR/Foreign Investment Risk: The Portfolio intends to invest in foreign securities directly and/or in the form of ADRs, which are depositary receipts issued in registered form by a U.S. bank or trust company evidencing ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign company and listed on a U.S. stock exchange. The Portfolio is subject to additional risks due to its foreign investments. Foreign stocks involve special risks not typically associated with U.S. stocks. Foreign investments may be riskier than U.S. investments because of factors such as foreign government restrictions, changes in currency exchange rates, incomplete financial information about the issuers of securities, and political or economic instability, including military hostilities and related sanctions that impact trade and commodity prices, such as the wars between Russia and the Ukraine that began in February 2022 and Hamas and Israel that began in October 2023. Foreign stocks may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. stocks. Investments in ADRs involve risks similar to those accompanying direct investments in foreign securities.

Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Value Style Risk: Although the Portfolio invests in stocks the Advisor believes to be reasonably priced, there is no guarantee that the prices of these stocks will not move even lower. In addition, the value investment style can shift into and out of favor with investors, depending on market and economic conditions. As a result, the Portfolio may at times outperform or underperform other funds that invest more broadly or employ a different investment style.

Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock

Tax Managed Risk: The Portfolio uses various investment methods in seeking to reduce the impact of Federal and state income taxes on shareholders’ returns. As a result, the Portfolio may defer the opportunity to realize gains.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to these waivers and/or reimbursements until at least May 5, 2026 and may discontinue this arrangement at any time thereafter.
