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 0% 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 [Heading] | rr_StrategyHeading | Principal Investment Strategies | ||||||||
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | Under normal market circumstances, the Portfolio uses option writing strategies in an effort to obtain option premiums and reduce risk. The Portfolio will implement buy-write (covered call) and/or cash-secured put option strategies on U.S. or foreign stock index exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), U.S. or foreign stock indices and/or individual U.S. or foreign stocks held by the Portfolio. Covered call and cash-secured put options are intended to reduce volatility, earn option premiums and provide more stable returns. Selling call options reduces the risk of owning stocks by the receipt of the option premiums and selling put options reduces the purchase price of the underlying stock, but both strategies limit the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of the underlying security in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call or put option. Under normal market circumstances, at least 80% of the value of the Portfolio’s net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) will be subject to secured option strategies, which are written covered call and/or secured put options. Under normal market circumstances, the Portfolio will write covered call and/or secured put options on U.S. or foreign stock index ETFs, U.S. or foreign stock indices and/or individual U.S. or foreign stocks in at least three different countries, other than the United States, and will invest at least 40% of its net assets outside of the U.S. The Portfolio is called Global “Secured Options” because the call and put options it writes will be covered by owning the U.S. or foreign security, index or ETFs underlying the option, holding an offsetting option, segregating cash or other liquid assets at not less than the full value of the option or the exercise price, and/or using other permitted coverage methods. At any given time, the Portfolio’s assets may be subject to only calls or only puts, or a combination of both strategies. To the extent that the Portfolio’s assets are only subject to puts, the assets will consist of cash or cash equivalents in order to secure the puts. In that event, there may be few if any stocks or other securities held by the Portfolio. To the extent that the Portfolio’s assets are only subject to covered calls on a stock index, the Portfolio may hold stock index ETFs instead of individual U.S. or foreign stocks that replicate the movement of the applicable index, in addition to the other permitted coverage methods. To the extent that the Portfolio’s assets are not only subject to cash-secured puts or calls on stock index covered by stock index ETFs, the Portfolio intends to invest in a diversified portfolio of U.S. or foreign equity securities of companies based in at least three different countries, other than the United States, with generally similar risk and return characteristics as the MSCI All Country World Index (“MSCI ACWI Index”). The Portfolio may invest in companies with small, medium or large market capitalizations in developed, developing or emerging markets in advancement of its investment objective. The Portfolio intends to invest in foreign securities in the form of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) which are securities issued by a U.S. bank that represent interests in foreign equity securities listed on a U.S. stock exchange. The Portfolio may also buy call and put options on U.S. or foreign stock index ETFs, U.S. or foreign stock indices or individual U.S. or foreign stocks. The Advisor’s selection of securities to buy or sell is based on a combination of proprietary multifactor computer models and fundamental analysis. The computer models rank securities based on certain criteria, such as valuation ratios, and other models focus on risk analysis and overall portfolio characteristics. The Advisor buys securities that the models identify as undervalued and more likely to appreciate, and sells securities that the Advisor identifies as overvalued and more likely to depreciate. The Portfolio may actively trade its securities to achieve its principal investment strategies. |

Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] | rr_BarChartAndPerformanceTableHeading | Performance Information | ||||||||
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 2019 and 2020. If such expense reimbursements or waivers were not in place, the Portfolio’s performance in 2019 and 2020 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. |

Equity Portfolios - Institutional Shares | Global Secured Options Portfolio | Market Risk [Member] | ||||||||||
Risk/Return: | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||
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. |
||||||||
Equity Portfolios - Institutional Shares | Global Secured Options Portfolio | Options Risk [Member] | ||||||||||
Risk/Return: | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||
Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Options Risk: Writing and purchasing call and put options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. The successful use of options depends in part on the future price fluctuations and the degree of correlation between the options and the securities markets. The value of the Portfolio’s positions in options fluctuates in response to changes in the value of the underlying security, index, or stock index ETF, as applicable. The Portfolio also risks losing all or part of the cash paid for purchasing call and put options. Unusual market conditions or the lack of a ready market for any particular option at a specific time may reduce the effectiveness of the Portfolio’s option strategies, and for these and other reasons the Portfolio’s option strategies may not reduce the Portfolio’s volatility to the extent desired. The Portfolio may reduce its holdings of put options resulting in an increased exposure to a market decline. |
||||||||
Equity Portfolios - Institutional Shares | Global Secured Options Portfolio | Frequent Trading Risk [Member] | ||||||||||
Risk/Return: | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||
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. |
||||||||
Equity Portfolios - Institutional Shares | Global Secured Options 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 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. Investments in ADRs involve risks similar to those accompanying direct investments in foreign securities. 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. |
||||||||
Equity Portfolios - Institutional Shares | Global Secured Options Portfolio | Emerging Markets Risk [Member] | ||||||||||
Risk/Return: | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||
Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Emerging Markets Risk: The risks associated with foreign investments are heightened when investing in emerging markets. The governments and economies of emerging market countries feature greater instability than those of more developed countries. Such investments tend to fluctuate in price more widely and to be less liquid than other foreign investments. |
||||||||
Equity Portfolios - Institutional Shares | Global Secured Options Portfolio | Exchange-Traded Funds [Member] | ||||||||||
Risk/Return: | rr_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||||||
Risk [Text Block] | rr_RiskTextBlock | Exchange-Traded Funds: The Portfolio intends to invest in ETFs that seek to track the performance of foreign securities indices. Shares of ETFs have many of the same risks as direct investments in the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity may make ETFs more volatile. ETFs have investment management fees and other expenses which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. The existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for an ETF’s shares could result in such shares trading at a significant premium or discount to net asset value. |
