Equity Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Equity Risk. Equity securities, which include common stocks, may decline in value because of changes in the price of a particular holding or a broad stock market decline. Common stock ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the company in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer of a security or broader economic or market events including changes in interest rates. |
Market Events Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Market Events Risk. Disruptive events with geopolitical consequences, including pandemics, may destabilize various countries’ economies and markets, which may experience increased volatility and reduced liquidity. Policy changes by the Federal Reserve and/or other government actors could similarly cause increased volatility in financial markets. Trade barriers and other protectionist trade policies (including those in the U.S.) may also result in market turbulence. Market volatility and reductions in market liquidity may negatively affect issuers worldwide, including issuers in which the Fund invests. Under such circumstances, the Fund may have difficulty liquidating portfolio holdings, particularly at favorable prices. To the extent that the Fund experiences higher levels of redemptions, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio holdings, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV. |
Financials Sector Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Financials Sector Risk. Performance of companies in the financials sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates, and decreased liquidity in credit markets. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, recent or future regulation of any individual financial company, or recent or future regulation of the financials sector as a whole cannot be predicted. |
Value Investment Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Value Investment Risk. The Fund’s investments in value securities are subject to the risk that they may remain undervalued for extended periods of time or never realize their full value. Different investment styles may shift in and out of favor, depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The Fund’s value approach could cause it to underperform funds that use a growth or non-value approach to investing or have a broader investment style. |
Large Capitalization Company Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Large Capitalization Company Risk. The Fund’s investments in large capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion. |
Small and Mid-Sized Capitalization Company Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Small and Mid-Sized Capitalization Company Risk. Investments in small and mid-sized capitalization companies may be less liquid, and the prices of such securities may fluctuate more than those of larger, more established companies. These factors could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to sell such securities at a desirable time and price. |
Liquidity Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Liquidity Risk. The Fund may not be able to dispose of restricted, thinly traded and/or illiquid instruments at an appropriate time or at a reasonable price, which may result in a loss to the Fund. Liquidity can decline unpredictably and investments that are illiquid are typically more difficult to value than investments with more active markets. |
Management Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed, and its performance will reflect the Adviser’s ability to make investment decisions that are suited to achieving the Fund’s investment objective. |
Foreign Investments Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Foreign Investments Risk. The value of foreign investments may be affected by risks in addition to those affecting domestic investments, including the imposition of new, amended or limited government regulations, changes in diplomatic relations between the U.S. and another country, political and economic instability, less favorable economic conditions, the imposition or tightening of exchange controls, trade barriers and other protectionist trade policies (including those in the U.S.), other limitations on repatriation of foreign capital or nationalization and/or increased taxation or confiscation of investors’ assets. Investments in securities of foreign issuers are subject to fluctuations in the value of the issuer’s local currency relative to the U.S dollar and may be subject to foreign withholding and other taxes. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Cash and Cash Equivalents Risk. When investing in cash and cash equivalents, the Fund risks achieving lower returns and potential lost opportunities to participate in market appreciation, which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and ability to achieve its investment objective. This is particularly true when the market for other investments in which the Fund may invest is rapidly rising. |
Convertible Securities Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Convertible Securities Risk. Investments in convertible securities entail some of the risks of both equity and debt securities. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with the fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities or any changes in the issuer’s credit rating. Convertible securities are subject to the risk that the credit rating of the issuer may have an effect on the value of the convertible securities. |
Fixed-Income Securities Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Fixed-Income Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in fixed-income (debt) securities, which are generally subject to the following risks:
Credit Risk. The financial condition of an issuer of a fixed-income security may cause the issuer to default. A decline in an issuer’s credit rating may cause a decrease in the value of the security and an increase in investment risk and price volatility.
Interest Rate Risk. An increase in interest rates typically causes a decrease in the value of fixed-income securities in which the Fund may invest. Fixed-income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile than fixed-income securities with shorter durations. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to changes in monetary policy.
Prepayment Risk. Prepayment of fixed-income securities, which is more common when interest rates are declining, may shorten such securities’ maturity, reduce the Fund’s return and cause the Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities.
Variable and Floating Interest Rate Risk. Variable and floating rate securities may produce a leveraging effect or provide interest payments that vary inversely with market rates. Variable and floating rate securities may decline in value if interest rates in general or interest rates paid by them do not move as expected. Floating and variable rate securities may be called or redeemed by the issuer prior to maturity, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate. The Fund may suffer a loss if there is no active secondary market for any particular floating or variable rate security. |
Preferred Stock Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock is a class of a capital stock that typically pays dividends at a specified rate. Preferred stock is generally senior to common stock, but subordinate to debt securities, with respect to the payment of dividends and on liquidation of the issuer. The market value of preferred stock generally decreases when interest rates rise and is also affected by the issuer’s ability to make payments on the preferred stock. |
Registered Investment Company Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] | Registered Investment Company Risk. The risks of investing in these securities typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the investment companies invest. By investing in another investment company, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company and bears its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company. |
High-Yield Securities Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] | High-Yield Securities Risk. Investments in “high-yield securities” or “junk bonds” are inherently speculative and have a greater risk of default than investments in investment-grade fixed-income securities. If an issuer defaults, a below investment-grade security could lose all of its value, be renegotiated at a lower interest rate or principal amount or become illiquid. Below investment-grade securities may be less liquid and more volatile than investment-grade fixed-income securities and may be more difficult to value or sell. |
Business Development Company Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Business Development Company Risk. BDCs are closed-end investment companies that have elected to register as BDCs. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the BDC when the fund invests in shares of the BDC. BDCs primarily invest in privately-held and small and mid-size capitalization public companies, and are generally considered to be non-rated or below investment grade. The fair values of these investments often are not readily determinable. This could cause the Fund’s investments in a BDC to be inaccurately valued, including overvalued. BDC revenues, income (or losses) and valuations can, and often do, fluctuate suddenly and dramatically, and they face considerable risk of loss. In addition, BDCs often borrow funds to make investments and, as a result, are exposed to the risks of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential loss on amounts invested and therefore increases the risks associated with an investment in a BDC’s securities. |
Sector Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Sector Risk. The Fund may invest a higher percentage of its total assets in one or more sectors. Developments affecting those sectors should be expected to impact the Fund more than a fund that is more broadly diversified and/or is not weighted in those sectors. |
Healthcare Sector Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Healthcare Sector Risk. The profitability of companies in the healthcare sector may be affected by government regulations changing costs of medical products and services, limited product lines, and product liability claims, among other things. Many healthcare companies are heavily dependent on patent protection, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of a company’s patent may adversely affect that company’s profitability. Healthcare companies may be thinly capitalized and susceptible to product obsolescence. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, which may be time consuming and costly and with no guarantee that the product will come to market. |
Industrials Sector Risk | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector includes, for example, aerospace and defense, non-residential construction, engineering, machinery, transportation, and commercial and professional services companies. This sector can be significantly affected by, among other things, business cycle fluctuations, worldwide economy growth, government and corporate spending, supply and demand for specific products and manufacturing, and government regulation. |
Risk Lose Money [Member] | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] | You could lose money on your investment in the Fund, and the Fund could underperform other investments. |
Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member] | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] | An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. |
Risk Nondiversified Status [Member] | |
Prospectus [Line Items] | |
Risk [Text Block] |
Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is non-diversified. Investment by the Fund in securities of a limited number of issuers may expose it to greater market risk and potential monetary losses than if its assets were diversified among the securities of a greater number of issuers. |
