Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE
Performance Narrative [Text Block]
The following tables provide information on the Fund’s volatility and performance. The Fund’s past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. The bar chart below is intended to provide you with an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class S shares.
The table below compares the Fund’s performance over different time periods to that of a broad-based securities market index and a more narrowly-based index that reflects the market sectors in which the Fund invests (each, an “Index”). After‑tax returns are calculated using 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 an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After‑tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax‑deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After‑tax returns are shown for Class S shares only. After‑tax returns for Class Y shares will differ. 
The performance information reflects Fund expenses, and assumes that all distributions have been reinvested. Each Index is an unmanaged index, has no expenses, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index. Updated performance information is available at www.sitfunds. com or by calling 800‑332‑5580.
