|---|---|
| Equity Securities Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Equity Securities Risk. The Portfolio invests principally in equity securities and is therefore subject to the risk that stock prices will fall and may underperform other asset classes. Individual stock prices fluctuate from day-to-day and may decline significantly. |
| Value Investing Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Value Investing Risk. The subadviser’s judgment that a particular security is undervalued in relation to the company’s fundamental economic value may prove incorrect. |
| Small Cap Companies Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Small-Cap Companies Risk. Securities of small-cap companies are usually more volatile and entail greater risks than securities of large companies. |
| Convertible Securities Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Convertible Securities Risk. The values of the convertible securities in which the Portfolio may invest will be affected by market interest rates, the risk that the issuer may default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying common stock into which these securities may be converted. Specifically, certain types of convertible securities may pay fixed interest and dividends; their values may fall if market interest rates rise and rise if market interest rates fall. Additionally, an issuer may have the right to buy back or “call” certain of the convertible securities at a time unfavorable to the Portfolio. |
| Preferred Stock Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stockholders’ liquidation rights are subordinate to the company’s debt holders and creditors. If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive and the price of preferred stocks may decline. Deferred dividend payments by an issuer of preferred stock could have adverse tax consequences for the Portfolio and may cause the preferred stock to lose substantial value. |
| Foreign Investment Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Foreign Investment Risk. The Portfolio’s investments in the securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Portfolio invests may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the Portfolio’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability and other conditions or events (including, for example, military confrontations, war, terrorism, sanctions, disease/virus, outbreaks and epidemics). Lack of relevant data and reliable public information may also affect the value of these securities. |
| Sector or Industry Focus Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Sector or Industry Focus Risk. To the extent the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors or industries at a time, the Portfolio will face a greater risk of loss due to factors affecting sectors or industries than if the Portfolio always maintained wide diversity among the sectors and industries in which it invests. |
| Real Estate Industry Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Real Estate Industry Risk. These risks include declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, fluctuations in rental income, changes in neighborhood values, changes in the appeal of properties to tenants and increases in interest rates. If the Portfolio has rental income or income from the disposition of real property, the receipt of such income may adversely affect its ability to retain its tax status as a regulated investment company. In addition, REITs are dependent upon management skill, may not be diversified and are subject to project financing risks. Such trusts are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to maintain exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. REITs may be leveraged, which increases risk. |
| Issuer Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services. |
| Management Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Management Risk. The Portfolio is subject to management risk because it is an actively-managed investment portfolio. The Portfolio’s portfolio managers apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions or the individual securities selected by the portfolio managers will produce the desired results. |
| Market Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Market Risk. The Portfolio’s share price or the market as a whole can decline for many reasons or be adversely affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation: weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings; adverse social, political, regulatory or economic developments in the United States or abroad; changes in investor psychology; technological disruptions; heavy institutional selling; military confrontations, war, terrorism and other armed conflicts, trade wars and sanctions, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics; recessions; taxation and international tax treaties; currency, interest rate and price fluctuations; and other conditions or events. In addition, the subadviser’s assessment of securities held in the Portfolio may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance even in a rising market. |
| Affiliated Fund Rebalancing Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Affiliated Fund Rebalancing Risk. The Portfolio may be an investment option for other mutual funds for which SunAmerica serves as investment adviser that are managed as “funds of funds.” From time to time, the Portfolio may experience relatively large redemptions or investments due to the rebalancing of a fund of funds. In the event of such redemptions or investments, the Portfolio could be required to sell securities or to invest cash at a time when it is not advantageous to do so. |
| ESG Investment Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | ESG Investment Risk. The Portfolio’s adherence to its ESG criteria and application of related analyses when selecting investments may impact the Portfolio’s performance, including relative to similar funds that do not adhere to such criteria or apply such analyses. Additionally, the Portfolio’s adherence to its ESG criteria and application of related analyses in connection with identifying and selecting investments may require subjective analysis and may be more difficult if data about a particular company or market is limited, such as with respect to issuers in emerging markets countries. The Portfolio may invest in companies that do not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor. Socially responsible norms differ by country and region, and a company’s ESG practices or the subadviser’s assessment of such may change over time. ESG characteristics may not be the only factors considered in selecting investments and as a result, the Portfolio’s investments may not have favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings. |
| Risk Lose Money [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | If the value of the assets of the Portfolio goes down, you could lose money. |
| Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Shares of the Portfolio are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured by any bank, government entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. |
