|---|---|
| Bonds Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Bonds Risk. The value of your investment in the Portfolio may go up or down in response to changes in interest rates or defaults (or even the potential for future defaults) by bond issuers. Fixed income securities may be subject to volatility due to changes in interest rates. |
| Credit Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Credit Risk. Credit risk applies to most fixed income securities, but is generally not a factor for obligations backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government. The Portfolio could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable or perceived to be unable to pay interest or to repay principal when it becomes due. An issuer with a lower credit rating will be more likely than a higher rated issuer to default or otherwise become unable to honor its financial obligations. Issuers with low credit ratings typically issue junk bonds. In addition to the risk of default, junk bonds may be more volatile, less liquid, more difficult to value and more susceptible to adverse economic conditions or investor perceptions than other bonds. |
| Interest Rate Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Interest Rate Risk. Fixed income securities may be subject to volatility due to changes in interest rates. The value of fixed-income securities may decline when interest rates go up or increase when interest rates go down. The interest earned on fixed-income securities may decline when interest rates go down or increase when interest rates go up. Duration is a measure of interest rate risk that indicates how price-sensitive a bond is to changes in interest rates. Longer-term and lower coupon bonds tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, a bond with a duration of three years will decrease in value by approximately 3% if interest rates increase by 1%. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility, and could negatively impact the Portfolio’s performance. Any future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments are likely to affect the level of interest rates. |
| US Government Obligations Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government and generally have negligible credit risk. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. |
| Failure to Match Index Performance Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Failure to Match Index Performance Risk. The ability of the Portfolio to match the performance of the Index may be affected by, among other things, changes in securities markets, the manner in which performance of the Index is calculated, changes in the composition of the Index, the amount and timing of cash flows into and out of the Portfolio, commissions, portfolio expenses, and any differences in the pricing of securities by the Portfolio and the Index. When the Portfolio employs an “optimization” strategy, the Portfolio is subject to an increased risk of tracking error, in that the securities selected in the aggregate for the Portfolio may perform differently than the underlying index. |
| Management Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Management Risk. The Portfolio is subject to management risk. 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. |
| Passively Managed Strategy Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | “Passively Managed” Strategy Risk. The Portfolio will not deviate from its strategy, except to the extent necessary to comply with federal tax laws. If the Portfolio’s strategy is unsuccessful, the Portfolio will not meet its investment goal. Because the Portfolio will not use certain techniques available to other mutual funds to reduce stock market exposure, the Portfolio may be more susceptible to general market declines than other funds. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Derivatives Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Derivatives Risk. A derivative is any financial instrument whose value is based on, and determined by, another security, index, rate, currency or benchmark (i.e., stock options, futures, caps, floors, etc.). To the extent a derivative contract is used to hedge another position in the Portfolio, the Portfolio will be exposed to the risks associated with hedging described below. To the extent an option, futures contract, swap, or other derivative is used to enhance return, rather than as a hedge, the Portfolio will be directly exposed to the risks of the contract. Unfavorable changes in the value of the underlying security, index, rate or benchmark may cause sudden losses. Gains or losses from the Portfolio’s use of derivatives may be substantially greater than the amount of the Portfolio’s investment. Certain derivatives have the potential for undefined loss. Derivatives are also associated with various other risks, including market risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, counterparty risk, valuation risk, regulatory risk, illiquidity risk and interest rate fluctuations risk. The primary risks associated with the Portfolio’s use of derivatives are market risk, counterparty risk and hedging risk. |
| ETF Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | ETF Risk. Most ETFs are investment companies whose shares are purchased and sold on a securities exchange. An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange-traded) that has the same investment objectives, strategies and policies. However, ETFs are subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds: (i) the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or a discount to its net asset value; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; and (iii) there is no assurance that the requirements of the exchange necessary to maintain the listing of an ETF will continue to be met or remain unchanged. In addition, a passively-managed ETF may fail to accurately track the market segment or index that underlies its investment objective. To the extent that the Portfolio invests in an ETF, the Portfolio will indirectly bear its proportionate share of the management and other expenses that are charged by the ETF in addition to the expenses paid by the Portfolio. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
