New and Smaller Sized Fund Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
New and Smaller Sized Fund Risk. The Fund is relatively new and has a limited operating history for investors to evaluate and may not be successful in implementing its investment strategies. The Fund may fail to attract sufficient assets to achieve or maintain economies of scale, which could result in the Fund being liquidated at any time without shareholder approval and at a time that may not be favorable for all shareholders. Smaller ETFs will have a lower public float and lower trading volumes, leading to wider bid/ask spreads.

 

Investment Adviser Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Investment Adviser Risk. The Fund is actively managed and the success of its investment strategy depends significantly on the skills of Thornburg in assessing the potential of the investments in which the Fund invests. This assessment of investments may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in rising markets. There is also no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to effectively implement the Fund’s investment objective.

 

ETF Structure Risks [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
ETF Structure Risks. The Fund is structured as an ETF and is subject to risks related to exchange trading, including:

 

-The Fund’s shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and are bought and sold on the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Fund shares will typically approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price reflects a significant premium or discount to NAV.

 

-Although the Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange, it is possible that an active trading market in the Fund’s shares may not be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the market for the Fund’s shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which could lead to wider bid/ask spreads and differences in the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares.

 

-The Fund could potentially face trading halts and/or delisting from the Exchange. This risk is heightened in times of market stress, including at both the Fund share level and at the Fund holdings level.

 

-Only an authorized participant (an “Authorized Participant”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund, and none of those Authorized Participants is obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants). In addition, to the extent that securities held by the Fund are traded outside a collateralized settlement system, Authorized Participants may be required to post collateral on certain trades on an agency basis (on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of Authorized Participants may be able to do. To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, Fund shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts or delisting.

 

Equity Risk [Member]

Equity Risk. The value of the Fund’s equity investments may fluctuate significantly over time in response to factors affecting individual issuers, particular industries, or the market as a whole. Additionally, common stock ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of a company in a liquidation or bankruptcy.

 

Options Strategy Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Options Strategy Risk. The Fund’s use of call and put options involves speculation and can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying stock, index, or other asset, which may be magnified by certain features of the options. The Fund’s successful use of options depends on the ability of the Adviser to forecast market movements correctly. For example, if the Fund were to write (sell) a call option on an index or security based on the Adviser’s expectation that the price of an index or security would fall, but the price were to rise instead, the Fund could be required to sell the underlying asset upon exercise at a price below the current market price. Alternatively, if the Fund were to write (sell) a put option on an index or security, the Fund assumes the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline below the exercise price of the put option. When selling a call or put option, the Fund will receive a premium; however, this premium may not be enough to offset a loss incurred by the Fund if the price of the underlying asset is, in the case of a call option, above or, in the case of a put option, below the strike price by an amount equal to or greater than the premium. As the writer of a call option, the Fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the underlying security or instrument covering the option above the sum of the premium and the exercise price, but retains the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security or instrument decline. The value of an option may be adversely affected if the market for the option becomes less liquid or smaller, and will be affected by changes in the value or yield of the option’s underlying asset, an increase in interest rates, a change in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market or the underlying asset and the remaining time to expiration. Additionally, the value of an option does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the underlying asset(s). In addition, if the price of the underlying asset of an option is above the strike price of a written call, or below the strike price of a written put, the value of the option, and consequently of the Fund, may decline significantly more than if the Fund invested directly in the underlying asset instead of using options. The Fund could experience a loss if its options do not perform as anticipated, or are not correlated with the performance of their underlying asset or if the Fund is unable to purchase or liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market.

 

Foreign Investment Risk [Member]

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in securities of foreign issuers may involve risks including adverse fluctuations in currency exchange rates, political instability, confiscations, taxes or restrictions on currency exchange, difficulty in selling foreign investments, and reduced legal protection. In addition, some foreign government debt obligations may be subject to default, delays in payment, adverse legislation or government action, or could be downgraded by ratings agencies.
Foreign Currency Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

 

Foreign Currency Risk. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can adversely affect the value of the Fund's foreign investments. Such fluctuations may occur for a number of reasons, including market and economic conditions, or a government's decision to devalue its currency or impose currency controls. Thornburg may seek to hedge foreign currency risks, but its hedging strategies may not be successful, or its judgments not to use hedging strategies may not correctly anticipate actual conditions and result in loss or higher costs to the Fund. Furthermore, any hedging strategy that Thornburg pursues, such as the use of currency forward contracts, may involve additional risks. Foreign investments, even if denominated in U.S. dollars, may be affected significantly by fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies, and the value of these securities in U.S. dollars may decline even if the securities increase in value in their home country.

 

Emerging Markets Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Emerging Markets Risk. The risks which may affect investments in foreign issuers may be more pronounced for investments in emerging markets, also known as developing countries, because the economies of those markets are usually less diversified; communications, transportation and economic infrastructures are less developed; and emerging markets ordinarily have less established legal, political, business and social frameworks. At times the prices of equity securities or debt obligations of an issuer in an emerging market may be extremely volatile. An issuer in a developed country may be similarly affected by these emerging markets risks to the extent that the issuer conducts its business in emerging markets.

 

Risks of Investing in Depositary Receipts [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Risks of Investing in Depositary Receipts. An investment in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”) or Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) is an alternative to the purchase of the underlying securities in their national markets and/or currencies. However, ADRs, EDRs, and GDRs remain subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including the political and economic risks associated with the underlying issuer’s country. Certain countries may limit the ability to convert a depositary receipt into the underlying foreign security and vice versa, which may cause the securities of the foreign company to trade at a discount or premium to the market price of the related depositary receipts. Moreover, EDRs and GDRs can involve currency risk since, unlike ADRs, they may not be U.S. dollar denominated.

 

Real Estate Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Real Estate Risk. The Fund’s investments in publicly traded REITs are subject to risks affecting real estate investments generally (including market conditions, competition, property obsolescence, changes in interest rates and casualty to real estate), as well as risks specifically affecting REITs (the quality and skill of REIT management and the internal expenses of the REIT).

 

Derivatives Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Derivatives Risk. The Fund’s investments in options and other derivative instruments involve the risks associated with the securities or other assets underlying those derivatives as well as risks different and/or greater than the risks affecting the underlying assets, including the inability or unwillingness of the other party to a derivative to perform its obligations to the Fund, the Fund’s inability or delays in selling or closing positions in derivatives and difficulties in valuing derivatives.

 

Focused Investment Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Focused Investment Risk. A fund that invests a substantial portion of its assets in a particular market, industry, sector, group of industries or sectors, country, region, group of countries, limited number of issuers or asset class is, relative to a fund that invests in a more diverse investment portfolio, more susceptible to any single economic, market, political, regulatory or other occurrence. This is because, for example, issuers in a particular market, industry, region, sector or asset class may react similarly to specific economic, market, regulatory, political or other developments. The particular markets, industries, regions, sectors or asset classes in which the Fund may focus its investments may change over time and the Fund may alter its focus at inopportune times.

 

Equity-Linked Notes Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Equity-Linked Notes Risk. When the Fund invests in ELNs, it receives cash but limits its opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of the instrument because of the limits relating to the call options written within the particular ELN. Investing in ELNs may be more costly to the Fund than if the Fund had invested in the underlying instruments directly. Investments in ELNs often have risks similar to the underlying instruments, which include market risk. In addition, since ELNs are in note form, ELNs are subject to certain debt securities risks, such as credit or counterparty risk. Should the prices of the underlying instruments move in an unexpected manner, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of an investment in an ELN, and may realize losses, which could be significant and could include the Fund’s entire principal investment. Investments in ELNs are also subject to liquidity risk, which may make ELNs difficult to sell and value. A lack of liquidity may also cause the value of the ELN to decline. In addition, ELNs may exhibit price behavior that does not correlate with the underlying securities. The Fund’s ELN investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s ELN investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality.

 

Risks Affecting Convertible Debt Obligations [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Risks Affecting Convertible Debt Obligations. The market value of a convertible debt obligation may vary with changes in prevailing interest rates and changing evaluations of the ability of the issuer to meet principal and interest payments. The market value of a convertible debt obligation may also vary in accordance with the market value of the underlying stock. As a result, convertible debt obligations held by the Fund will tend to perform more like equity securities when the underlying stock price is high (because it is assumed that the Fund will convert the obligation), and more like non-convertible debt obligations when the underlying stock price is low (because it is assumed that the Fund will not convert the obligation). Because its market value can be influenced by several factors, a convertible debt obligation will not be as sensitive to interest rate changes as a similar non-convertible debt obligation, and generally will have less potential for gain or loss than the underlying stock.

 

Risks of Investing in U.S. Government Obligations [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Risks of Investing in U.S. Government Obligations. U.S. government obligations are subject to the same risks affecting other debt obligations. Although securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government are commonly regarded as having relatively less risk of default, it is possible that the U.S. government may be unwilling or unable to repay principal and interest when due, and may require that the terms for payment be renegotiated. Further obligations that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government remain subject to the other general risks applicable to debt obligations, such as market risks, liquidity risks, and interest rate risks, and may be subject to ratings downgrades. U.S. government obligations also include obligations of U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities, and government-sponsored enterprises, commonly referred to as “agency obligations.” Some agency obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, but other agency obligations have no specific backing or only limited support from the agency’s authority to borrow from the U.S. government or the discretionary authority of the Treasury to purchase obligations of the issuing agency.

 

Risks of Debt Issued by Foreign Governments [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Risks of Debt Issued by Foreign Governments. Debt obligations may be issued by foreign governments and their agencies and instrumentalities, including the governments of developing countries and “supra-national” entities such as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The Fund’s investments in these foreign debt obligations may be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies. These securities, even if denominated in U.S. dollars, may be affected significantly by fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies, and the value of these securities in U.S. dollars may decline even if the securities increase in value in their home country. The governmental issuers of these debt obligations may be less willing or able than the U.S. to repay principal and interest when due, and may require that the terms for payment be renegotiated. In some countries there may be political instability or insufficient government supervision of markets, and the legal protections for the Fund’s investments could be subject to unfavorable judicial or administrative changes. These risks may be more pronounced for the Fund’s investments in debt obligations issued by developing countries.

 

Credit Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Credit Risk. If obligations held by the Fund are downgraded by ratings agencies or go into default, or if management action, legislation or other government action reduces the ability of issuers to pay principal and interest when due, the value of those obligations and the Fund’s investment may decline. Because the ability of an issuer of a lower-rated or unrated obligation to pay principal and interest when due is typically less certain than for an issuer of a higher-rated obligation, lower-rated and unrated obligations are generally more vulnerable than higher-rated obligations to default, ratings downgrades and liquidity risk. Debt obligations backed by so-called “subprime” mortgages may also be subject to a greater risk of default or downgrade. Debt obligations issued by the U.S. government or its agencies, instrumentalities and government sponsored enterprises are also subject to credit risk. Securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as U.S. Treasury obligations, are commonly regarded as having small exposure to credit risk. Obligations of certain U.S. agencies, instrumentalities and enterprises (sometimes referred to as “agency obligations”) are not direct obligations of the U.S. government, may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and may have a greater exposure to credit risk.

 

High Yield Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
High Yield Risk. Debt obligations that are rated below investment grade and unrated obligations of similar credit quality (commonly referred to as “junk” or “high yield” bonds) may have a substantial risk of loss. These obligations are generally considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due. These obligations may be subject to greater price volatility than investment grade obligations, and their prices may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty or in response to adverse publicity, changes in investor perceptions or other factors. These obligations may also be subject to greater liquidity risk.

 

Interest Rate Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Interest Rate Risk. When interest rates increase, the value of the Fund’s investments may decline and the Fund’s share value may be reduced. This effect is typically more pronounced for intermediate and longer-term obligations. This effect is also typically more pronounced for mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, the value of which may fluctuate more significantly in response to interest rate changes. When interest rates decrease, the Fund’s dividends may decline.

 

Prepayment and Extension Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Prepayment and Extension Risk. When market interest rates decline, certain debt obligations held by the Fund may be repaid more quickly than anticipated, requiring the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of those repayments in obligations which bear a lower interest rate. Conversely, when market interest rates increase, certain debt obligations held by the Fund may be repaid more slowly than anticipated, causing assets of the Fund to remain invested in relatively lower yielding obligations. These risks may be more pronounced for the Fund’s investments in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.

 

Risks Affecting Mortgage-Backed Securities and Other Asset-Backed Securities [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Risks Affecting Mortgage-Backed Securities and Other Asset-Backed Securities. Mortgage-backed securities are debt obligations, and are subject to the risks that affect debt obligations generally and which may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities held by the Fund, including credit risk, interest rate risk, market and liquidity risks, prepayment risk and extension, and management risk. Because mortgage-backed securities represent interests in underlying mortgages, mortgage-backed securities are subject to the risks associated with those underlying mortgages, including delays or defaults in payments on those mortgages. During periods of declining interest rates, more mortgagors can be expected to prepay the remaining principal on their mortgages before the mortgages’ scheduled maturity dates, reducing the value of mortgage-backed securities held by the Fund, and lowering the Fund’s yield as it reinvests the prepayment proceeds at the lower prevailing interest rates. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the rate of prepayment on the underlying mortgages can be expected to slow, and the Fund will not have those additional prepayment proceeds to invest in other securities at the higher prevailing interest rates. As with mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities are subject to the risks affecting debt obligations generally and which may adversely affect the value of asset-backed securities, held by the Fund, including credit risk, interest rate risk, market and liquidity risks, prepayment and extension risk, and management risk. These securities are subject to the risk of default by the issuer of the security and by the borrowers of the underlying loans in the pool. As with mortgage-backed securities, the market value and expected yield of asset-backed securities will vary in response to changes in prevailing interest rates and the rate of prepayment on the underlying loans.

 

Business Development Company ("BDC") Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Business Development Company (“BDC”) Risk. While the BDCs in which the Fund may invest are expected to include those that generate income in the form of dividends, certain BDCs during certain periods of time may not generate dividend income. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management fees and other operating expenses incurred by the BDCs and of any performance-based or incentive fees payable by the BDCs in which it invests, in addition to the Fund’s management fee and any other expenses paid by the Fund. A BDC’s incentive fee may be very high, vary from year to year and be payable even if the value of the BDC’s portfolio declines in a given time period. The use of leverage by BDCs magnifies gains and losses on amounts invested and increases the risks associated with investing in BDCs. A BDC may make investments with a larger amount of risk of volatility and loss of principal than other investment options and may also be highly speculative and aggressive. Certain BDCs (or their underlying holdings) may also be difficult to value since many of the assets of BDCs do not have readily ascertainable market values. Therefore, such assets are most often recorded at fair value in accordance with valuation procedures adopted by such companies, which may potentially result in material differences between a BDC’s net asset value per share and its market value.

 

Market and Economic Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Market and Economic Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments may decline and its share value may be reduced due to changes in general economic and market conditions. The value of a security may change in response to developments affecting entire economies, markets or industries, including changes in interest rates, political, legal, and technological developments, and general market volatility.

 

Risks Affecting Specific Countries or Regions [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Risks Affecting Specific Countries or Regions. If a significant portion of the Fund’s assets is invested in issuers that are economically exposed to one country or region, the Fund’s share value may be more susceptible to the conditions and developments in that country or region, and potentially more volatile than the share value of a more geographically diversified fund. A specific country or region could also be adversely affected by conditions or developments arising in other countries. For example, the U.S. government could take actions to prohibit or restrict individuals or companies within the U.S. from purchasing or holding the shares of issuers in another country, which may limit the Fund’s ability to invest in that country or cause the Fund to have to sell investments in that country at less than desired prices. The nature and degree of the risks affecting a given country or region, and the extent of the Fund’s exposure to any such country or region, is expected to vary over time.

 

Risks Affecting Specific Issuers [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Risks Affecting Specific Issuers. The value of an equity security or debt obligation may decline in response to developments affecting the specific issuer of the obligation or security, even if the overall industry or economy is unaffected. These developments may include a variety of factors, including but not limited to management issues or other corporate disruption, a decline in revenues or profitability, an increase in costs, or an adverse effect on the issuer’s competitive position.

 

Liquidity Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Liquidity Risk. Due to a lack of demand in the marketplace or other factors, the Fund may not be able to sell some or all of its investments promptly, or may only be able to sell investments at less than desired prices. The market for lower-rated and unrated debt obligations (including particularly “junk” or “high yield” bonds) and debt obligations backed by so-called “subprime” mortgages may be less liquid than the market for other obligations, making it difficult for the Fund to value its investment in a lower-rated or unrated obligation or to sell the investment in a timely manner or at an acceptable price.

 

Cybersecurity and Operational Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Cybersecurity and Operational Risk. Operational failures, cyber-attacks or other disruptions that affect the Fund’s service providers, the Fund’s counterparties, other market participants, or the issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders, including by causing losses for the Fund or impairing Fund operations. The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT, could exacerbate these risks.
