|---|---|
| Interest Rate Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Interest Rate Risk—fixed coupon payments (cash flows) of bonds and debt securities may become less competitive with the market in periods of rising interest rates and cause bond prices to decline. During periods of increasing interest rates, the Fund may experience high levels of volatility and shareholder redemptions, and may have to sell securities at times when it would otherwise not do so, and at unfavorable prices, which could reduce the returns of the Fund.
|
| Market Risks [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Market Risk—market prices of investments held by the Fund may fall rapidly or unpredictably due to a variety of factors, including economic or market conditions, or other factors including terrorism, war, natural disasters and the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including epidemics or pandemics, or in response to events that affect particular industries or companies. In addition, unexpected political, regulatory, trade and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree.
|
| Liquidity Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Liquidity Risk—the Fund may not be able to dispose of particular investments, such as illiquid securities, readily at favorable times or prices or the Fund may have to sell them at a loss.
|
| Debt Securities Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Debt Securities Risk—the value of a debt security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors, such as changes in interest rates or changes in the actual or perceived ability of an issuer to meet its obligations. Investments in debt securities are subject to, among other risks, credit risk, interest rate risk, extension risk, prepayment risk and liquidity risk.
|
| Bank Loan Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Bank Loan Risk—investments in bank loans are subject to credit risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk. The Fund may also be subject to the credit risk of other financial institutions and the risks associated with insufficient collateral securing a bank loan, limited available public information about a bank loan, delayed settlement, and less protection for holders of bank loans as compared to holders of registered securities.
|
| Changing Distribution Level Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Changing Distribution Level Risk—the Fund will normally receive income which may include interest, dividends and/or capital gains, depending upon its investments. The distribution amount paid by the Fund will vary and generally depends on the amount of income the Fund earns (less expenses) on its portfolio holdings, and capital gains or losses it recognizes. A decline in the Fund’s income or net capital gains arising from its investments may reduce its distribution level.
|
| Credit and Counterparty Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Credit and Counterparty Risk—the issuer of bonds or other debt securities or a counterparty to a derivatives contract (including over-the-counter counterparties as well as brokers and clearinghouses in respect of exchange-traded and/or cleared products) may be unable or unwilling, or may be perceived as unable or unwilling, to make timely interest, principal or settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer's creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer.
|
| Derivatives Risks [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Derivatives Risk—the use of derivatives involves costs, the risk that the value of derivatives may not correlate perfectly with their underlying assets, rates or indices, liquidity risk, and the risk of mispricing or improper valuation. The use of derivatives may not succeed for various reasons, and the complexity and rapidly changing structure of derivatives markets may increase the possibility of market losses.
|
| Exchange Traded Fund Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Exchange-Traded Fund Risk—because ETFs incur their own costs, investing in them could result in a higher cost to the investor.
|
| Extension Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Extension Risk—during periods of rising interest rates, a debtor may pay back a bond or other fixed income security slower than expected or required, and the value of such security may fall.
|
| Foreign Investment Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Foreign Investment Risk—investments in foreign issuers involve additional risks (such as risks arising from less frequent trading, changes in political or social conditions, and less publicly available information about non-U.S. issuers) that differ from those associated with investments in U.S. issuers and may result in greater price volatility.
|
| Inflation Deflation Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Inflation/Deflation Risk—inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future. Inflation rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors and the Fund’s investments may not keep pace with inflation, which may result in losses to Fund investors or adversely affect the real value of shareholders’ investments in the Fund. As inflation rates increase, fixed income securities markets may experience heightened levels of interest rate volatility and liquidity risk. Deflation risk is the risk that the prices throughout the economy decline over time – the opposite of inflation. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio.
|
| Leverage Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Leverage Risk—borrowing and some derivative investments such as futures, forward commitment transactions and swaps may increase volatility and magnify smaller adverse market movements into relatively larger losses.
|
| Management Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Management Risk—because the Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio, security selection or focus on securities in a particular style, market sector or group of companies may cause the Fund to incur losses or underperform relative to its benchmarks or other funds with a similar investment objective. There can be no guarantee that the Subadviser’s investment techniques and risk analysis will produce the desired result.
|
| Municipal Market Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Municipal Market Risk—factors unique to the municipal bond market may negatively affect the value of municipal bonds. These factors include political or legislative changes, and uncertainties related to the tax status of the securities and the rights of investors in the securities. The Fund may invest in a group of municipal obligations that are related in such a way that an economic, business, or political development affecting one would also affect the others.
|
| New Fund Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | New Fund Risk—the Fund is a new fund, which may result in additional risk. There can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to an economically viable size, in which case the Fund may cease operations. In such an event, investors may be required to liquidate or transfer their investments at an inopportune time. In addition, until the Fund achieves sufficient scale, a Fund shareholder may experience proportionally higher Fund expenses than would be experienced by shareholders of a fund with a larger asset base.
|
| Preferred Securities Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Preferred Securities Risk—a preferred security may decline in price, or fail to pay dividends when expected, because the issuer experiences a decline in its financial status. Preferred securities have a lower payment priority than the issuer’s bonds or other debt securities. Therefore, they are subject to greater credit risk than those debt securities. Preferred securities also may be significantly less liquid than many other securities.
|
| Prepayment Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Prepayment Risk—a debtor may exercise its right to pay back a bond or other debt security earlier than expected or required during periods of decreasing interest rates.
|
| Reinvestment Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Reinvestment Risk—the Fund may have difficulty reinvesting payments from debtors and may receive lower rates than from its original investments.
|
| Restricted Securities Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Restricted Securities Risk—investing in restricted securities (including, without limitation, Rule 144A securities) may reduce the liquidity of the Fund’s investments in the event that an adequate trading market does not exist for these securities. Limitations on the resale of restricted securities could adversely affect the marketability of the securities, and the Fund may be unable to sell the security at the desired time or price, if at all. The purchase price and subsequent valuation of restricted securities normally reflect a discount, which may be significant, from the market price of comparable unrestricted securities for which a liquid trading market exists.
|
| U S Government Securities Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | U.S. Government Securities Risk—obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies, authorities, instrumentalities, or sponsored enterprises such as Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, while obligations issued by others, such as Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), and Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBs”), are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and are backed solely by the entity’s own resources or by the ability of the entity to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. If one of these agencies defaults on a loan, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Government will provide financial support.
|
| High Yield Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | High Yield Risk—below investment grade debt securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as “junk bonds” or “high yield securities”) may be subject to greater levels of interest rate, credit, liquidity, and market risk than higher-rated securities.
|

| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | There is the risk that you may lose money on your investment. |
| Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member] | |
