Dec. 31, 2025
Market Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Market Risk. The value of portfolio investments may decline. As a result, your investment in the Fund may decline in value and you could lose money.
Stock Equity Investing Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Stock/Equity Investing Risk. Stocks and other equities generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. Equity prices overall may decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices.
Fund of Funds Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Fund of Funds Risk. The Fund bears all risks associated with the investment strategies of its Underlying Funds, including the possibility that an Underlying Fund may not achieve its investment objective, which could negatively affect the Fund’s performance. In addition, among other risks, the Fund indirectly pays a proportional share of the fees and expenses of each Underlying Fund.
Issuer Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Issuer Risk. The prices of, and the income generated by, portfolio securities may decline in response to various factors directly related to the issuers of such securities.
Asset Allocation Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Asset Allocation Risk. With an asset allocation strategy, the amount invested in various asset classes of securities may change over time. Asset allocation risk could result in an allocation to an underperforming asset class.
Active Markets Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Active Markets Risk. Although the Underlying ETF’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the shares will develop or be maintained. Shares trade on an exchange at market prices that may be below, at or above the Underlying ETF’s NAV. Securities, including the shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. shares of the Underlying ETF could decline in value or underperform other investments.
Passive Management Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Passive Management Risk. Index funds invest in the securities of an index rather than actively selecting among securities. With an indexing strategy there is no attempt to manage volatility, use defensive strategies, or reduce the effects of any long-term period of poor investment performance.
Concentration Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Concentration Risk. Investments that are concentrated in particular industries, sectors or types of investments may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than investments that are spread among a wider variety of industries, sectors or investments.
Investment Style Factors Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Investment Style Factors Risk. There can be no assurance that the multi-factor stock selection process of the Fund will enhance performance. Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in some market environments, perhaps for extended periods.
Value Stocks Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Value Stocks Risk. Value stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks, such as growth stocks. Value stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time, may not ever realize their potential value, and may even go down in price.
Small- and Medium-Cap Company Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Small- and Medium-Cap Company Risk. The value of securities issued by small- and medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt market movements and may involve greater risks than investments in larger companies. These less developed, lesser-known companies may experience greater risks than those normally associated with larger companies. Small- and medium-sized companies also may be subject to interest rate risk, which is generally associated with fixed income securities, because these companies often borrow money to finance their operations; therefore, they may be adversely affected by rising interest rates.
Growth Stocks Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Growth Stocks Risk. Growth stocks, due to their relatively high market valuations, typically have been more volatile than value stocks. Growth stocks may not pay dividends, or may pay lower dividends, than value stocks and may be more adversely affected in a down market.
Exchange-Traded Fund ETF Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) Risk. ETFs generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they hold, although lack of liquidity in ETF shares could result in the price of the ETF being more volatile.
Interest Rate Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Interest Rate Risk. When interest rates change, fixed income securities (i.e., debt obligations) generally will fluctuate in value. These fluctuations in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities or durations.
Credit Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt obligation will be unable or unwilling to make interest or principal payments on time. Credit risk is often gauged by “credit ratings” assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs). A decrease in an issuer’s credit rating may cause a decline in the value of the issuer’s debt obligations. However, credit ratings may not reflect the issuer’s current financial condition or events since the security was last rated by a rating agency. Credit ratings also may be influenced by rating agency conflicts of interest or based on historical data that are no longer applicable or accurate.
Prepayment Call Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Prepayment/Call Risk. Debt securities are subject to prepayment risk when the issuer can “call” the security, or repay principal, in whole or in part, prior to the security’s maturity. When the Fund reinvests the prepayments of principal it receives, it may receive a rate of interest that is lower than the rate on the called security.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The value of mortgage-backed securities (commercial and residential) may fluctuate significantly in response to changes in interest rates. During periods of falling interest rates, underlying mortgages may be paid early, lowering the potential total return (pre-payment risk). During periods of rising interest rates, the rate at which the underlying mortgages are pre-paid may slow unexpectedly, causing the maturity of the mortgage-backed securities to increase and their value to decline (maturity extension risk).
Below Investment Grade Junk Bond Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Below Investment Grade (Junk Bond) Risk. Below investment grade bonds, otherwise known as “high yield” bonds or “junk” bonds, generally have a greater risk of principal loss than investment grade bonds. Below investment grade bonds are often considered speculative and involve significantly higher credit risk and liquidity risk. The value of these bonds may fluctuate more than the value of higher-rated debt obligations, and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty or periods of rising interest rates and may be subject to negative perceptions of the junk bond markets generally and less secondary market liquidity.
Derivatives Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Derivatives Risk. Derivatives or other similar instruments (referred to collectively as “derivatives”), such as futures, forwards, options, swaps, structured securities and other similar instruments, are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. Derivatives may involve costs and risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the costs and risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Derivatives prices can be volatile, may correlate imperfectly with price of the applicable underlying asset, reference rate or index and may move in unexpected ways, especially in unusual market conditions, such as markets with high volatility or large market declines. Some derivatives are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. Other risks include liquidity risk, which refers to the potential inability to terminate or sell derivative positions and for derivatives to create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. Further, losses could result if the counterparty to a transaction does not perform as promised. Derivatives that involve a small initial investment relative to the investment risk assumed can magnify or otherwise increase investment losses. This is referred to as financial “leverage” due to the potential for greater investment loss. Derivatives are also subject to operational and legal risks.
Futures Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Futures Risk. A futures contract is considered a derivative because it derives its value from the price of the underlying security or financial index. The prices of futures contracts can be volatile, and futures contracts may be illiquid. In addition, there may be imperfect or even negative correlation between the price of the futures contracts and the price of the underlying securities. Losses on futures contracts may exceed the amount invested.
Risk Management Strategy Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Risk Management Strategy Risk. The success of the Fund’s risk management strategy depends in part on Milliman’s ability, as the overlay manager, to effectively and efficiently implement its risk forecasts and to manage the strategy for the Fund’s benefit. The risk management strategy may depend upon one or more of the overlay manager’s proprietary forecasting models and information and data from one or more third parties to support the proprietary forecasting models. There is no guarantee that the models or the data the models are based on will be accurate or that the Fund can achieve or maintain optimal risk targets. The Fund’s performance may be negatively impacted in certain underlying markets as a result of reliance on these models. The Fund’s performance also may be impacted by the Fund’s use of short or long futures positions to implement the risk management strategy. Certain markets could negatively impact the success of the risk management strategy, such as rapidly and unpredictably changing markets, “v-shaped” markets (a sharp market sell-off followed by a strong rally retracing such sell-off), or other extreme or disrupted markets, each of which could cause the Fund to be invested in the underlying market when it declines or to be uninvested when the underlying market appreciates. Milliman seeking to manage currency risk could result in losses if currencies do not perform as expected.
Hedging Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Hedging Risk. The success of a hedging strategy cannot be guaranteed. Effective hedging requires correctly assessing the degree of correlation between the performance of the instruments used in the hedging strategy and the performance of the investments in the portfolio being hedged, as well as continual recalculation, readjustment, and execution of hedges in an efficient and timely manner. For example, futures contract short positions may not provide an effective hedge because changes in futures contract prices may not track those of the underlying securities or indices they are intended to hedge.
Limited Portfolio Holdings Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Limited Portfolio Holdings Risk. Because the Fund may hold large positions in a small number of Underlying Funds, an increase or decrease in the value of such securities may have a greater impact on the Fund’s value and total return.
Liquidity Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] • Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund cannot meet requests to redeem Fund-issued shares without significantly diluting the remaining investors’ interest in the Fund. This may result when portfolio holdings may be difficult to value and may be difficult to sell, both at the time or price desired. Liquidity risk also may result from increased shareholder redemptions in the Fund. Actions by governments and regulators may have the effect of reducing market liquidity, market resiliency and money supply. Liquidity risk also refers to the risk that the Fund may be required to hold additional cash or sell other investments in order to obtain cash to close out derivatives or meet the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties. The Fund may have to sell a security at a disadvantageous time or price to meet such obligations. The Fund’s liquidity risk management program requires that the Fund invest no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.
Risk Lose Money [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] All mutual funds carry risk. Accordingly, loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund.
