| Callable Securities Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Callable Securities Risk
The Fund may invest in fixed-income securities with call features. A call feature allows the issuer of the security to redeem or call the security prior to its stated maturity date. In periods of falling interest rates, issuers may be more likely to call in securities that are paying higher coupon rates than prevailing interest rates. In the event of a call, the Fund would lose the income that would have been earned to maturity on that security, and the proceeds received by the Fund may be invested in securities paying lower coupon rates and may not benefit from any increase in value that might otherwise result from declining interest rates. |

| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Counterparty Risk
The Fund is subject to the risk that a party or participant to a transaction, such as a broker, will be unwilling or unable to satisfy its obligation to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments or to otherwise honor its obligations to the Fund. |
||||||||||||||||
| Credit Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Credit Risk
The Fund is subject to the risk that the issuer, guarantor or insurer of an obligation, or the counterparty to a transaction, may fail, or become less able or unwilling, to make timely payment of interest or principal or otherwise honor its obligations or default completely. Changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of an issuer, or a downgrade or default affecting any of the Fund’s securities, could affect the Fund’s performance. Generally, the longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a security, the more sensitive it is to credit risk. |

| Cybersecurity and Operational Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Cybersecurity and Operational Risk
Operational risks arising from, among other problems, human errors, systems and technology disruptions or failures, or cybersecurity incidents may negatively impact the Fund, its service providers and third-party fund distribution platforms, including the ability of shareholders to transact in the Fund’s shares, and result in financial losses. Cybersecurity incidents may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund assets, shareholder data, or proprietary information, or cause the Fund or its service providers, as well as securities trading venues and their service providers, to suffer data corruption or lose operational functionality. Cybersecurity incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. It is not possible for the Fund or its service providers to identify all of the operational risks that may affect the Fund or to develop processes and controls to completely eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects. The Fund cannot control the cybersecurity and operational plans and systems of its service providers, its counterparties or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests. The issuers of the Fund’s investments are likely to be dependent on computers for their operations and require ready access to their data and the internet to conduct their business. Thus, cybersecurity incidents could also affect issuers of the Fund’s investments, leading to significant loss of value. |

| Debentures Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Debentures Risk
Debentures are unsecured debt securities. The holder of a debenture is protected only by the general creditworthiness of the issuer. The Fund may invest in both corporate and government debentures. |

| Risk [Text Block] | Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) Risk As an ETF, the Fund is subject to the following risks:
|
||||||||||||||||
| High-Yield Securities Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | High-Yield Securities Risk
Exposure to high-yield, below investment-grade securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) generally involves significantly greater risks than an investment in investment grade securities. High-yield debt securities may fluctuate more widely in price and yield and may fall in price when the economy is weak or expected to become weak. These securities also may be difficult to sell at the time and price the Fund desires. High-yield securities are considered to be speculative with respect to an issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal and carry a greater risk that the issuers of lower-rated securities will default on the timely payment of principal and interest. High-yield securities may experience greater price volatility and less liquidity than investment grade securities. Issuers of securities that are in default or have defaulted may fail to resume principal or interest payments, in which case the Fund may lose its entire investment. |
||||||||||||||||
| Interest Rate Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Interest Rate Risk
Generally, the value of investments with interest rate risk, such as fixed-income securities, will move in the opposite direction as movements in interest rates. Factors including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates, and changes in general economic conditions may cause interest rates to rise, which could cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline. Interest rate increases, including significant or rapid increases, may result in a decline in the value of bonds held by the Fund, make issuers less willing or able to make principal and interest payments on fixed-income investments when due, lead to heightened volatility in the fixed-income markets and adversely affect the liquidity of certain fixed-income investments, any of which may result in substantial losses to the Fund. When interest rates decline, issuers may prepay higher-yielding securities held by the Fund, resulting in the Fund reinvesting in securities with lower yields, which may cause a decline in its income. The prices of fixed-income securities are also affected by their durations. Fixed-income securities with longer durations generally have greater sensitivity to changes in interest rates than those with shorter durations. Rising interest rates may cause the value of the Fund’s investments with longer durations and terms to maturity to decline, which may adversely affect the value of the Fund. For example, if a bond has a duration of 8 years, a 1% increase in interest rates could be expected to result in an 8% decrease in the value of the bond. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by the Fund. |

| Risk [Text Block] | Investment Risk
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell your shares of the Fund, they could be worth less than what you paid for them. Therefore, you may lose money by investing in the Fund. |
||||||||||||||||
| Issuer Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Issuer Risk
The value of, and/or the return generated by, a security may decline for a number of reasons that directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets. |
||||||||||||||||
| Liquidity Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Liquidity Risk
The Fund is susceptible to the risk that certain investments held by the Fund may have limited marketability, be subject to restrictions on sale, be difficult or impossible to purchase or sell at favorable times or prices or become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse credit events that may affect issuers or guarantors of a security. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Fund’s value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities. Market prices for such instruments may be volatile. During periods of substantial market volatility, an investment or even an entire market segment may become illiquid, sometimes abruptly, which can adversely affect the Fund’s ability to limit losses. The Fund could lose money if it is unable to dispose of an investment at a time that is most beneficial to the Fund. The Fund may be required to dispose of investments at unfavorable times or prices to satisfy obligations, which may result in losses or may be costly to the Fund. For example, liquidity risk may be magnified in rising interest rate environments in the event of higher than normal redemption rates. Judgment plays a greater role in pricing illiquid investments than in investments with more active markets. |
||||||||||||||||
| Market Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Market Risk The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities markets will move down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based on overall economic conditions and other factors, which may negatively affect the Fund’s performance. The financial markets generally move in cycles, with periods of rising prices followed by periods of declining prices. The value of your investment may reflect these fluctuations. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. Even when certain securities prices have generally increased over time, there have been periods of price decreases during those times, resulting in losses for investors, which are likely to occur again in the future. Geopolitical and other events, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, pandemics, public health crises, natural disasters, and cybersecurity incidents, have led, and in the future may continue to lead, to general instability in world economies and markets and reduced liquidity in securities, which may negatively affect the value of your investment. Policies established by the U.S. government and/or Federal Reserve and economic and political circumstances within the U.S. and abroad, such as inflation, changes in interest rates, recessions, changes in government leadership, a government’s inability to agree on a budget, high public debt, the threat or occurrence of a federal government shutdown and threats or the occurrence of a failure to increase the federal government’s debt limit, which could result in a default on the government’s obligations, may negatively affect investor and consumer confidence and may negatively impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. Markets and market participants are increasingly reliant upon public and proprietary data and systems. Data or technology malfunctions and inaccuracies may disrupt markets and lead to negative consequences for market participants like the Fund.

| Municipal Securities Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Municipal Securities Risk Municipal securities could be affected by adverse political and legislative changes. The ability of a municipal issuer to make payments can be affected by uncertainties in the municipal securities market, including: litigation; the strength of the local or national economy; the issuer’s ability to raise revenues through tax or other means; budgetary constraints of local, state and federal governments upon which the issuer may be relying for funding; a legislature’s willingness or ability to appropriate funds needed to pay municipal securities obligations; the bankruptcy of the issuer; adverse political and legislative changes, including to eliminate or limit the tax-exempt status of municipal bond interest or dividends; and other changes in the financial condition of a municipality. At times, municipal issuers have defaulted on obligations or commenced insolvency proceedings. Financial difficulties of municipal issuers may continue or get worse in the future. Reductions in tax rates may make municipal securities less attractive in comparison to taxable bonds. In addition, the Fund’s investments in municipal securities are subject to the following risks:

| New Fund Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | New Fund Risk
The Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. The current performance of the Fund may not represent how it is expected to, or may, perform in the long term if and when it becomes larger and has fully implemented its investment strategies. Investment positions may have a disproportionate impact (negative or positive) on the Fund’s performance. The Fund may also require a period of time before it is invested in securities that meet its investment objectives and policies and achieves a representative portfolio composition. Fund performance may be lower or higher during this “ramp-up” period, and may also be more volatile, than would be the case after the Fund is fully invested. Similarly, the Fund’s investment strategies may require a longer period of time to show returns that are representative of the strategies. As a new ETF, the Fund may experience low trading volume and wide bid-ask spreads. |
||||||||||||||||
| Restricted Securities Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Restricted Securities Risk
Securities not registered in the U.S. under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or in non-U.S. markets pursuant to similar regulations, including “Section 4(a)(2)” securities and “Rule 144A” securities, are restricted as to their resale. Such securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. The prices of these securities may be more difficult to determine than publicly traded securities and these securities may involve heightened risk as compared to investments in securities of publicly traded companies. They may be more difficult to purchase or sell at an advantageous time or price because such securities may not be readily marketable in broad public markets or may have to be held for a certain time period before they can be resold. The Fund may not be able to sell a restricted security when the sub-advisor considers it desirable to do so and/or may have to sell the security at a lower price than the Fund believes is its fair market value. In addition, transaction costs may be higher for restricted securities and the Fund may receive only limited information regarding the issuer of a restricted security. The Fund may have to bear the expense of registering restricted securities for resale and the risk of substantial delays in effecting the registration. |
||||||||||||||||
| Sector Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Sector Risk When the Fund focuses its investments in certain sectors of the economy, its performance could fluctuate more widely than if the Fund were invested more evenly across sectors. Issuers in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly. Additionally, individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, than the broader market. As the Fund’s portfolio changes over time, the Fund’s exposure to a particular sector may become higher or lower.

| Secured, Partially Secured and Unsecured Obligation Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Secured, Partially Secured and Unsecured Obligation Risk
Debt obligations may be secured, partially secured or unsecured. Interests in secured and partially-secured obligations have the benefit of collateral and, typically, of restrictive covenants limiting the ability of the borrower to further encumber its assets. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured or partially-secured obligation would satisfy the borrower’s obligation, or that the collateral can be liquidated. Furthermore, there is a risk that the value of any collateral securing an obligation in which the Fund has an interest may decline and that the collateral may not be sufficient to cover the amount owed on the obligation. In the event the borrower defaults, the Fund’s access to the collateral may be limited or delayed by bankruptcy or other insolvency laws. Unsecured debt, including senior unsecured and subordinated debt, will not be secured by any collateral and will be effectively subordinated to a borrower’s secured indebtedness (to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness). With respect to unsecured obligations, the Fund lacks any collateral on which to foreclose to satisfy its claim in whole or in part. Such instruments generally have greater price volatility than that of fully secured holdings and may be less liquid. |
||||||||||||||||
| Securities Selection Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Securities Selection Risk
Securities selected for the Fund may not perform to expectations. This could result in the Fund’s underperformance compared to its performance index(es), or other funds with similar investment objectives or strategies. |
||||||||||||||||
| Tax and Political Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Tax and Political Risk There is no guarantee that the Fund’s income will be exempt from U.S. federal income taxes and the federal AMT. The sub-advisor relies on prospectus disclosure of the tax opinion from the bond issuer’s counsel as to the tax-exempt status of the investment. None of the Manager, the sub-advisor or the Fund guarantees that these opinions are correct, and there is no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will agree with the bond issuer’s counsel’s tax opinion. Interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued, and the security could decline significantly in value. The interest on any money market instruments or other cash equivalents held by a Fund may be subject to federal, state and local income taxation and the federal Medicare contribution tax. A significant restructuring of federal income tax rates, or even serious discussion on the topic in Congress, could cause municipal bond prices to fall. The demand for municipal securities is strongly influenced by the value of tax-exempt income to investors. Lower income tax rates could reduce the advantage of owning municipal securities.
|
||||||||||||||||
| Unrated Securities Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Unrated Securities Risk Because the Fund may purchase securities that are not rated by any rating organization, the sub-advisor, after assessing their credit quality, may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities in categories similar to those of rating organizations. Unrated securities are subject to the risk that the sub-advisor may not accurately evaluate the security’s comparative credit rating. Some unrated securities may not have an active trading market or may be difficult to value, which means the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable price. Unrated securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk and price volatility.

||||||||||||||||
| Valuation Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Valuation Risk
Certain of the Fund’s assets may be valued at a price different from the price at which they can be sold. This risk may be especially pronounced for investments that are illiquid or may become illiquid, or securities that trade in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience extreme volatility. The valuation of the Fund’s investments in an accurate and timely manner may be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by third party service providers, such as pricing services or accounting agents. |
||||||||||||||||
| Variable and Floating Rate Securities Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Variable and Floating Rate Securities Risk
The coupons on variable and floating-rate securities are not fixed and may fluctuate based upon changes in market rates. A variable rate security has a coupon that is adjusted at pre-designated periods in response to changes in the market rate of interest on which the coupon is based. The coupon on a floating rate security is generally based on an interest rate, such as a money-market index, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), or a Treasury bill rate. Variable and floating rate securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. As short-term interest rates decline, the coupons on variable and floating-rate securities typically decrease. Alternatively, during periods of rising short-term interest rates, the coupons on variable and floating-rate securities typically increase. Changes in the coupons of variable and floating-rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates or may have limits on the maximum increases in the coupon rates. The value of variable and floating-rate securities may decline if their coupons do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, variable and floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. Certain types of variable and floating rate instruments may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities. |
||||||||||||||||
| Zero Coupon Securities Risk [Member] | |||||||||||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | Zero Coupon Securities Risk
Zero coupon securities are debt securities that do not make periodic interest payments prior to maturity or a specified redemption date (or cash payment date). Accordingly, zero coupon securities usually trade at a deep discount from their face or par value and will be subject to greater fluctuations in market value in response to changing interest rates than debt obligations of comparable maturities that make current distribution of interest in cash. While interest payments are not made on such securities, the Fund accrues income with respect to these securities for federal income tax and accounting purposes. Longer term zero-coupon bonds are more exposed to interest rate risk than shorter term zero coupon bonds. |
