Deferral and Omission [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  Deferral and Omission. If the Fund owns preferred securities that includes provisions that permit the issuer to defer or omit distributions for a stated period without any adverse consequences to the issuer, the Fund may be required to report income for tax purposes although it has not yet received such income.

 

Subordination [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  Subordination. Preferred securities are generally subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and liquidation payments, and therefore will be subject to greater credit risk than more senior debt instruments.

 

Interest Rate [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  Interest Rate. The prices of preferred securities typically respond to interest rate changes, decreasing in value if interest rates rise and increasing in value if interest rates fall. Accordingly, increases in interest rates are likely to have a negative impact on the preferred stocks held by the Fund.
Liquidity [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  Liquidity. Preferred securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks or U.S. government securities.

 

Limited Voting Rights [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  Limited Voting Rights. Preferred securities may have no or limited voting rights with respect to the issuing company.

 

Special Redemption Rights [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  Special Redemption Rights. An issuer of preferred securities may redeem the securities prior to a specified date, which may negatively impact the return of the security held by the Fund.

 

Hybrid Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Hybrid Securities Risk. Hybrid securities are subject to the risks of equity securities and risks of debt securities. The claims of holders of hybrid securities of an issuer are generally subordinated to those of holders of traditional debt securities in bankruptcy, and thus hybrid securities may be more volatile and subject to greater risk than traditional debt securities, and may in certain circumstances even be more volatile than traditional equity securities. At the same time, hybrid securities may not fully participate in gains of their issuer and thus potential returns of such securities are generally more limited than traditional equity securities, which would participate in such gains.

 

Convertible Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Convertible Securities Risk. The value of a convertible security may decline as interest rates rise and/or vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. The security may be called for redemption at a time and/ or price unfavorable to the Fund.

 

Extension Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Extension Risk. The Fund invests in securities that may be subject to the risk that a rise in interest rates or credit spreads will extend the life of a security to a date later than the anticipated repayment date, causing the value of the investment to decrease.

 

Significant Position Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Significant Position Risk. Based upon the implementation of the Sub-Adviser’s investment strategy, the Fund may hold and maintain a large position in a single security or a class of securities issued. As a result, the Fund’s performance could be significantly affected by changes in the value of the security or security class, and holding such positions may increase the overall volatility of Fund performance.

 

Micro, Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Micro, Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Micro, small and mid-sized companies often have narrower markets, fewer products or services to offer, and more limited managerial and financial resources than larger, more established companies. As a result, the performance of micro. small and mid-sized companies may be more volatile, and they may face a greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility and risk of loss to the Fund.

 

Large-Capitalization Stock Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Large-Capitalization Stock Risk. The stocks of large-capitalization companies are generally more mature and may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the stocks of small- or mid-capitalization companies.

 

Foreign Investments Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Foreign Investments Risk. Investing in foreign securities subjects the Fund to additional risks such as increased volatility; currency fluctuations; less liquidity; less publicly available information about the foreign investment; and political, regulatory, economic, and market risk. Additionally, to the extent that the underlying assets of the Fund trade on an exchange that is closed when the Exchange is open, there are likely to be deviations between current pricing of an underlying asset and stale asset pricing (i.e., the last quote from the foreign exchange market), resulting in premiums or discounts to NAV that are greater than those experienced by other ETFs.

 

Sector Focus Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Sector Focus Risk. To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in one or more sectors, this may make the Fund particularly susceptible to adverse economic, political or regulatory occurrences and changes affecting companies in those sectors. As the Fund’s investments in a sector increase, so does the potential for fluctuation in the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund.

 

Operational and Technology Risks [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Operational and Technology Risks. Human errors, processing errors, communication errors, systems failures, cybersecurity incidents, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning that affect the Fund’s service providers, may result in losses for the Fund and its shareholders or may impair the Fund’s operations. While the Fund’s service providers are required to have appropriate operational, information security and cybersecurity risk management policies and procedures, their methods of risk management may differ from those of the Fund. Operational and technology risks for the issuers in which the Fund invests could also result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the Fund’s investments in such issuers to lose value.

 

Small Fund Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Small Fund Risk. The Fund may experience low trading volume and wide bid/ask spreads, and may be delisted if it does not meet certain conditions of the Exchange, which could negatively impact the value of the Fund.

 

Market Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Market Risk. The value of the securities in the Fund may go up or down (sometimes significantly) in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions, including local, regional or global events.

Active Management Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and its performance reflects the investment decisions that the Sub-Adviser makes for the Fund. The Sub-Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness and potential appreciation of a security or other asset may prove to be inaccurate and may not produce the desired results.

 

ETF Risks [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF and, as a result of this structure, is exposed to the following risks, among others:

 

Authorized Participant Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  Authorized Participant Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants, none of which are obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent these Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable or unwilling to process creation and/ or redemption orders (either because of valuation difficulties or for other reasons), and no other Authorized Participant is able or willing to step forward to process creation and/or redemption orders, in either of these cases, Shares of the Fund may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face delisting.

 

Costs of Buying or Selling Shares [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

 

Fluctuation of NAV; Unit Premiums and Discounts [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  Fluctuation of NAV; Unit Premiums and Discounts. The NAV of the Shares will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s securities holdings, and the Fund cannot be predicted whether Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. If an investor purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any losses caused by a decrease in NAV.

 

No Assurance of Active Trading Market Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  No Assurance of Active Trading Market Risk. Although the Shares in the Fund are approved for listing on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop and be maintained for the Shares of the Fund. In times of market stress, market makers or Authorized Participants may step away from their respective roles in making a market in the Fund’s Shares, which could lead to wider bid/ask spreads and variances between the market price of the Fund’s Shares and their underlying value.

 

Fund Shares Liquidity Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  Fund Shares Liquidity Risk. In stressed market conditions, the market for an ETF’s shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the ETF’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can result in wider bid/ask spreads and differences between the ETF’s NAV and market price.

 

National Closed Market Trading Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
  National Closed Market Trading Risk.  To the extent that the underlying securities held by the Fund trade on foreign exchanges or in foreign markets that are closed when the securities exchange on which a Fund’s shares trade is open, there are likely to be deviations between the current price of such an underlying security and the last quoted price for the underlying security (i.e., a Fund’s quote from the closed foreign market). The impact of a closed foreign market on a Fund is likely to be greater where a large portion of a Fund’s underlying securities and/or other assets trade on that closed foreign market or when the foreign market is closed for unscheduled reasons. These deviations may result in premiums or discounts to a Fund’s NAV that may be greater than those experienced by other ETFs that don’t hold foreign securities.

 

Risk Lose Money [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risks; therefore, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
Risk Nondiversified Status [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. The Fund is considered non-diversified and may be more susceptible to factors negatively impacting its holdings to the extent the Fund invests more of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers than would a diversified fund.
