| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | Under normal circumstances, we invest:
To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, when such instruments provide investment exposure to the investments set forth in the first bullet above or exposure to one or more market risk factors associated with such investments, the Fund may include such derivatives in complying with the 80% requirement set out in this bullet. We invest principally in equity securities of small-capitalization companies, which we define as companies with market capitalizations within the range of the Russell 2000® Index. The market capitalization range of the Russell 2000® Index was approximately $500 million to $13.78 billion, as of June 30, 2026 and is expected to change frequently. Furthermore, we may use futures contracts in order to equitize cash. We employ a risk controlled investment approach in seeking to construct a broadly diversified portfolio of companies with a superior valuation and earnings profile. Our research, which utilizes a combination of quantitative methods and fundamental analysis, identifies companies based on valuation, earnings and trading momentum characteristics that give a comprehensive view of each company’s relative valuation, operational and financial performance, and stock price behavior. We regularly review the investments of the portfolio and may sell a portfolio holding when, among other reasons, we believe there is deterioration in the underlying fundamentals of the business, or we have identified a more attractive investment opportunity. We may actively trade portfolio securities, which may lead to higher transaction costs that may affect the Fund’s performance. In addition, active trading of portfolio securities may lead to higher taxes if your shares are held in a taxable account.

| Prospectus [Line Items] | |||
| Strategy [Heading] | Principal Investment Strategies | ||
| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | Under normal circumstances, we invest:
We invest in substantially all of the common stocks comprising the S&P 500 Index and attempt to achieve at least a 95% correlation between the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Fund’s investment results, before fees and expenses. This correlation is sought regardless of market conditions. If we are unable to achieve this correlation, then we will closely monitor the performance and composition of the S&P 500 Index and adjust the Fund’s securities holdings as necessary to seek the correlation. We may use futures contracts in order to equitize cash. A precise duplication of the performance of the S&P 500 Index would mean that the net asset value (“NAV”) of Fund shares, including dividends and capital gains, would increase or decrease in exact proportion to changes in the S&P 500 Index. Such a 100% correlation is not feasible. Our ability to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index may be affected by, among other things, transaction costs and shareholder purchases and redemptions. We continuously monitor the performance and composition of the S&P 500 Index and adjust the Fund’s portfolio as necessary to reflect any changes to the S&P 500 Index and to maintain a 95% or better performance correlation before fees and expenses. The Fund may become non-diversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the S&P 500 Index.

To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, when such instruments provide investment exposure to the investments set forth in the first bullet above or exposure to one or more market risk factors associated with such investments, the Fund may include such derivatives in complying with the 80% requirement set out in this bullet. We invest principally in equity securities of small-capitalization value companies, which we define as companies with market capitalizations within the range of the Russell 2000® Index that are constituents of the Russell 3000® Value Index, the S&P Composite 1500® Value Index or the Bloomberg 3000 Value Index, or that have weighted average price to earnings ratios that are lower than the median of the Russell 3000® Index. The market capitalization range of the Russell 2000® Index was $500 million to $13.78 billion as of June 30, 2026, and is expected to change frequently. We look for undervalued companies that we believe have the potential for above average capital appreciation with below average risk. Rigorous fundamental research drives our search for companies with favorable reward-to-risk ratios and that possess, a long-term competitive advantage provided by a durable asset base, strong balance sheets, and sustainable and superior cash flows. Typical investments include stocks of companies that are generally out of favor in the marketplace, or are undergoing reorganization or other corporate action that may create above-average price appreciation. We regularly review the investments of the portfolio and may sell a portfolio holding when a stock nears its price target, downside risks increase considerably, the company’s fundamentals have deteriorated, or we identify a more attractive investment opportunity.
