| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of U.S. and foreign companies that have market capitalizations in the range of companies in the Russell 1000® Growth Index (the Capitalization Index). The market capitalization range of the companies included within the Capitalization Index was $776.8 million to $4.8 trillion as of June 30, 2026. The market capitalization range and composition of companies in the Capitalization Index are subject to change. As such, the size of the companies in which the Fund invests may change. The Fund may continue to hold a security even if the company’s market capitalization is no longer within the range of the Capitalization Index. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies believed to have the potential for long-term growth. Under normal circumstances, the Fund also invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of “growth” companies. The Fund considers “growth” companies to be those companies that are either constituents of an index constructed by a third party to identify companies with various characteristics of growth companies, have a higher Institutional Brokers' Estimate System (I/B/E/S) medium-term growth forecast (two year) than the median ranked stock within the company’s Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) sector, or have a higher sales per share historical growth rate (five year) than the median ranked stock within the company’s GICS sector. The third-party broad-based index currently used to identify growth companies is the Russell 3000® Growth Index, although the Fund may change this index without prior notice. The I/B/E/S is a database used by brokers and investors to access the estimates made by stock analysts regarding the future earnings of publicly traded American companies. The I/B/E/S medium-term growth forecast is a measure of the average annualized EPS (earnings per share) growth forecast of contributing analysts/estimators for the forthcoming two years. The Fund typically employs a focused portfolio investing style, which results in fewer holdings than a fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a greater number of issuers. The Fund may invest directly in foreign securities or indirectly through depositary receipts. The Fund may at times emphasize one or more sectors in selecting its investments. As of its most recent fiscal year end, the Fund had an investment emphasis in the information technology sector.
