Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ■ Small-Cap Company Risk. The Fund may invest in small capitalization (“small-cap”) companies. Small-cap companies may have less liquid stock, a more volatile share price, unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. The above factors could make small-cap companies more likely to fail than larger companies, and increase the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio, performance and Share price.
Stock Market Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ■ Stock Market Risk. The value of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time. Declines in value can occur because of events relating to an issuer of a particular security resulting in a decline in the price of a particular portfolio holding, shareholder redemptions, or events relating to the broader stock market or economy, including changes in interest rates, industry or economic trends, monetary policy changes, market volatility and liquidity, or other adverse effects, which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance. Information publicly available about an issuer, whether from the issuer’s financial statements or other disclosures or from third parties, or information available to some but not all market participants, also can affect the price of an issuer’s shares in the market. The Adviser and its affiliated investment advisers, as well as third party advisers, also may manage other funds and accounts that use similar investment strategies, and invest in similar securities, as the Fund, and investments in certain securities by multiple funds and accounts, including those managed by the Adviser and its affiliates, could impact the availability of suitable securities and cause a capacity constraint associated with the Fund’s investment strategy and could cause the Fund to be closed entirely or partially to new investment by all or certain shareholders.
Risk Related to the Economy [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ■ Risk Related to the Economy. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decline in tandem with a drop in the overall value of the markets in which the Fund invests and/or other markets. Global economic, political and financial conditions, including geopolitical and other events (e.g., wars, tensions, sanctions and terrorism), legislative changes or shifts in fiscal or monetary policy or reform, industry or economic trends and developments, grid congestion or capacity constraints, natural disasters or public health risks, such as epidemics or pandemics, may, from time to time, and for varying periods of time, have a significant effect on the economies of many nations, including the U.S., and financial markets generally and cause the Fund to experience volatility, illiquidity, loss of value, shareholder redemptions and/or other potentially adverse effects.
Risk Related to Investing for Growth [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ■ Risk Related to Investing for Growth. Due to their relatively high valuations, growth stocks are typically more volatile than value stocks. Additionally, growth stocks may not pay dividends or may pay lower dividends than value stocks.
Risk Related to Investing for Value [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ■ Risk Related to Investing for Value. Due to their relatively low valuations, value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks. Additionally, value stocks tend to have higher dividends than growth stocks. This means they depend less on price changes for returns and may lag behind growth stocks in an up market. The value approach to stock selection also carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long time (if ever), or that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced.
Real Estate Investment Trust Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ■ Real Estate Investment Trust Risk. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) carry risks associated with owning real estate, including the potential for a decline in value due to economic or market conditions.
Sector Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ■ Sector Risk. Because the Fund may allocate relatively more assets to certain industry sectors than others, the Fund’s performance may be more susceptible to any developments which affect those sectors emphasized by the Fund.
Quantitative Modeling Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ■ Quantitative Modeling Risk. The Fund employs quantitative models as a management technique. These models examine multiple economic factors using various proprietary and third-party data. The results generated by quantitative analysis may perform differently than expected and may negatively affect Fund performance for various reasons (for example, human judgment, data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, or programming inaccuracies).
