that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, regardless of whether or not you sell your shares at the end of such
periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses with respect
to ETF Class shares remain the same as those shown in the table. The one year amounts shown reflect the expense reimbursement noted in
the expense table. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities. A higher portfolio turnover rate may result in higher
transaction costs and, for holders of Fund shares subject to U.S. taxes, higher income taxes. These transaction costs, which are not reflected
in Annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During its fiscal year ended February 28,
2026, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate (excluding short-term investments) was 14%
of the average value of its portfolio securities.

The
Fund is a fund of funds and invests primarily in equities traded in non-U.S. markets (including emerging markets) through its investment
in Equity Funds and GMO-managed exchange-traded funds (collectively, the “underlying GMO Funds”) (see “Additional
Information About the Funds’ Investment Strategies, Risks, and Expenses — Asset Allocation Funds”).
The Fund also may invest directly in securities (including other underlying funds) and derivatives.
GMO
uses its quantitative multi-year forecasts of returns among asset classes, together with its assessment of the relative risks of asset
classes, to determine the asset classes in which the Fund invests and how much the Fund invests in each asset class. An important component
of those forecasts is GMO’s expectation that valuations ultimately revert to their fundamental fair (or intrinsic) value over a
complete market cycle. GMO changes the Fund’s asset class exposures in response to changes in GMO’s investment outlook and
its assessment of market valuations and may use redemptions or purchases of Fund shares to rebalance the Fund’s investments. The
factors GMO considers and investment methods GMO uses can change over time. Under
normal circumstances, the Fund invests (including through its investment in the
underlying
GMO Funds) at least 80% of its assets in equities (see “Name Policies”). In addition, under normal circumstances, the Fund
invests (including through its investment in the underlying GMO Funds) at least 80% of its assets in equities tied economically to developed
markets (see “Name Policies”). The
term “developed markets” means those countries included in the MSCI World Index, a global developed markets equity index,
and countries with similar characteristics (e.g., countries that have sustained economic development, sufficient liquidity for listed
companies and accessible markets). The Fund also may invest in equities tied economically to emerging markets (which are
not part of the Fund’s benchmark), but those investments typically will represent 10% or less of the Fund’s net assets measured
at the time of purchase.
The Fund may invest in securities of
companies of any market capitalization. In addition, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities.
The Fund also may invest in U.S. Treasury
Fund, in money market funds unaffiliated with GMO, and directly in the types of investments typically held by money market funds.
The Fund’s ETF Class operates
as an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”).

The
bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s annual
total returns from year to year for the periods indicated and by comparing the Fund’s average annual total returns for different
calendar periods with those of the Fund’s benchmark (a broad-based securities market index) and an additional broad-based securities
market index that was used as the Fund’s benchmark for periods prior to June 20, 2026. The
Fund’s ETF Class shares are a new class and, as of the date of this Prospectus, had not commenced operations.
Returns shown are those of Class III shares of the Fund, a mutual fund class of shares of the
Fund not offered in this Prospectus, and have not been adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses attributable to ETF Class shares.
Class III shares would have substantially similar annual returns to ETF Class shares because the shares are invested in the same portfolio
of securities, and the annual returns at NAV (assuming ETF Class shares are bought and sold without any premium or discount) would differ
only to the extent that Class III shares do not have the same expenses as ETF Class shares. Share classes that bear higher expenses
than the share classes shown below would have lower returns. After-tax
returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state
and local taxes. Actual after-tax
returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant if you are tax-exempt or
if you hold your Fund shares through tax-advantaged arrangements (such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account).
After-tax returns are shown for Class III shares
only; after-tax returns for other classes will vary. Updated performance information for the Fund is available at https://www.gmo.com/americas/investment-capabilities/etfs/.

Market
Risk – Equities − The market price of an equity in the Fund’s portfolio may decline due to factors
affecting the issuer or its industry or the economy and equity markets generally. If the Fund purchases an equity for less than its fundamental
fair (or intrinsic) value as assessed by GMO, the Fund runs the risk that the market price of the equity will not appreciate or will decline
(for example, if GMO’s assessment proves to be incorrect or the market fails to recognize the equity’s intrinsic value).
The Fund also may purchase equities that typically trade at higher multiples of current earnings than other securities, and the market
prices of these equities often are more sensitive to changes in future earnings expectations and interest rates than the market prices
of equities trading at lower multiples. Declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset value of the Fund’s
shares.

| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock |
Non-U.S.
Investment Risk − The market prices of many non-U.S. securities fluctuate more than those of U.S. securities. Many non-U.S.
securities markets are less stable, smaller, less liquid, and less regulated than U.S. securities markets, and the cost of trading in
those markets often is higher than in U.S. securities markets. In addition, non-U.S. securities issuers often are not subject to as much
regulation as U.S. issuers, and the reporting, recordkeeping, accounting, custody, and auditing standards to which those issuers are subject
often are not as rigorous as U.S. standards. In addition, the Fund is subject to taxation by countries other than the United States, including
potentially on a retroactive basis, on (i) capital gains it realizes or dividends, interest, or other amounts it realizes or accrues
in respect of non-U.S. investments; (ii) transactions in those investments; and (iii) repatriation of proceeds generated from
the sale or other disposition of those investments. Also, the Fund needs a license to invest directly in securities traded in many non-U.S.
securities markets, and the Fund is subject to the risk that its license is terminated or suspended. In some non-U.S. securities markets,
prevailing custody and trade settlement practices (e.g., the requirement to pay for securities prior to receipt) expose the Fund to credit
and other risks. Further, adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls could adversely affect
the value of the Fund’s investments. The risks above (such as substantial price fluctuations and market instability, illiquidity
and lack of regulation) and other risks (e.g., nationalization, expropriation or other confiscation of assets of non-U.S. issuers, difficulties
enforcing legal judgments or contractual rights and geopolitical risks) tend to be higher for investments in the securities of issuers
tied economically to emerging countries. The economies of emerging countries often depend predominantly on only a few industries or commodities
and often are more volatile than the economies of developed countries.

Management
and Operational Risk − The Fund runs the risk that GMO’s investment techniques will fail to produce intended results.
GMO uses quantitative models as part of its investment process. GMO’s models may not accurately predict future market movements.
In addition, GMO’s models rely on assumptions and data that are subject to limitations (e.g., inaccuracies, staleness) that could
adversely affect their predictive value. The Fund also runs the risk that GMO’s assessment of an investment, including a security’s
fundamental fair (or intrinsic) value, is wrong or that deficiencies in GMO’s or another service provider’s internal systems
or controls will cause losses for the Fund or impair Fund operations.

Derivatives
and Short Sales Risk − The use of derivatives involves the risk that their value may not change as expected relative to
changes in the value of the underlying assets, pools of assets, rates, currencies or indices. Derivatives also present other risks, including
market risk,
illiquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk, leveraging
risk, commodities risk and counterparty risk. The market price of an option is affected by many factors, including changes in the market
prices or dividend rates of underlying securities (or in the case of indices, the securities in such indices); the time remaining before
expiration; changes in interest rates or exchange rates; and changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the relevant index or underlying
securities. The Fund typically creates short investment exposure by selling securities short or by taking a derivative position in which
the value of the derivative moves in the opposite direction from the price of an underlying asset, pool of assets, rate, currency or index.
Specifically, the net asset value of the Fund’s shares will be adversely affected if the securities or other assets that are the
subject of the Fund’s short exposures appreciate in value. The risk of loss associated with derivatives that provide short investment
exposure and short sales of securities is theoretically unlimited.

Fund
of Funds Risk − The Fund is indirectly exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds in which it

Smaller
Company Risk − Smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, lack the competitive strength
of larger companies, have less experienced managers or depend on a few key employees. The securities of companies with smaller market
capitalizations often are less widely held and trade less frequently and in lesser quantities, and their market prices often fluctuate

Leveraging
Risk − The use of derivatives, short sales and securities lending can create leverage. Leverage increases the Fund’s
losses when the value of its investments (including derivatives) declines. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio will be leveraged
if it exercises its right to delay payment on a redemption and the value of the Fund’s assets declines between the time a redemption
request is treated as being received by the Fund and the time the Fund liquidates assets to fund that redemption.

Disruption and Geopolitical Risk − Geopolitical and other events (e.g., wars, pandemics, sanctions, terrorism, diplomatic

Transactions Risk − To the extent that a large number of shares of the Fund is held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional

Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by (or caused by) that shareholder or group will require the Fund to sell investments at
disadvantageous prices, disrupt the Fund’s operations, lead to temporary overexposure to the Fund’s intended investment
program or force the Fund’s liquidation. The Fund also may be subject to these effects when a number of shareholders collectively

Risk – Fixed Income − The market price of a fixed income investment can decline due to market-related

Credit
Risk − The Fund runs the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income investment (including a sovereign or quasi-sovereign
debt issuer) or the obligor of an obligation underlying an asset-backed security will be unable or unwilling to satisfy its obligation
to pay principal and interest or otherwise to honor its obligations in a timely manner or at all. The market price of a fixed income investment
will normally decline as a result of the failure of an issuer, guarantor, or obligor to meet its payment obligations or in anticipation
of such a failure. Below investment grade investments (commonly referred to as high yield or “junk” bonds) have speculative
characteristics and are subject to greater credit risk than other fixed income investments. Negative changes in economic conditions or
other circumstances are more likely to impair the ability of issuers of below investment grade investments to make principal and interest
payments than issuers of investment grade investments.

| Prospectus [Line Items] | oef_ProspectusLineItems | |||||||||||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock |
ETF Risks − The
Fund’s ETF Class operates as an ETF and, as a result of this structure, ETF Class shares are exposed to the following risks:
•
Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares Risk. Due to the costs of buying or selling the Fund’s ETF Class shares, including
brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and the variance in bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of ETF Class shares may significantly reduce
investment results and an investment in ETF Class shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.
•
Limited
Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Risk. Because the Fund’s ETF Class operates
as an ETF, typically only a limited number of institutional investors (known as “Authorized Participants”) are authorized
to purchase and redeem shares ETF Class shares directly from the Fund. Retail investors cannot transact in ETF Class shares directly with
the Fund. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace to transact in ETF
Class shares, there may be demand for ETF Class shares, thereby increasing the market price above net asset value (“NAV”),
or lack of demand, which may decrease the market price below NAV, or in stressed market conditions, the market for ETF Class shares may
become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings. As a result
of these considerations, ETF Class shares may trade at a material premium or discount to their NAV or these factors may, in turn, lead
to wider spreads between the bid and ask price of ETF Class shares. In addition, the ETF Class shares may face possible delisting if:
(i) Authorized Participants exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other
Authorized Participants step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business
or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.
•
Trading
Risk. The Fund’s ETF Class shares may trade on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) above
(premium) or below (discount) their NAV. In stressed market conditions, the market for ETF Class shares may become less liquid in response
to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which may increase the variance between
the market price of the ETF Class shares and the value of the Fund’s underlying holdings attributable to ETF Class shares. This
can be reflected as a spread between the bid and ask prices for the ETF Class shares quoted during the day or a premium or discount in
the closing price from their NAV. In addition, although the Fund’s ETF Class shares are currently listed on the Exchange, there
can be no assurance that an active trading market for ETF Class shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in ETF Class shares may
be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in ETF Class shares of the Fund inadvisable.
•
Cash
Transactions Risk. The Fund may effect some of its creations and redemptions of ETF Class shares for cash, rather
than in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times in order to obtain the cash
needed to meet redemption orders. This may cause the Fund to sell a security and recognize ordinary income, or a capital gain or loss
that might not have been incurred if it had made a redemption in-kind. The use of cash creations and redemptions may also cause the Fund’s
ETF Class shares to trade in the market at wider bid-ask spreads or greater premiums or discounts to their NAV. In effecting creations
and redemptions in ETF Class shares in exchange for cash, the Fund may incur certain costs, including brokerage costs in connection with
investing cash received and may recognize capital gains in connection with cash redemptions, unlike an ETF that effects creations and
redemptions only in-kind. In addition, costs could be imposed on the Fund which would have the effect of decreasing the Fund’s
NAV to the extent the costs are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an Authorized Participant.
•
National
Closed Market Trading Risk. To the extent that the underlying securities or other instruments held by the Fund
trade on foreign exchanges or in foreign markets that may be closed when the securities exchange on which the Fund’s ETF Class
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., the Fund’s quote from the closed foreign market). The impact of a closed foreign market on the
Fund is likely to be greater where a large portion of the Fund’s underlying securities or other instruments trade on that closed
foreign market or when the foreign market is closed for unscheduled reasons. These deviations could result in premiums or discounts to
the NAV of the Fund’s ETF Class shares that may be greater than those experienced by other ETFs.
