| Portfolio Turnover [Heading] | oef_PortfolioTurnoverHeading | Portfolio Turnover | ||||
| Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] | oef_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock | The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 36% of the average value of its portfolio. |

| Expense Example [Heading] | oef_ExpenseExampleHeading | Example | ||||
| Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] | oef_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock | This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods or continued to hold them. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same and that the expense reimbursement agreement remains in place for the contractual period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: |

| Strategy [Heading] | oef_StrategyHeading | Principal Investment Strategies | ||||
| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | oef_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | Under normal circumstances, the fund invests in various types of lower-rated, higher yielding debt instruments, including corporate obligations, floating rate loans and other debt obligations. The fund may invest in debt obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. The fund’s investment in non-U.S. issuers may at times be significant. Debt instruments are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Debt instruments include corporate bonds, government securities (including Treasury securities), repurchase agreements, money market securities, loan participations and assignments, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities. High-yield debt instruments are those that are rated below investment grade (below BBB-/Baa3) or unrated securities that the subadviser believes are of comparable quality. Such investments are commonly known as “junk bonds” and present greater risks than investment grade bonds. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in high yield debt instruments. These instruments will be chosen from the broad universe of available U.S. dollar denominated, high yield debt rated below investment grade by the ICE BofA US Cash Pay High Yield Index or unrated debt instruments that the subadviser believes are of comparable quality. Although the fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily through investment in high yield debt instruments, the fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in investment grade instruments. The fund will be managed with a duration that is close to the ICE BofA US High Yield BB-B Constrained Index, which is generally between 2 and 6 years. Duration measures a bond or fund’s sensitivity to interest rate or other changes (such as changes in a bond’s yield) and is expressed as a number of years or days. The higher the number, the greater the risk. Under normal circumstances, for example, if a portfolio has a duration of 5 years, its value will change by 5% if yields change by 1%. Shorter duration bonds generally result in lower expected volatility. The fund may also invest a portion of its assets in instruments that are restricted as to resale. The fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in U.S. and non-U.S. dollar denominated foreign debt, including emerging markets debt and Yankee bonds, which are dollar-denominated instruments issued in the U.S. market by foreign branches of U.S. banks and U.S. branches of foreign banks. |

| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Principal Risks | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Principal Risks The fund may not achieve its objective(s), and it is not intended to be a complete investment program. The value of the fund’s investments that supports your share value may decrease. If between the time you purchase shares and the time you sell shares the value of the fund’s investments decreases, you will lose money. Investment values can decrease for a number of reasons. Conditions affecting the overall economy, specific industries or companies in which the fund invests can be worse than expected, and investments may fail to perform as the subadviser expects. As a result, the value of your shares may decrease. Purchase and redemption activities by fund shareholders may impact the management of the fund and its ability to achieve its investment objective(s). The principal risks of investing in the fund are identified below. |

| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Credit Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Credit Risk: If the issuer of a debt instrument fails to pay interest or principal in a timely manner, or negative perceptions exist in the market of the issuer’s ability to make such payments, the price of the security may decline. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Interest Rate Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Interest Rate Risk: The values of debt instruments may rise or fall in response to changes in interest rates, and this risk may be enhanced for securities with longer maturities. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | High-Yield/High-Risk Fixed Income Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > High-Yield/High-Risk Fixed Income Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk: There is a greater risk of issuer default, less liquidity, and increased price volatility related to high-yield/high-risk securities than investment grade securities, and high-yield/high-risk securities are generally considered to be speculative. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Foreign Investing Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Foreign Investing 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. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Currency Rate Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Currency Rate Risk: Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect the value of the fund’s shares. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Emerging Market Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Emerging Market Risk: Emerging markets securities may be more volatile, or more greatly affected by negative conditions, than those of their counterparts in more established foreign markets. Such securities may also be subject to Sanctions Risk. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Sanctions Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Sanctions Risk: The imposition of sanctions and other similar measures could cause a decline in the value and/or liquidity of securities issued by or tied to the sanctioned country and increase market volatility and disruption in the sanctioned country and throughout the world. Sanctions and other similar measures could limit or prevent the fund from buying and selling securities (in the sanctioned country and other markets), significantly delay or prevent the settlement of transactions, and negatively impact the fund’s liquidity and performance. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Market Volatility Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Market Volatility Risk: The value of the securities in the fund may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies and/or general economic conditions. Price changes may be short- or long-term. Local, regional or global events such as war or military conflict (e.g., Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), geopolitical risk, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, or the threat or potential of one or more such events and developments, could have a significant impact on the fund and its investments, including hampering the ability of the fund’s portfolio manager(s) to invest the fund’s assets as intended. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Bank Loan Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Bank Loan Risk: In addition to the risks typically associated with high-yield/high-risk fixed income securities, bank loans may be unsecured or not fully collateralized, may be subject to restrictions on resale, may be less liquid and may trade infrequently on the secondary market. Bank loans settle on a delayed basis; thus, sale proceeds may not be available to meet redemptions for a substantial period of time after the sale of the loan. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Illiquid and Restricted Securities Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Illiquid and Restricted Securities Risk: Certain securities in which the fund invests may be difficult to sell at the time and price beneficial to the fund, for example due to low trading volumes or legal restrictions. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Income Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Income Risk: Income received from the fund may vary widely over the short- and long-term and/or be less than anticipated if the proceeds from maturing securities in the fund are reinvested in lower-yielding securities. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Prepayment/Call Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Prepayment/Call Risk: Issuers may prepay or call their fixed rate obligations when interest rates fall, forcing the fund to reinvest in obligations with lower interest rates and the fund may not benefit fully from the increase in value that other fixed income investments experience when interest rates decline. |
||||
| Virtus Seix High Yield MACS | Large Shareholder Risk | ||||||
| Risk/Return: | oef_RiskReturnAbstract | |||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | > Large Shareholder Risk: Certain account holders, including the subadviser or funds or accounts over which the subadviser has investment discretion, may from time to time own or control a significant percentage of the fund’s shares. The fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by large shareholders of all or a portion of their fund shares or a purchase of fund shares in large amounts and/or on a frequent basis, including as a result of asset allocation decisions made by the subadviser, will adversely affect the fund’s performance if it is forced to sell portfolio securities or invest cash when the subadviser would not otherwise choose to do so. This risk will be particularly pronounced if one shareholder owns a substantial portion of the fund. Redemptions of a large number of shares may affect the liquidity of the fund’s portfolio, increase the fund’s transaction costs and/or lead to the liquidation of the fund. Such transactions also potentially limit the use of any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any). The effects of taxable gains resulting from large redemptions of fund shares would particularly impact non-redeeming shareholders who do not hold their fund shares in a tax-advantaged or tax-exempt vehicle. |
