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 40% of the average value of its portfolio.

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 Narrative [Text Block] oef_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in emerging markets debt investments and derivatives that have economic characteristics of emerging markets debt investments (collectively, “EMD Investments”).

EMD Investments are debt instruments, including loans, issued by corporations or other business organizations that are economically tied to an emerging market country, and sovereign or quasi-sovereign debt instruments economically tied to an emerging market country. EMD Investments also include derivative instruments used for hedging purposes or to otherwise gain or reduce long or short exposure to EMD Investments. For example, the fund may utilize futures or other derivatives whose return is based on specific EMD Investments or indices of such investments.

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. A corporation or other business organization is economically tied to an emerging market country if it issues securities that are principally traded on the country’s securities markets or if it is organized or principally operates in the country, derives a majority of its income from its operations within the country or has a majority of its assets within the country.

“Sovereign” refers to a government and “quasi-sovereign” refers to a governmental agency, political subdivision or other instrumentality or issuer that is majority owned, directly or indirectly, or whose obligations are guaranteed, by a government. A sovereign or quasi-sovereign debt instrument is economically tied to an emerging market country if it is principally traded on the country’s securities markets or the issuer is organized or principally operates in the country, derives a majority of its income from its operations within the country or has a majority of its assets within the country.

Although the fund is not limited in the types of derivatives it can use, the fund currently expects that its derivatives investments will consist primarily of the following instruments and transactions: futures, options, swaps, credit linked notes and credit default swaps. The fund may use derivatives to a significant extent. The fund’s investments may be denominated in non-U.S. currencies or in the U.S. dollar.

The fund considers “emerging market countries” to include countries identified by the World Bank Group as not being “high income economies” or which are included in a JPMorgan emerging market bond index. It is anticipated that the fund will focus most of its investments in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and/or the developing countries of Europe. The fund’s investments may include, among other things, corporate debt securities, sovereign debt securities, structured notes, convertible securities, securities issued by supranational organizations, fixed and floating rate commercial loans, loan participations and assignments, private placements, Rule 144A securities, non-U.S. currencies, forward currency contracts and other foreign currency transactions and derivatives related to the types of investments listed herein. The fund seeks capital appreciation through country selection, issuer selection, industry selection, security selection and currency selection.

The fund may invest in securities of any credit rating (including unrated securities) and may invest without limit in higher risk, below-investment grade debt securities, commonly referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds.” Such securities may include those that are in default with respect to the payment of principal or interest.

The subadviser normally maintains an average portfolio duration of between 2 and 7 years. However, the fund’s average duration may be outside this range, and the fund may invest in securities of any duration and maturity. Duration measures the interest rate sensitivity of a fixed income security. Generally, the longer the maturity the greater the duration and, therefore, the greater effect interest rate changes have on the price of the security. Typically, for a fund maintaining a modified adjusted duration of 3.5 years, for example, a one percent increase in interest rates would cause a 3.5% decrease in the value of the fund’s fixed income assets. Similarly, a one percent decrease in interest rates typically would cause the value of the fund’s fixed income assets to increase by 3.5%.

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 Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD MACS | Counterparty Risk  
Risk/Return: oef_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] oef_RiskTextBlock

> Counterparty Risk: There is risk that a party upon whom the fund relies to complete a transaction will default.

Virtus Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD MACS | Derivatives Risk  
Risk/Return: oef_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] oef_RiskTextBlock

> Derivatives Risk: Derivatives and other similar instruments (collectively referred to in this section as “derivatives”) may include, among other things, futures, options, forwards, and swap agreements, and may be used in order to hedge portfolio risks, create leverage or attempt to increase returns. Investments in derivatives may result in increased volatility and the fund may incur a loss greater than its principal investment.

Virtus Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD MACS | Credit Default Swaps Risk  
Risk/Return: oef_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] oef_RiskTextBlock

> Credit Default Swaps Risk: Credit default swaps are subject to the credit risk of the underlying reference obligation and to counterparty credit risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the fund may lose money. Credit default swaps are also subject to the risk that the fund’s subadviser will not properly assess the risk of the underlying reference obligation. If the fund is selling credit protection, there is a risk that a credit event will occur and the fund will have to pay the counterparty. If the fund is buying credit protection, there is a risk that no credit event will occur and the fund will receive no benefit for the premium paid. Credit default swaps may be difficult to value and may result in increased volatility, and the fund may incur a loss greater than its principal investment.

Virtus Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD 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.

Virtus Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD 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 Stone Harbor EMD MACS | Private Placement Risk  
Risk/Return: oef_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] oef_RiskTextBlock

> Private Placement Risk: Private placements may have limited liquidity and/or be difficult to value. As a result, the fund may have difficulty selling these securities and may incur losses to the fund.

Virtus Stone Harbor EMD MACS | Short-Term Investments Risk  
Risk/Return: oef_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] oef_RiskTextBlock

> Short-Term Investments Risk: The fund’s short-term investments may not provide the liquidity or protection intended or may prevent the fund from experiencing positive movements in the fund’s principal investment strategies.

Virtus Stone Harbor EMD MACS | Sovereign, Quasi-sovereign and Supranational Debt Risk  
Risk/Return: oef_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] oef_RiskTextBlock

> Sovereign, Quasi-sovereign and Supranational Debt Risk: Investing in foreign government obligations, debt obligations of supranational entities and the sovereign debt of foreign countries creates exposure to the direct or indirect consequences of political, social or economic changes in the countries that issue the securities or in which the issuers are located. A governmental entity may delay, refuse or be unable to pay interest or principal on its debt due to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, the relative size of the governmental entity’s debt position in relation to the economy or the failure to put in place economic reforms. There may be no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt. Emerging markets countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems that are less fully developed and are less stable than those of more advanced countries.

Virtus Stone Harbor EMD MACS | Structured Products Risk  
Risk/Return: oef_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] oef_RiskTextBlock

> Structured Products Risk: The risk that, in addition to the general risks associated with investing in debt instruments, the fund’s exposure to certain risks -- such as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and market volatility risk -- will be different or greater as a result of investing through structured products.

Neither the fund’s investment adviser nor the fund’s subadviser charges a management fee to the fund. Shareholders should be aware, however, that the fund is an integral part of separately managed account programs, and the fund’s investment adviser, the fund’s subadviser or their affiliates will be compensated directly or indirectly by separately managed account program sponsors or program participants for managed account advisory services.

[2]

The fund’s subadviser has contractually agreed to limit the fund’s total operating expenses (excluding certain expenses, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges, taxes (federal, state or otherwise), tax reclaim expenses, leverage and borrowing expenses (such as commitment, amendment and renewal expenses on credit or redemption facilities), interest, brokerage commissions, depositary receipt program fees, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, expenses incurred in connection with any meeting of the fund's shareholders, unusual or infrequently occurring expenses, litigation expenses (including expenses for responding to document requests for litigation to which the fund is not a party), acquired fund fees and expenses, and dividend expenses, if any) so that such expenses do not exceed 0.00% indefinitely. Only the fund’s Board may modify or terminate the expense limitation agreement.
