| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. The
Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the Funds net asset value and performance.
The
following risks apply to the Fund through its direct investments as well as indirectly through investments in ETFs and the Subsidiary.
| ● | Management
Risk: The Sub-Advisers and Futures Trading Advisers judgments about the
attractiveness, value and potential appreciation or depreciation of a particular instrument
in which the Fund invests may prove to be inaccurate and may not produce the desired results.
The Advisers assessment of the Sub-Advisers and Futures Trading Advisers
investment qualifications may also prove to be inaccurate and may not produce the desired
results. |
| ● | Equity
Securities Risk: The prices of common stocks can fall rapidly in response to developments
affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.
Growth stocks and dividend stocks may underperform the market as a whole. |
| ● | Futures
Risk: Futures are subject to inherent leverage that magnifies Fund losses. Futures may
not provide an effective substitute for their reference asset or index because changes in
futures prices may not track those of the underlying reference asset or index. |
| ○ | Currency
Futures Risk: Foreign currency contracts subject the Fund to currency trading risks that
include market risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange
rates. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency. |
| ○ | Debt
Futures Risk: Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of debt
futures. Current conditions may result in a rise in interest rates, which in turn may result
in a decline in the value of the debt futures held by the Fund. |
| ○ | Equity
Futures Risk: Equity futures are subject to general market risks and may not track the
equity indices for which they are intended to serve as substitutes. |
| ○ | Energy
Futures Risk: Energy prices may be adversely affected by fluctuating commodity prices,
weather, increased conservation or use of alternative fuel sources, increased governmental
or environmental regulation, depletion of fuel sources, interest rates, declines in domestic
or foreign production, accidents or catastrophic events, and economic conditions. |
| ○ | Metals
Futures Risk: Precious and industrial metals prices may be susceptible to financial,
economic, political or market events, as well as government regulation, impacting the production
costs of these metals. Precious metal prices may become volatile when they serve as a substitute
for currencies. |
| ○ | Agriculture
Commodity Futures Risk: Investing in the commodities markets through futures may subject
the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Commodity prices
may be influenced by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geological and environmental
factors as well as changes in government regulation such as tariffs, embargoes or burdensome
production rules and restrictions. |
| ● | ETF
Risk: Investments in ETFs may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other
expenses. By investing in an ETF, the Fund becomes a shareholder thereof. As a result, Fund
shareholders indirectly bear the Funds proportionate share of the fees and expenses
paid by shareholders of the ETFs, in addition to the fees and expenses Fund shareholders
directly bear in connection with the Funds own operations. If the ETFs fail to achieve
their investment objectives, the value of the Funds investment will decline, adversely
affecting the Funds performance. In addition, ETF shares potentially may trade at
a discount or a premium and are subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could
result in greater expenses to the Fund. Finally, because the value of ETF shares depends
on the demand in the market, the Sub-Adviser may not be able to liquidate the Funds
holdings in those shares at the most optimal time, adversely affecting the Funds performance. |
| ● | Market
Risk: The Funds investments will decline in value if the price of equities or
futures contracts declines. Overall securities or futures market risks may affect the value
of individual Fund holdings. Factors such as foreign and domestic economic growth and market
conditions, interest rate levels, and political events may adversely affect the equity and
fixed income securities markets and futures markets. |
Overall
investment market risks affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and
political events affect the US and international investment markets. Additionally, unexpected local, regional or global events, such
as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread of infectious
illnesses or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)); and recessions and depressions
could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and may impair market liquidity. Such events can cause investor fear,
which can adversely affect the economies of nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen.
| ● | Short
Position Risk: Short positions are designed to profit from a decline in the price of
particular futures contracts. The Fund will lose value if and when the futures price
rises, a result that is the opposite from traditional mutual funds. Positions in short futures
are more risky than long positions because the cost of buying back the futures
contracts is unknown. |
| ● | Small
and Medium Capitalization Stock Risk: The value of small or medium capitalization company
stocks may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than larger, more established
companies or the market averages in general. |
| ● | Taxation
Risk: By investing in certain futures contracts indirectly through the Subsidiary, the
Fund will obtain exposure to these contracts within the federal tax requirements that apply
to the Fund. However, because the Subsidiary is a controlled foreign corporation, any income
received from its investments will be passed through to the Fund as ordinary income, which
may be taxed at less favorable rates than capital gains. |
| ● | Turnover
Risk: A higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage costs.
The Funds turnover rate is expected to be above 100% annually. |
| ● | Wholly
Owned Subsidiary Risk: Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands,
under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the
inability of the Fund and/or Subsidiary to operate as described in this Prospectus and could
negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. Your cost of investing in the Fund will
be higher because you indirectly bear the expenses of the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is not
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), as amended,
and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all of the investor protections
of the 1940 Act, such as limits on leverage when viewed in isolation from the Fund. |
