This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio’s Total Annual Operating Expenses remain the same. Although your actual cost may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your cost would be:

The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” investments in its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Portfolio shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Total Annual Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s turnover was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

|
| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] |
oef_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock |
Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily (i.e., at least 80% of its net assets) in securities of issuers domiciled or, in the view of the Specialist Manager, deemed to be doing material amounts of business (for example, deriving at least 50% of their revenue) in countries determined by the Specialist Manager to have a developing or emerging economy or securities market. In the unlikely event that a change in this investment policy is adopted by the Board of Trustees, shareholders will receive at least 60 days prior written notice before such change is implemented. Typically 80% of the Portfolio’s net assets will be invested in equity securities, equity swaps, structured equity notes, equity linked notes and depositary receipts of issuers domiciled or, in the view of the Specialist Manager, deemed to be doing material amounts of business in emerging market countries. The Portfolio, a diversified investment company, invests primarily in the Morgan Stanley Capital International® Emerging Markets Index (“MSCI EM Index”) countries. As the MSCI EM Index introduces new emerging market countries, the Portfolio may include those countries among the countries in which it may invest. In determining securities in which to invest, the Portfolio’s management team will evaluate the countries’ economic and political climates with prospects for sustained macro and micro economic growth. The Portfolio may invest more in China than certain other emerging markets countries. The Portfolio’s management team will take into account traditional securities valuation methods, including (but not limited to) an analysis of price in relation to assets, earnings, cash flows, projected earnings growth, inflation and interest rates. Liquidity and transaction costs will also be considered. The Portfolio may also invest in companies of any market capitalization. The Portfolio may invest in securities issued by other investment companies, including ETFs, that invest in securities issued by companies domiciled or deemed to be doing material amounts of business
in countries that have a developing or emerging economy or securities market. The Portfolio may be managed using an “active” investment approach and/or a “passive” investment approach designed to approximate as closely as practicable, before expenses, the performance of either the Portfolio’s benchmark index or, from time to time, one or more identifiable subsets or other portions of that index. The relative weighting of these two approaches may vary anywhere from 0% to 100% of the Portfolio’s assets at any given time.
The Portfolio is authorized to operate on a multi-manager basis. This means that a single Portfolio may be managed by more than one Specialist Manager. The multi-manager structure is generally designed to provide investors access to broadly diversified investment styles. The Trust seeks to engage skilled Specialist Managers to provide a broad exposure to the relevant asset class and returns in excess of the Portfolio’s benchmark over time.
Consistent with their respective investment styles, the Portfolio’s Specialist Managers may use instruments such as option or futures contracts in order to hedge against investment risks, seek to efficiently obtain or adjust exposure to certain securities or groups of securities, or otherwise to increase returns. The Portfolio may also write (sell) call options and put options, in order to receive premiums, on individual securities, stock market indexes, and/or on substitutes for such indexes, which may include futures contracts or ETFs. The Portfolio normally writes covered call and put options which have an initial maturity of up to nine months and that are “out of the money” at the time of initiation such that the call options sold generally will be above the current price level of the index when written and the exercise price of put options sold generally will be below the current price level of the index when written. In accordance with applicable interpretations of the SEC, certain derivative instruments may be counted as equity securities for purposes of the Portfolio’s policies regarding investments in equity securities, to the extent that such derivative instruments have economic characteristics similar to those of equity securities.

• | Multi-Manager Risk – the Portfolio’s multi-manager structure involves the risk that the Specialist Managers serving the Portfolio do not achieve favorable investment results relative to other investments or that the Portfolio’s assets are not effectively allocated among Specialist Managers in a manner that enhances the Portfolio’s total return or reduces the volatility that might be expected of any one management style. Additionally, the multi-manager structure may, under certain circumstances, cause the Portfolio to incur higher trading costs than might occur in a fund served by a single investment adviser. |

• | Passive Investing Risk – the Portfolio may employ a passive investment approach, which attempts to approximate as closely as practicable, before expenses, the performance of either the Portfolio’s benchmark index, or one or more identifiable subsets or other portions of that index as deemed appropriate by the Adviser, regardless of the current or projected performance of a specific security or a particular industry or market sector. Maintaining investments in securities regardless of market conditions or the performance of individual securities could cause the Portfolio’s return to be lower than if the Portfolio employed an active strategy. In addition, the Portfolio’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the target investment pool due to operating expenses, transaction costs, and cash flows. |
Additionally, the range of securities in which the Portfolio may invest, and the several investment strategies that may be used in seeking to achieve the Portfolio’s objective, involve additional risks. These are summarized below.

• | China Risk – In addition to the risks listed above under “Emerging Market Securities,” investing in China presents additional risks including confiscatory taxation, nationalization, exchange control regulations (including currency blockage) and differing legal standards. The Chinese government could, at any time, alter or discontinue economic reform programs implemented since 1978. Chinese authorities may intervene in the China securities market and halt or suspend trading of securities for short or even longer periods of time. Recently, the China securities market has experienced considerable volatility and been subject to relatively frequent and extensive trading halts and suspensions. These trading halts and suspensions have, among other things, contributed to uncertainty in the markets and reduced the liquidity of the securities subject to such trading halts and suspensions, which could include securities held by a Portfolio. |

• | Risks Associated with Investments in Derivatives. The Portfolio is permitted to invest in derivative instruments, including options, futures and options on futures, swaps, structured notes and currency forwards. Investment in derivatives depends largely on the performance of an |
underlying reference instrument or rate and the Specialist Manager’s ability to predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and/or other economic factors. Derivatives involve additional costs and often have risks similar to an investment in the reference instrument in addition to other risks, such as: |

|
| Risk [Text Block] |
oef_RiskTextBlock |
• | General Derivative Risks – Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The Portfolio’s exposure to derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other investments. The underlying security, measure or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform as expected, and hedging positions may not correlate closely with the instruments or exposures being hedged. Normally derivatives involve leverage, which means that their use can significantly magnify the effect of price movements of the underlying securities or reference measures, disproportionately increasing the Portfolio’s losses and reducing the Portfolio’s opportunities for gains. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, including a loss that may be greater than the amount invested. Derivatives also present default risks if the counterparty to a derivatives contract fails to fulfill its obligations to the Portfolio. Certain derivatives held by the Portfolio may be illiquid, including non-exchange-traded or over-the-counter derivatives that are linked to illiquid instruments or illiquid markets, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivatives also may be more difficult to purchase, sell or value than other instruments. Derivatives risk may be more significant when derivatives are used to enhance return or as a substitute for a cash investment position, rather than solely to hedge the risk of a position held by the Portfolio. |

• | Counterparty Risk – The Portfolio will be subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to derivative contracts entered into by the Portfolio or held by special purpose or structured vehicles in which the Portfolio invests, including other investment companies. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Portfolio may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The Portfolio may obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. |

• | Derivatives Tax Risk – Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may be less tax efficient. In addition, changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Portfolio’s taxable income or gains, and may limit or prevent the Portfolio’s use of certain derivative instruments, which could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Portfolio to change its investment strategy. These rules may: (i) affect whether gains and losses recognized by the Portfolio are treated as ordinary or capital or as short-term or long-term, (ii) accelerate the recognition of income or gains to the Portfolio, (iii) defer losses to the Portfolio, and (iv) cause adjustments in the holding periods of the Portfolio’s securities. The Portfolio’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Portfolio as a regulated investment company. |

• | Options Risk – Purchasing and writing put and call options are specialized activities that may entail greater-than-ordinary investment risks and are considered speculative. An option gives the purchaser, in exchange for a premium, the right, but not the obligation, to buy (a “call option”) or sell (a “put option”) an underlying security or futures contract – or receive a cash settlement based on an underlying asset, rate or index – at a specified price during a specified period or on a specified date. When the Portfolio writes an option, it retains the premium if the option expires unexercised but may incur a net loss if the cost of satisfying its obligations exceeds the premium received. A written call option exposes the Portfolio to the risk that it will be required to sell the underlying instrument below its market value, while a written put option exposes the Portfolio to |
the risk that it will be required to purchase the underlying instrument above its market value. When the Portfolio purchases an option, it may lose some or all of the premium if the underlying instrument does not move sufficiently in the anticipated direction, including the entire premium if the option expires without being sold or exercised. Options written on instruments intended to replicate an index present the same risks, and those instruments may not closely track the index. |

• | Options Writing Strategy Risk – if the underlying index appreciates or depreciates sufficiently over the period to offset the new premium received from the written option on that index, a net loss will result. In addition, the Portfolio may write options on index substitutes, which are subject to the same risks as index options. The value of the index substitute is subject to change as the values of the component securities fluctuate and the performance of the index substitute may not exactly match the performance of the index. |

• | Futures Risk – there can be no assurance that price movements in the futures markets will correlate with the prices of the underlying securities positions. Additionally, price distortions could result if investors in the futures markets opt to make or take delivery of the underlying securities rather than engage in closing transactions because such trend might result in a reduction in the liquidity of the futures market. Further, an increase in the participation of speculators in the futures market could cause temporary price distortions. |
