|---|---|
| Interest Rate Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Interest Rate Risk. Prices of fixed-income securities generally fall when interest rates rise. The longer the duration of a fixed-income security, the more susceptible it is to interest-rate risk. Recent and potential future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments are likely to affect the level of interest rates. |
| Issuer Credit Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Issuer Credit Risk. It is possible that interest or principal on securities will not be paid when due. Such non-payment or default may reduce the value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, its share price and its performance. |
| Counterparty Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction involving the Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause the Fund to lose money or to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent the Fund from selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategy. |
| Prepayment and Extension Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Prepayment and Extension Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed securities which may be subject to prepayment risk. If interest rates fall, and unscheduled prepayments on such securities accelerate, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates then available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of asset-backed securities may not rise to as great an extent as that of other fixed-income securities. When interest rates rise, the price of asset-backed securities may decrease more than the price of other fixed-income securities when interest rates rise. |
| Call Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Call Risk. Call risk is the possibility that an issuer may redeem a fixed-income security before maturity (a “call”) at a price below its current market price. An increase in the likelihood of a call may reduce the security’s price. |
| Liquidity Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will experience significant net redemptions of Fund Shares at a time when it cannot find willing buyers for its portfolio securities or can only sell its portfolio securities at a material loss. |
| Risk Related to the Economy [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Risk Related to the Economy. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decline in tandem with a drop in the overall value of the markets in which the Fund invests and/or other markets. Global economic, political and financial conditions, including geopolitical events and other tensions, wars, sanctions and terrorism, government shutdowns, cybersecurity events, bank failures, elevated levels of public debt and deficits, legislative changes or shifts in fiscal or monetary policy or reform, industry or economic trends and developments, grid congestion or capacity constraints, labor strikes and supply chain disruptions, technological developments, natural disasters or public health risks, such as epidemics or pandemics, may, from time to time and for varying periods of time, have a significant effect on the economies of many nations, including the U.S., and financial markets generally and cause the Fund to experience volatility, illiquidity, loss of value, shareholder redemptions and/or other potentially adverse effects. Among other investments, lower-grade bonds may be particularly sensitive to changes in the economy. |
| Asset Backed Securities ABS Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) Risk. The value of asset-backed securities (ABS) may be affected by certain factors such as interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk and the availability of information concerning the pool of underlying assets and its structure. Under certain market conditions, ABS may be less liquid and may be difficult to value. Movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain types of ABS. ABS can also be subject to the risk of default on the underlying assets. |
| Risk of Foreign Investing [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Risk of Foreign Investing. Because the Fund invests in securities issued by foreign companies, the Fund may be more affected by foreign economic and political conditions, taxation policies and accounting and auditing standards than would otherwise be the case. |
| Credit Enhancement Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Credit Enhancement Risk. The securities in which the Fund invests may be subject to credit enhancement (for example, guarantees, letters of credit or bond insurance). If the credit quality of the credit enhancement provider (for example, a bank or bond insurer) is downgraded, the rating on a security credit enhanced by such credit enhancement provider also may be downgraded. Having multiple securities credit enhanced by the same enhancement provider will increase the adverse effects on the Fund that are likely to result from a downgrading of, or a default by, such an enhancement provider. Adverse developments in the banking and bond insurance industries also may negatively affect the Fund. |
| Concentration Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Concentration Risk. Because the Fund concentrates its investments in one industry, its performance depends in large part on the performance of that industry. As a result, the value of an investment may fluctuate more widely since it is more susceptible to market, economic, political, regulatory, and other conditions and risks affecting that industry than a fund that invests more broadly across industries and sectors. |
| Large Shareholder Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Large Shareholder Risk. A significant percentage of the Fund’s shares may be owned or controlled by a large shareholder, such as other funds or accounts, including those of which the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser may have investment discretion. Accordingly, the Fund can be subject to the potential for large scale inflows and outflows as a result of purchases and redemptions made by significant shareholders. These inflows and outflows could be significant and, if frequently occurring, could negatively affect the Fund’s net asset value and performance and could cause the Fund to buy or sell securities at inopportune times in order to meet purchase or redemption requests. Investments in the Fund by other investment companies also can create conflicts of interests for the Adviser to the Fund and the investment adviser to the acquiring fund. For example, a conflict of interest can arise due to the possibility that the investment adviser to the acquiring fund could make a decision to redeem the acquiring fund’s investment in the Fund. In the case of an investment by an affiliated fund, a conflict of interest can arise if, because of the acquiring fund’s investment in the Fund, the Fund is able to garner more assets from third-party investors, thereby growing the Fund and increasing the management fees received by the Adviser, which could also be the investment adviser to the acquiring fund. |
| Exchange Traded Funds Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange traded) that has the same investment objectives, strategies and policies. The price of an ETF can fluctuate up or down, and the Fund could lose money investing in an ETF if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down. |
| Technology Risk [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | Technology Risk. The Adviser uses various technologies in managing the Fund, consistent with its investment objective(s) and strategy described in this Prospectus. For example, proprietary and third-party data and systems are utilized to support decision making for the Fund. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems, which may negatively affect Fund performance. |
| Risk Lose Money [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. |
| Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member] | |
| Prospectus [Line Items] | |
| Risk [Text Block] | The Shares offered by this Prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. |
