| 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 or hold 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 fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The example reflects the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement described above (if any) through the expiration of such waiver and/or reimbursement and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. You may be required to pay brokerage commissions on your purchases and sales of Class F-2, F-3, 529-F-2 or 529-F-3 shares of the fund, which are not reflected in the example. |

| 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 investment results. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 65% of the average value of its portfolio. |

| Portfolio Turnover, Rate | oef_PortfolioTurnoverRate | 65.00% | ||||||
| Strategy [Heading] | oef_StrategyHeading | Principal investment strategies | ||||||
| Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | oef_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock | Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks and other equity-type securities of small and mid-capitalization companies in the United States. For purposes of this policy, equity-type securities are securities that exhibit ownership characteristics, including common and preferred stock, securities convertible into common and preferred stock and depository receipts representing ownership in common and preferred stock. The investment adviser currently defines “small and mid-capitalization companies” to be companies whose market capitalizations typically fall within the range of the Russell 2500 Index or the Russell Midcap Index. As of June 30, 2026, the largest company for the Russell 2500 Index had a market capitalization of approximately $30.6 billion and the largest company for the Russell Midcap Index had a market capitalization of approximately $92.7 billion. The market capitalization of the companies included in the Russell 2500 Index and the Russell Midcap Index will change with market conditions. The fund strives to maintain a fully invested portfolio. The fund is nondiversified, which allows it to invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than would otherwise be the case. The investment adviser uses a system of multiple portfolio managers in managing the fund’s assets. Under this approach, a portfolio is divided into segments managed by individual managers. For more information regarding the investment process of the fund, see the “Management and organization” section of this prospectus. The fund relies on the professional judgment of its investment adviser to make decisions about the fund’s portfolio investments. The basic investment philosophy of the investment adviser is to seek to invest in attractively valued companies that, in its opinion, represent good, long-term investment opportunities. Securities may be sold when the investment adviser believes that they no longer represent relatively attractive investment opportunities. |

| American Funds U.S. Small & Mid Cap Equity Fund | Market conditions [Member] | ||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | oef_ProspectusLineItems | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Market conditions — The prices of, and the income generated by, the securities held by the fund may decline – sometimes rapidly or unpredictably – due to various factors, including events or conditions affecting the general economy or particular industries or companies; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; governmental, governmental agency or central bank responses to economic conditions; levels of public debt and deficits; changes in inflation rates; and currency exchange rate, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are highly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, wars, terrorism, cybersecurity events, natural disasters, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious disease), bank failures and other circumstances in one country or region, including actions taken by governmental or quasi-governmental authorities in response to any of the foregoing, could have impacts on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries affected, the value and liquidity of the fund’s investments may be negatively affected by developments in other countries and regions. |

| American Funds U.S. Small & Mid Cap Equity Fund | Issuer risks [Member] | ||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | oef_ProspectusLineItems | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Issuer risks — The prices of, and the income generated by, securities held by the fund may decline in response to various factors directly related to the issuers of such securities, including reduced demand for an issuer’s goods or services, poor management performance, major litigation, investigations or other controversies related to the issuer, changes in the issuer’s financial condition or credit rating, changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or its competitive environment and strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions or dispositions and the market response to any such initiatives. An individual security may also be affected by factors relating to the industry or sector of the issuer or the securities markets as a whole, and conversely an industry or sector or the securities markets may be affected by a change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer. |

| American Funds U.S. Small & Mid Cap Equity Fund | Investing in small and mid-capitalization companies [Member] | ||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | oef_ProspectusLineItems | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Investing in small and mid-capitalization companies — Investing in small and mid-capitalization companies may pose additional risks. For example, it is often more difficult to value or dispose of smaller company stocks and more difficult to obtain information about smaller companies than about larger companies. Furthermore, smaller companies often have limited product lines, operating histories, markets and/or financial resources, may be dependent on one or a few key persons for management, and can be more susceptible to losses. Moreover, the prices of their stocks may be more volatile than stocks of larger, more established companies, particularly during times of market turmoil. These risks can affect small- and mid-capitalization companies differently and may be greater for small-capitalization companies, which are typically less established and/or resourced than mid-capitalization companies. |
||||||
| American Funds U.S. Small & Mid Cap Equity Fund | Liquidity risk [Member] | ||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | oef_ProspectusLineItems | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Liquidity risk — Certain fund holdings may be or may become difficult or impossible to sell, particularly during times of market turmoil. Liquidity may be impacted by the lack of an active market for a holding, legal or contractual restrictions on resale, or the reduced number and capacity of market participants to make a market in such holding. Market prices for less liquid or illiquid holdings may be volatile or difficult to determine, and reduced liquidity may have an adverse impact on the market price of such holdings. Additionally, the sale of less liquid or illiquid holdings may involve substantial delays (including delays in settlement) and additional costs and the fund may be unable to sell such holdings when necessary to meet its liquidity needs or to try to limit losses, or may be forced to sell at a loss. |
||||||
| American Funds U.S. Small & Mid Cap Equity Fund | Risk Nondiversified Status [Member] | ||||||||
| Prospectus [Line Items] | oef_ProspectusLineItems | |||||||
| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Nondiversification — As a nondiversified fund, the fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than a diversified fund. A fund that invests in a relatively smaller number of issuers is more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political, geographic or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund might be. In addition, poor performance by a single issuer could adversely affect fund performance more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of issuers. The value of the fund’s shares can be expected to fluctuate more than might be the case if the fund were more broadly diversified. |

| Risk [Text Block] | oef_RiskTextBlock | Management — The investment adviser to the fund actively manages the fund’s investments. Consequently, the fund is subject to the risk that the methods and analyses, including models, tools and data, employed by the investment adviser in this process may be flawed or incorrect and may not produce the desired results. This could cause the fund to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. |
