| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? For the 12 months ended October 31, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index. U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year basis during the period, quelling recession fears. The Federal Reserve embarked on a rate-cutting cycle toward the end of the period, and the year-over-year rate of consumer price inflation eased to around 2.5%. U.S. stocks posted very strong returns. In an environment where money market yields in excess of 5% paled in comparison with substantial stock gains, having even a modest allocation to cash proved a significant drag on the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s holdings in consumer discretionary and health care also lagged. On the plus side, its holdings in industrials and consumer staples outperformed. The Fund returned about four times as much during the fiscal year as it did on an annualized basis during the past decade. As this disparity suggests, returns won’t always be as generous as recent results. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? For the 12 months ended October 31, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index. U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year basis during the period, quelling recession fears. The Federal Reserve embarked on a rate-cutting cycle toward the end of the period, and the year-over-year rate of consumer price inflation eased to around 2.5%. U.S. stocks posted very strong returns. In an environment where money market yields in excess of 5% paled in comparison to substantial stock gains, the Fund’s allocation to cash—5% of assets, on average—proved a significant drag on relative performance. The Fund’s holdings in the information technology and health care sectors also contributed to underperformance. Its holdings in materials helped results the most. The Fund’s return for the 12 months was much larger (by a factor of three) than its 10-year annualized return. As this disparity suggests, markets will not always be generous. Long-term shareholders should expect periods of lower or negative returns. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? For the 12 months ended October 31, 2024, the Fund performed roughly in line with its benchmark, the Bloomberg USD Emerging Markets Government RIC Capped Index. Global economic growth appeared relatively stable at around 3% during the period, and U.S. recession fears faded. With inflation continuing to moderate across much of the world, major central banks including the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the U.S. Federal Reserve began lowering policy rates. Stocks and bonds worldwide recorded strong returns. Amid these conditions, U.S. dollar-denominated emerging-market debt posted double-digit returns across almost all countries, sectors, maturities, and credit ratings. Among the 10 largest countries in the index by market value, returns ranged from 8% for bonds issued by South Korea to 120% for those issued by Argentina. Combined, the two countries accounted for more than 8% of the index. At period-end, the Fund’s 30-day SEC yield net of expenses—a proxy for its income-generating potential over 12 months—was about 6.3%. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? For the 12 months ended October 31, 2024, the Fund performed roughly in line with its benchmark, the Bloomberg USD Emerging Markets Government RIC Capped Index. Global economic growth appeared relatively stable at around 3% during the period, and U.S. recession fears faded. With inflation continuing to moderate across much of the world, major central banks including the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the U.S. Federal Reserve began lowering policy rates. Stocks and bonds worldwide recorded strong returns. Amid these conditions, U.S. dollar-denominated emerging-market debt posted double-digit returns across almost all countries, sectors, maturities, and credit ratings. Among the 10 largest countries in the index by market value, returns ranged from 8% for bonds issued by South Korea to 120% for those issued by Argentina. Combined, the two countries accounted for more than 8% of the index. At period-end, the Fund’s 30-day SEC yield net of expenses—a proxy for its income-generating potential over 12 months—was about 6.3%. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? For the 12 months ended October 31, 2024, the Fund underperformed its expense-free benchmark, the FTSE Global All Cap Index (USD Hedged). Global economic growth appeared relatively stable at around 3% during the period, and U.S. recession fears faded. With inflation continuing to moderate across much of the world, major central banks including the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the U.S. Federal Reserve began lowering policy rates. Global stocks posted very strong returns. All major regions detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s U.S. holdings, which account for more than 50% of its assets, detracted most. Just three of the Fund’s 11 sectors contributed positively to relative performance: energy, materials, and consumer discretionary. Strong selection in energy helped most. Information technology and industrials detracted most, mainly because of weak selection. The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation with lower volatility relative to the global equity market. The Fund’s average volatility for the 12 months was about 25% less than that of its benchmark. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? For the 12 months ended October 31, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P Global Ex-U.S. Dividend Growers Index. This was largely because of differences in the price of securities used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value and the quoted published prices for the same securities. This practice is known as fair-value pricing. Global economic growth appeared relatively stable at around 3% during the period, and U.S. recession fears faded. With inflation continuing to moderate across much of the world, major central banks including the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the U.S. Federal Reserve began lowering policy rates. Global stocks posted very strong returns. In the Fund’s benchmark, Europe—which accounts for almost half the index’s weighting—contributed most to the index’s performance, followed by the Pacific region and North America. By sector, health care, industrials, technology, and financials contributed most to returns. |

Global stocks posted very strong returns. Although other regions had higher returns in the fund’s benchmark index, Europe contributed the most to performance because of its larger weighting. By sector, financials accounted for roughly half the index’s returns. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? For the period from its inception on November 15, 2023, through the end of its first fiscal year on October 31, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P International Developed Dividend Growers Index NTR. For the 12 months ended October 31, global economic growth appeared relatively stable at around 3%, and U.S. recession fears faded. With inflation continuing to moderate across much of the world, major central banks including the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the U.S. Federal Reserve began lowering policy rates. Global stocks posted very strong returns. In absolute terms, the Fund’s returns for the near-fiscal-year period were solid across regions and most industrial sectors. However, its stock selection in Europe lagged that of the benchmark, severely hampering relative returns. By sector, selection in financials and information technology were the biggest detractors from relative performance. The Fund, which is actively managed, primarily seeks a growing dividend income stream from international stocks. Its investment mandate is similar to that of Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund, which focuses on domestic stocks. |
