| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? The AdvisorShares Dorsey Wright ADR ETF (ticker: AADR) finished the fiscal year ended June 30th, 2024, well ahead of its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund was aided by factor tailwinds as momentum strategies across the globe turned in exemplary performances. In the US, for example, momentum was up nearly 40% over the last year and beat the next best factor (quality) by nearly 10%. Performance was consistent and the Fund beat its benchmark each quarter. The second half of 2023 saw international markets perform well despite a 10% pullback in the back half of Q3. Often these pullbacks cause leadership changes as stocks declining by less during the drawdown gain relative strength. This largely did not happen though which allowed momentum strategies across the board to stay invested in areas that continued to demonstrate strength after the pullback. One of those areas was Latin America, where the Fund had an outsized position relative to the benchmark. The first half of 2024 saw a continuation of 2023’s success as there was very little pullback at all and trends related to AI continued to lead the market higher. While the future is unknowable, we feel this resurgence in momentum is not a one hit wonder as studies over time have shown momentum to be the most durable and successful investment factor. The MSCI EAFE Index is an unmanaged free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. | |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the AdvisorShares Dorsey Wright FSM All Cap World ETF (ticker: DWAW) outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Index. The Fund is built on a foundation of momentum and relative strength to select the strongest funds from a universe of broad ETFs that cover size, styles, and global themes. The momentum factor has struggled for a few years before returning to favor in the back half of 2023 and continuing its strong run in the first half of 2024. Market strength was concentrated in just a few names with the lion’s shares of contribution to the S&P 500 Index’s return coming from a handful of names. DWAW was able to capitalize on the narrow market with its exposure to the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) and eventual exposure to the iShares Morningstar Growth ETF (ILCG) both of which were heavily weighted to the few names that drove broad market performance. DWAW picked up exposure to the momentum factor via the iShares MSCI USA Momentum Factor ETF (MTUM) in February which highlights the strength in momentum strategies over the last few quarters. The MSCI All Country World Index is an unmanaged free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? The AdvisorShares Dorsey Wright Short ETF (ticker: DWSH) finished the fiscal year ended June 30th, 2024, well ahead of its benchmark, the inverse of the S&P 500 Index. Downside momentum helped the fund tremendously as laggard stocks have been underperforming. Much of this has come from the fact that the S&P 500’s returns have been dominated by the largest cap stocks. Meanwhile, the smaller cap stocks haven’t performed as well. This has set up opportunities to outperform by shorting these smaller cap stocks while largely avoiding shorts in large caps. The second half of 2023 saw the Fund underperform the benchmark as many of the laggards rebounded sharply off the bottom in October. Despite this, the first half of 2024 provided many opportunities for the Fund to outperform. In fact, while the S&P 500 rallied over 15% in the first half, DWSH managed to post a positive return of 6.67%. Also, currently nearly 20% of the Fund has declined over 40% since we shorted them showing the stark divergence in the market. While it’s hard to say whether this level of outperformance will remain, we know over time these stocks are more likely to have negative outcomes as companies rarely collapse in a positive trend. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. | |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the 12 months ended June 30, 2024, the AdvisorShares Focused Equity ETF (ticker: CWS) gained 16.20% (NAV) and 15.84% (market price). CWS is an exchange-traded fund that aims to provide superior returns through a diversified portfolio of 25 high-quality stocks. The stocks in the portfolio are equally weighted at the start of each year, and no changes are made throughout the year (except for mergers or buyouts). Over the past year, CWS benefitted from a resilient U.S. economy and lower inflation. The Fund’s performance can be impacted by the health of the broader economy and financial market conditions. CWS tends to perform well relative to the broader market when monetary conditions are more restrictive. While this has been an important factor in previous years, it was less so in the past year as the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged. The Fund’s performance can be influenced by geo-political conditions, especially our positions in defense and aerospace companies. Additionally, CWS can be subjected to transient market trends. CWS tends to perform well when high-quality stocks are in favor. The Fund also did well this year as economically cyclical stocks gained favor, and investors foresaw a stronger economy and lower inflation. We continue to be optimistic for the Fund. CWS seeks to invest in companies with very strong balance sheets and lasting competitive advantages. These attributes should help the Fund’s holdings weather whatever comes their way. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? The AdvisorShares Gerber Kawasaki ETF (ticker: GK) had a very solid performance during the past fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. We made significant shifts in our overall allocations, moving away from clean energy investments and into AI-related investments. We see the opportunity in AI as a unique, decade-long investment thesis that will transform our society in many visible and yet-to-be-seen ways. This shift away from large positions like Tesla and into our new top holding, NVIDIA, resulted in much better performance for the Fund over the last 12 months. Despite the Biden administration's focus on clean energy, these investments performed poorly due to high interest rates and poor execution from many of the solar and electric vehicle companies we previously owned. Conversely, our AI investments have performed very well with much higher profits and revenue growth, as well as, in our opinion, significant future potential. We continue to view the clean energy sector as a great opportunity and regularly evaluate investments in that space. However, until there are better conditions for climate-related investments, we have moved it to the sidelines from being a major theme in the Fund. Our primary focus now is on technology and AI, followed by consumer discretionary, healthcare, clean energy (monitoring opportunities), and real estate. We are optimistic about the future and believe we are well-positioned for the Fund to perform well moving forward. We anticipate a lower interest rate environment, which could benefit many of our investments. Thank you for your patience and support over the last several years. We have now had two positive fiscal years in a row with double-digit returns, and we hope to continue this streak well into the future. However, markets are uncertain, and we are actively managing the Fund for opportunities that we see today and in the future. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. | |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? During the past fiscal year, the AdvisorShares Hotel ETF (ticker: BEDZ) achieved a modestly positive return but underperformed the S&P 500 Index. BEDZ's performance is closely tied to the hotel industry, a crucial part of the global travel and tourism sector, including luxury hotels, resorts, budget hotels, and boutique hotels. The industry's performance is influenced by economic conditions, evolving travel trends, technological advancements, and global events. Despite concerns about a potential recession and geopolitical tensions, the sector has shown resilience. Leisure travel thrived, driven by strong consumer confidence and pent-up demand. However, the recovery of business travel was slower, impacting overall growth. Airlines reported increases in passenger numbers and improved load factors, but higher fuel costs and operational challenges limited their profit margins. We remain optimistic about the future growth of the travel sector, supported by increasing interest in diverse destinations, technological advancements, and the impact of baby boomers. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. | |

The Fund’s strategy is designed to follow a group of corporations that are actively buying back their own shares and distributing dividends. SURE has taken advantage of the substantial level of recent buybacks and dividends, offering investors a way to benefit from these corporate actions that, we believe, tend to reward shareholders. SURE invests in companies that have demonstrated a tendency to deliver value back to their shareholders which can suggest robust financial health of a company, as well as management's belief in the company's potential for future growth. Additionally, the Fund has seen a favorable influence from the current disinflationary trend on its performance. Moreover, discrepancies in market dynamics, especially the different performances between large-cap versus mid-and small-cap companies, as well as technology firms compared to other industries, considerably affected the Fund’s results as SURE equally weighs the companies in its portfolio. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. | |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? The AdvisorShares MSOS 2X Daily ETF (ticker: MSOX) aims to offer daily leveraged exposure to the AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (MSOS) in a single trade, catering to sophisticated investors seeking amplified exposure to the U.S. cannabis sector. Over the 12 months ended June 30, 2024, MSOX experienced increasingly negative returns. Due to its leveraged strategy and exclusive focus on the U.S. cannabis industry, MSOX is particularly sensitive to volatility from changes in U.S. cannabis legislation. The Fund’s future performance is expected to be influenced by the evolving regulatory environment, including the expansion of state-by-state cannabis sales and potential Federal reforms. Despite current price levels, we maintain a strong optimistic outlook on the U.S. cannabis market and anticipate favorable changes in U.S. cannabis regulations. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. | |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? The AdvisorShares Psychedelics ETF (ticker: PSIL) recorded negative returns for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Since its inception, the Fund’s performance has been volatile and predominantly negative. Investing in psychedelics is relatively new and highly concentrated, consisting mainly of micro-cap securities. The industry, still in its early stages, is marked by companies primarily engaged in research and development of psychedelic therapies that have yet to gain widespread acceptance or regulation. This leads to significant market fluctuations, driven by shifts in investor sentiment influenced by regulatory updates, clinical trial outcomes, and broader market conditions. Despite the negative performance observed in the past year, we believe psychedelics hold significant potential for long-term investors as legal frameworks are slowly evolving, with several U.S. cities decriminalizing psychedelics and public interest in alternative mental health treatments remaining strong. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. | |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? The AdvisorShares Pure Cannabis ETF (ticker: YOLO) experienced markedly positive returns during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. YOLO’s strong performance aligns with a global trend towards more lenient cannabis regulations, encompassing recreational, medicinal, and decriminalized use. Countries are motivated to eliminate illicit markets, generate tax revenues, improve public health, and address the social consequences of cannabis prohibition. As perceptions of cannabis evolve, more nations are likely to adopt progressive regulatory approaches, similar to the legalization efforts seen in Germany, South Africa, Spain, Portugal, and Malta. Despite current price levels and ongoing volatility, we remain highly optimistic about the global cannabis market. We anticipate significant positive changes, particularly driven by potential shifts in U.S. cannabis regulations, including the possible Federal rescheduling of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? The AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (ticker: MSOS) recorded a significant positive return for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. MSOS’s performance has been highly volatile since its inception but has seen growth the past year as more states have implemented cannabis programs and the progress of potential legal reforms at the federal level. There are indications that the Federal administration is considering moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substance Act. Such a rescheduling shift may lead to the easing of banking and capital market restrictions that currently hinder the cannabis industry. It could also potentially reduce the tax burdens on businesses selling cannabis in legalized states. As regulations evolve, investors are preparing for potential impacts on market dynamics, investment strategies, and the overall landscape of cannabis-related businesses. Considering the current price levels, we anticipate continued volatility and hold a strongly optimistic view on the U.S. cannabis sectors performance. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. | |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the twelve-month period ended in June 2023, the AdvisorShares Q Dynamic Growth ETF (ticker: QPX) finished behind its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. QPX’s investment strategy is purely quantitative in nature and portfolio allocations will reflect what is perceived to be the best long-term risk/reward sectors per QPX’s model. The model stayed heavily weighted in the technology and healthcare sectors throughout the period, as this exposure displayed a much higher risk/reward characteristics than other segments of the market per our models. In the month of May 2024, a position in gold was taken, via the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) ETF, as a hedge which proved to be unneeded. Throughout the period, QPX’s proprietary Q Implied Volatility Index™ (QIX) did not trigger a tactical rebalance towards a defensive allocation. The QIX stayed below the Risk Level 2 volatility trigger, and therefore, no risk-off rebalancing allocation changes were made in QPX. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks. The Q Implied Volatility Index™ ( QIX) is a proprietary indicator designed to tactically and unemotionally identify market volatility. QIX is reviewed daily and determines certain allocation changes. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. | |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the performance of the AdvisorShares Ranger Equity Bear ETF (ticker: HDGE) was 0.08% (NAV) compared with 24.56% for the S&P 500 Index. While the market indexes have hit new highs, the rally is running out of steam. For Nasdaq-listed companies, more stocks were hitting 52-week lows rather than highs. Market participation has narrowed with only a few stocks, such as Nvidia, driving the bulk of the returns. The level of bulls among advisors has remained at extreme levels compared to recent decades. Furthermore, U.S. household allocations to stocks has matched generational highs. Meanwhile, leverage and borrowing on margin has hit extremes as well. The convergence between the forward earnings yield on the stock market and interest rates has continued, suggesting significant risk to owning equities and an overvalued stock market. As a result, our outlook for the next twelve months is very bearish, and HDGE’s goal is to benefit from maximum damage in the equity markets both in terms of portfolio exposure and beta. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks. Beta is a measure of how a stock or portfolio moves with the market. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? During the past fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the AdvisorShares Restaurant ETF (ticker: EATZ) achieved a positive return, though it underperformed the S&P 500 Index. Restaurant and food service operators are facing challenges due to inflation, such as higher labor and food costs, and changing consumer expectations. Technology is being increasingly used to meet these challenges, with applications in marketing, recruiting, accounting, and inventory management. Competition remains intense with a notable decline in high-end categories, requiring restaurants to focus on value, customer experience, marketing, loyalty programs, and operational efficiency to sustain growth and profitability. We hold an optimistic outlook regarding the future growth prospects of the restaurant industry, particularly as global economic conditions improve, issues related to employment and supply chain stability are resolved, and restaurants leverage new capabilities while continuing to adapt to the ever-shifting consumer landscape. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. | |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? The principal investment strategy of AdvisorShares STAR Global Buy-Write ETF (ticker: VEGA) is to invest in a globally diversified asset allocation with target equity and fixed income weights of 70% and 30%, respectively. VEGA also writes covered calls and purchases protective puts to mitigate portfolio market risk. We rebalanced the portfolio in September 2023, removing our exposure to short duration high yield, U.S. small caps, and momentum in favor of core fixed income as interest rates were widely forecasted to decline in 2024 providing a tailwind to core allocations with 4–6-year duration targets. Interest rates rose in the first half of 2024 as expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts were pushed back further into the year leading to a relatively flat return across many fixed income sectors. We have maintained our fixed income positioning as we believe rates have largely stabilized and will provide a favorable back-drop for core fixed income through year-end. In January of 2024, we engaged in a tactical reallocation reducing our exposure to international equities and mid caps and reallocating more into domestic large cap. We have maintained a significant underweight to small cap stocks. This shift has served us well as the relative strength in domestic large cap equities has persisted through the first half of 2024. The persistent strength in the S&P 500 Index beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023 proved to be a challenging landscape for selling covered calls. The index grew steadily while overall volatility remained relatively subdued for much of the first quarter in 2024 providing lower premiums on average. In April of 2024, we closed out our puts (on S&P 500) and lowered our coverage ratio on a new purchase while extending the maturity out through June 2024. We were able to offset the cost of the puts by selling February calls, allowing us to extend out the downside protection two additional months with a near neutral cash outlay.Going forward, we continue to emphasize harnessing volatility through VEGAs’ covered calls and protective puts strategies to help reduce the risk of the underlying portfolio. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future.

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the AdvisorShares Vice ETF (ticker: VICE) delivered a modest positive return, underperforming the broader market. The "vice" sector includes industries such as alcohol, tobacco, restaurants/hospitality, gaming, and gambling. Typically, investments in sectors like alcohol and tobacco are expected to exhibit lower volatility and greater resilience in down markets. However, during the past fiscal year, vice industries worldwide were significantly impacted by inflation, supply chain disruptions, and employment issues. Looking ahead, we anticipate that VICE will exhibit less volatility compared to the overall market. Certain vice-oriented stocks are expected to experience growth as companies focus on product innovation, market expansion, and adapting to evolving consumer preferences. Our strategy aims to achieve relative outperformance and long-term capital appreciation through effective security selection and successful trading techniques. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. | |
