| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform in the last year? The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to provide a hedge against sharp increases in long-term U.S. interest rates and is expected to benefit during periods of market stress when interest rate volatility is elevated. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily by investing in (1) long put options position(s) on ETFs that primarily invest in U.S. Treasuries and/or long put options position(s) on U.S. Treasury futures, and/or (2) long interest rate payer swap options (“swaptions”). The Fund will also invest in long positions in U.S. Treasury bills for cash management purposes. The Fund invests in U.S. Treasury bills directly or through other ETFs. The Fund uses ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index as its secondary benchmark index (the “Secondary Index”). The Secondary Index is designed to track the performance of the U.S. dollar denominated sovereign debt publicly issued by the U.S. government in its domestic market. For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2024 (the "reporting period"), the Fund decreased 8.28%, while the Secondary Index increased 6.82%. The Fund had a net asset value of $27.28 per share on November 30, 2023 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $18.85 per share on November 30, 2024. During the reporting period, the Fund recorded negative absolute performance driven by its holding of U.S. dollar denominated payer swaptions. These swaptions decreased in value in conjunction with falling long-term U.S. interest rates. Specifically, the yield on the 10-year treasury was roughly flat, while the Secondary Index delivered a total return of 6.82%. The Fund benefited from its holding of short-term treasury securities, which generated a positive yield. However, the negative performance of the payer swaptions offset this benefit resulting in an overall negative performance of the Fund during the reporting period. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform in the last year? The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") that seeks to achieve its investment objective primarily by investing, directly or indirectly, in a mix of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) and long yield curve spread options, which are tied to the shape of the U.S. interest rate curve. The Fund’s strategy is designed to hedge against inflation risk and generate positive returns from the Fund’s options during periods when U.S. interest rate volatility increases and/or the U.S. interest rate curve steepens (i.e., when the spread between interest rates on U.S. long-term debt instruments and U.S. shorter-term debt instruments widens). The Fund uses Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation-Linked Bond Index as its secondary benchmark index (the “Secondary Index”). The Secondary Index is designed to measure the performance of the U.S. TIPS market. For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2024 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 2.37%, while the Secondary Index increased 6.26%. The Fund had a net asset value of $21.44 per share on November 30, 2023 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $20.29 per share on November 30, 2024. During the reporting period, the Fund recorded negative absolute performance. Its options positions, as well as its exposure to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) detracted from returns as inflation expectations moderated and yield rose. Flattening of the yield curve, softer levels of interest rate volatility, relative to 2023, and the spread between the 10-year and 2-year treasury instruments remaining inverted for the majority of the period led to negative returns for the Fund, as well. |
