Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
ORGANIZATION | NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION Metaurus Equity Component Trust (the "Trust"), was formed in September 2016 and is authorized to have multiple series or portfolios. The Trust is a statutory trust formed under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Trust currently has two series or funds traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. exchange ("NYSE Arca"), U.S. Equity Cumulative Dividends Fund─Series 2027 (the "Dividend Fund") and U.S. Equity Ex-Dividend Fund─Series 2027 (the "Ex-Dividend Fund", each a "Fund" or "ETF"), collectively the "Funds" or "ETFs"). Metaurus Advisors LLC (the "Sponsor" or "Advisor") serves as the sponsor, commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor of each Fund. Each of the Funds commenced operations on January 17, 2018 and commenced investment operations on February 5, 2018. The Trust has had no investment operations prior to February 5, 2018 other than matters relating to its organization, the registration of each series/Fund under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and matters relating to their establishment and the capital contribution by the Sponsor of $1,000 to each Fund on December 22, 2017. The investment objective of the ETFs is to employ a passive management, or indexing, investment approach designed to correspond to the performance of each underlying index, before fees and expenses. Individual Shares of the ETFs may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange, an alternative trading system or in the over-the-counter market and not directly from the ETFs. Only broker-dealers who have entered into agreements with the Trust to act as authorized participants of the Trust ("Authorized Participants") may purchase or redeem shares directly with the ETFs. Shares of the ETFs are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. exchange. The Fund will issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis, through SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor"), at net asset value ("NAV") per Share only in one or more large blocks of 50,000 Shares, called "Baskets". Baskets may be issued and redeemed for cash but are expected to be issued and redeemed principally through exchange for related positions ("EFRP") transactions for (i) futures contracts, Treasury securities and other financial instruments designed to track such Fund's underlying index ("Deposit Instruments") and (ii) a cash amount that includes a variable charge. Creation and redemption prices of Baskets are directly linked to a Fund's next computed NAV and will vary from NAV by a market-determined trading cost, which may be zero. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Basket at market prices that change throughout the day. Trading prices in the secondary market for the Shares may be different from the NAVs of the ETFs. Undefined capitalized terms shall have the meaning as set forth in the registration statement. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Each Fund is an investment company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-K and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim period financial statements have been made. Following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds: Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of investment income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that a financial loss will be incurred if a Fund’s counterparty does not fulfill its financial obligations in a timely manner. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Funds to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of investments and cash deposits. Investments and cash of each Fund at December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018 are held at Brown Brothers, Harriman & Co., and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. Final Net Asset Value for Fiscal Period The NAV per Share for a Fund is determined by dividing the net assets of the Fund by the number of outstanding Shares. The NAVs of the ETFs are determined as soon as practicable after the close of regular trading of the Shares on the NYSE Arca on each Business Day. Each Fund’s net assets on a Business Day is obtained by subtracting accrued expenses and other liabilities borne by such Fund, if any, from the total value of the assets held by the Fund, in each case, as of the time of calculation. SEI Investments Global Fund Services, Inc., the administrator of the ETFs is responsible for making these determinations. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, in the case of the futures contracts held by the Funds, at the daily settlement price published by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for such futures contracts. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Treasury Securities held by the Funds generally are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Sponsor or a committee of its personnel thereof. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Funds may fair value their securities if an event that may materially affect the value of a Fund’s securities that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Fund calculates its net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If the Advisor becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates its NAV, it may request that a valuation meeting be called. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Sponsor or its designees will determine the fair value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to it. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date; Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 using the fair value hierarchy: U.S. Equity Cumulative Dividends Fund─Series 2027 December 31, 2019 Investments in Securities Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total U.S. Treasury Obligations $ - $ 23,583,730 $ - $ 23,583,730 Total Investments in Securities $ - $ 23,583,730 $ - $ 23,583,730 Other Financial Instruments Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Futures Contracts* Unrealized Appreciation $ 486,829 $ - $ - $ 486,829 Unrealized Depreciation - - - - Total Other Financial Instruments $ 486,829 $ - $ - $ 486,829 U.S. Equity Cumulative Dividends Fund─Series 2027 December 31, 2018 Investments in Securities Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total U.S. Treasury Obligations $ - $ 4,495,280 $ - $ 4,495,280 Total Investments in Securities $ - $ 4,495,280 $ - $ 4,495,280 Other Financial Instruments Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Futures Contracts* Unrealized Appreciation $ 4,301 $ - $ - $ 4,301 Unrealized Depreciation (601,214 ) - - (601,214 ) Total Other Financial Instruments $ (596,913 ) $ - $ - $ (596,913 ) * Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

Amounts designated as “-” are $0. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Investment Transactions and Related Income Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are determined using the identified cost basis method for financial reporting. Trading and Transaction Costs and Fees Each Fund will pay (or will reimburse the Clearing FCM if previously paid) any other transaction costs and fees associated with trading of the Fund’s instruments (including floor brokerage, exchange, clearing, give-up, user and National Futures Association (“NFA”) fees) that are not related to the creation and redemption of Baskets. Income Taxes Each Fund is a series of a Delaware statutory trust and will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no Fund expects to incur U.S. federal income tax; rather each beneficial owner of Shares will be required to take into account its allocable share of the Fund’s income, gain, loss deductions and other items for the Fund’s taxable year ending with or within the beneficial owner’s taxable year. The Funds file an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and may file income tax returns in various U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. Generally, the Funds are subject to income tax examinations by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable. The Funds are required to determine whether their tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current period. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Funds had no unrecognized tax benefits related to their tax positions. The Funds do not expect that their assessments related to unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next 12 months. However, the Funds’ conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions; compliance with U.S. federal, state and foreign tax laws; and changes in the administrative practices and precedents of the relevant taxing authorities. The Funds’ policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with the failure to file U.S. federal and state income tax returns, as income tax expenses on their Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any interest or penalties associated with the failure to file any income tax returns. Distribution Policy The Dividend Fund expects to pay monthly cash distributions to its Shareholders throughout each calendar year. Such distributions shall, on an annual basis, before fees and expenses, equal all or a substantial portion of the Dividend Fund’s NAV attributable to the ordinary cash dividends accumulated by the Dividend Points Index for the year (as reflected in the current year’s S&P 500 Dividend Futures Contracts held by the Dividend Fund). Such distributions may consist of ordinary income, capital gains and/or return of capital whose character will be determined at fiscal year-end once final year-end figures have been calculated. The Dividend Fund’s capital gains, if any, for a calendar year may include any net unrealized appreciation in its futures contracts that expire in future calendar years. The Ex-Dividend Fund does not anticipate making any periodic distributions. |

INVESTMENTS | NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS The Dividend Fund seeks investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the performance of the Solactive® U.S. Cumulative Dividends Index—Series 2027 (the "Solactive Dividend Index") over each calendar year so as to provide Shareholders with returns designed to replicate the dividends on constituent companies of the S&P 500, without exposure to the underlying securities. The Dividend Fund intends primarily to invest its assets in the component instruments of the Solactive Dividend Index, as well as in cash and/or cash equivalents. The component instruments of the Solactive Dividend Index consist of U.S. Treasury Securities ("Treasury Securities") and long positions in annual futures contracts listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME") that provide exposure to dividends paid on the S&P 500 constituent companies ("S&P 500 Dividend Futures Contracts") pro rata for each year of the life of the Dividend Fund. The Ex-Dividend Fund seeks investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the performance of the Solactive® U.S. Equity Ex-Dividends Index—Series 2027 (the "Solactive Ex-Dividend Index"). The Ex-Dividend Fund seeks to track the Solactive Ex-Dividend Index so as to provide Shareholders with returns that are equivalent to the performance of 0.25 shares of SPDR S&P 500 exchange-traded fund ("SPY") less the value of current and future expected ordinary cash dividends to be paid on the S&P 500 constituent companies over the term of the Ex-Dividend Fund. SPY is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the S&P 500. The Ex-Dividend Fund seeks to replicate the performance of SPY through owning long positions in quarterly S&P 500 Index futures contracts traded on the CME ("S&P 500 Index Futures Contracts") rather than shares of SPY. Additionally, the Ex-Dividend Fund intends to track the performance of the Solactive Ex-Dividend Index by selling S&P 500 Dividend Futures Contracts. The Ex-Dividend Fund will also hold Treasury Securities, cash and/or cash equivalents. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The Funds maintain deposits with financial institutions in amounts that may, at times, exceed the insured limits under applicable law. Short-Term Investments The Funds may purchase U.S. Treasury Bills, cash and or cash equivalents. Additionally, the Funds may enter into short-term loans and reverse repurchase agreements for liquidity purposes. There were no short-term loans or reverse repurchase agreements held in the Funds as of and during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the period ended December 31, 2018. Accounting for Derivative Instruments All open derivative positions at period end are reflected on each respective ETF's Schedule of Investments. The ETFs utilized a varying level of derivative instruments in conjunction with investment securities in seeking to meet their investment objective during the period. While the volume of open positions may vary on a daily basis as each ETF transacts derivatives contracts in order to achieve the appropriate exposure to meet its investment objective, the volume of these open positions relative to the net assets of each respective ETF at the date of this report is generally representative of open positions throughout the reporting period. Following is a description of the derivative instruments used by the ETFs during the reporting period, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type. Futures Contracts The ETFs enter into futures contracts to gain exposure to changes in the value of, or as a substitute for investing directly in (or shorting), an underlying index, currency or commodity, as set forth above. A futures contract obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to accept) the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of asset at a specified time and place. The contractual obligations of a buyer or seller may generally be satisfied by taking or making physical delivery of the underlying commodity, if applicable, or by making an offsetting sale or purchase of an identical futures contract on the same or linked exchange before the designated date of delivery, or by cash settlement at expiration of contract. The particular futures contracts utilized by the ETFs permit settlement only in cash. Upon entering into a futures contract, each ETF is required to deposit and maintain as collateral at least such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. The initial margin is segregated as cash and/or securities balances with brokers for futures contracts, as disclosed in the Statements of Financial Condition and Schedules of Investments, and is restricted as to its use. The ETFs that enter into futures contracts maintain collateral at the broker in the form of cash and/or securities. Pursuant to the futures contract, each Fund generally agrees to receive from or pay to the broker(s) an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Each Fund will realize a gain or loss upon closing of a futures transaction. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (specifically commodity price risk or equity market volatility risk) and exposure to loss in excess of the amount of variation margin. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent of the total exposure each Fund has in the particular classes of instruments. Additional risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the futures contracts and the market value of the underlying index or commodity and the possibility of an illiquid market for a futures contract. With futures contracts, there is minimal but some counterparty risk to the ETFs since futures contracts are exchange-traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures contracts, guarantees the futures contracts against default. Many futures exchanges and boards of trade limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a price beyond that limit or trading may be suspended for specified times during the trading day. Futures contracts prices could move to the limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and potentially subjecting a Fund to substantial losses. If trading is not possible, or if a Fund determines not to close a futures position in anticipation of adverse price movements, the Fund will be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin. The risk that the Fund will be unable to close out a futures position will be minimized by entering into such transactions on a national exchange with an active and liquid secondary market. The Funds held futures equity contracts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the period ended December 31, 2018. The value and detail of these contracts are disclosed on each fund's respective Schedule of Investments. The corresponding gains and losses associated with these contracts are disclosed on each Fund's respective Statement of Operations. The average volume of futures contracts for the year ended December 31, 2019 are as follows: U.S. Equity Cumulative Dividends Fund─Series 2027 Derivative Notional Amount Long futures contracts $ 18,625,830 U.S. Equity Ex-Dividend Fund─Series 2027 Derivative Notional Amount Long futures contracts $ 24,515,948 Short futures contracts $ (4,836,952 ) The average volume of futures contracts during the period February 5, 2018 (commencement of investment operations) to December 31, 2018 are as follows: U.S. Equity Cumulative Dividends Fund─Series 2027 Derivative Notional Amount Long futures contracts $ 5,394,216 U.S. Equity Ex-Dividend Fund─Series 2027 Derivative Notional Amount Long futures contracts $ 17,024,158 Short futures contracts $ (3,872,892 ) Offsetting Assets and Liabilities The Futures Account Agreement includes provisions permitting the Clearing FCM to net and set off its obligations to the Fund against the obligations of the Fund to the Clearing FCM upon the termination of the agreement or occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the agreement. As described above, the Funds utilize derivative instruments to pursue their investment objective during the year. The amounts shown in the Statements of Financial Condition do not take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements or similar arrangements. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Financial Condition. The following table presents each Fund's derivatives by investment type net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and the related collateral received or pledged by the Funds as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Agreements [Abstract] | |
AGREEMENTS | NOTE 4 – AGREEMENTS Sponsor On May 15, 2019, the Funds filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC and the NFA (Prospectus Supplement No. 1 ("Supplement No. 1") to the prospectus dated April 19, 2019 (the "Prospectus").) The NFA accepted and approved Supplement No. 1 on the same day. The SEC accepted the filing on May 15, 2019, and noted it as filed on May 16, 2019. Among other things, Supplement No. 1 provided that, effective immediately, the Funds were adopting a unitary fee structure pursuant to which each Fund will pay the Sponsor a management fee in consideration of the services provided by the Sponsor and other services provided to each Fund that the Sponsor pays directly (the "Management Fee"). Following the adoption of the unitary fee structure, the Sponsor will pay for all of the routine operational, administrative, and other ordinary expenses of each Fund as determined by the Sponsor as set forth in the Prospectus and Supplement No.1. The Funds will pay for certain other expenses and all of the Funds' extraordinary fees and expenses, if any, as determined by the Sponsor, as set forth in the Prospectus and Supplement No. 1. Prior to May 16, 2019, each Fund paid its periodic professional expenses, including, but not limited to the fees of the Trustee, continuous offering expenses, legal, audit, tax, accounting, performance, administrative, filing, reporting and data processing fees and expenses and other operating expenses. For each Fund, the Sponsor had agreed to pay any professional expenses of each Fund in excess of $150,000 in each of 2018 and 2019. The Funds were responsible for any extraordinary expenses and liabilities. Each Fund paid for its printing and mailing expenses. While neither of the Funds individually incurred professional expenses in excess of $150,000 through December 31, 2019, the Sponsor had elected to voluntarily reimburse certain expenses beginning on January 1, 2019 totaling $97,121 and $51,310 for the Dividend Fund and Ex-Dividend Fund, respectively, through May 15, 2019 when the Sponsor ceased to reimburse such expenses following the adoption of the unitary fee. The Sponsor had also elected to voluntarily reimburse certain expenses totaling $221,301 and $127,456 for the Dividend Fund and Ex-Dividend Fund, respectively from May 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. Previously, the Sponsor had voluntarily waived a portion of its Management Fee from the Funds. Effective May 16, 2019, the Sponsor is no longer reimbursing such expenses, and is no longer waiving its Management Fee from the Funds. At the time the Funds commenced operations, the Sponsor entered into an agreement (the "Reimbursement Agreement") with the Funds to reimburse the Sponsor for amounts provided to the Funds to pay for the fees to register the offering of the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Reimbursement Agreement provided that the amount due to the Sponsor, as disclosed on the Statements of Financial Condition, will be repaid over a maximum ten-year period. The Reimbursement Agreement, provided that the amount to be reimbursed to the Sponsor by a Fund over a given calendar year will vary depending on the number of Shares issued by the Fund during such year. The Reimbursement Agreement contained a prepayment provision where upon issuance of any shares of the Funds, the prorated portion of the amount due based on the percentage of shares issued to the percentage of the overall shares registered is due within 90 days of the share issuance date. In addition, it provided that should the Funds terminate prior to the full repayment of the amount due, the Sponsor agrees to forfeit the unpaid amount. Interest would not be charged on any amounts due. The Dividend Fund and Ex-Dividend Fund reimbursed the Sponsor $13,065 and $13,892, respectively, for 2018 and will reimburse the Sponsor $4,627 and $4,511, respectively, for the amount accrued from January 1, 2019 through May 15, 2019. No additional repayments/reimbursements under the Reimbursement Agreements will be paid following the Funds' adoption of the unitary fee structure effective May 16, 2019. As a result of the adoption of the unitary fee, the remaining unpaid balances under the Reimbursement Agreement of $106,808 and $106,097, for the Dividend Fund and Ex-Dividend Fund, respectively, will not be reimbursed to the Sponsor. The Sponsor agreed to absorb these unpaid balances and wrote off both the deferred offering costs and the related payable due to the Sponsor during the second quarter of 2019. Administrator, Custodian, Fund Accountant and Transfer Agent SEI Investments Global Fund Services, Inc. (the "Administrator") serves as the Funds' Administrator pursuant to an administration agreement. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the "Custodian") serves as the Funds' custodian and transfer agent pursuant to a custodian and transfer agent agreement. Clearing FCM Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC ("MS&Co." or the "Clearing FCM") serves as the Fund's Clearing FCM pursuant to the terms of a commodity futures customer agreement among the Sponsor, on behalf of the Funds, severally and not jointly, and the Clearing FCM (the "Futures Account Agreement"). As Clearing FCM, MS&Co. serves as the Funds' clearing broker and as such arranges for the execution and clearing of the Funds' futures transactions. As such, MS&Co. holds, on behalf of the Funds, positions in futures contracts and Treasury Securities, cash and cash equivalents as futures margin. Treasury Securities, cash and cash equivalents not held as futures margin will be held by the Custodian. The Funds may engage additional and/or other futures commission merchants in the future. Distribution Agreement SEI Investments Distribution Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments and an affiliate of the Administrator, serves as the Funds' distributor of Baskets pursuant to a distribution agreement. The Distributor does not maintain any secondary market in the Shares. Management Fee/Advisory Fee The Management Fee is paid to the Sponsor in consideration of its services as sponsor, commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor, and for managing the business and affairs of the Funds. The Sponsor supervises and directs the investment of the assets of the Funds in accordance with the Funds' investment objectives and investment strategies outlined in the Funds' prospectus. Effective May 16, 2019, as set forth in Supplement No.1, the Dividend Fund will pay the Sponsor a Management Fee equal to 0.87% per year of the Dividend Fund's average daily net assets, calculated and payable monthly in arrears, or pro rata for any partial month. The Ex-Dividend Fund will pay the Sponsor a Management Fee equal to 0.58% per year of the Ex-Dividend Fund's average daily net assets, calculated and payable monthly in arrears, or pro rata for any partial month. Prior to May 16, 2019, the Dividend Fund paid the Sponsor a Management Fee equal to 0.58% per year of the Dividend Fund's average daily NAV, calculated and payable monthly, subject to a minimum monthly fee of $0.005 per Share. This minimum monthly fee was expected to apply when the Dividend Fund's average daily NAV for such month was less than $10.34 per Share. The Ex-Dividend Fund paid the Sponsor a Management Fee equal to 0.29% per year of the Ex-Dividend Fund's average daily NAV, calculated and payable monthly. |

OFFERING AND ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS | NOTE 5 – OFFERING AND ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS The Sponsor paid all necessary and reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with the organization of the Funds and proposed initial public offering of the Shares. See the discussion in Note 4, above, concerning the Reimbursement Agreement concerning registration fees paid by the Sponsor to the SEC in connection with the registration of the Funds’ Shares. Deferred offering costs consist of fees paid in relation to legal, accounting, regulatory and work completed in preparation of equity offerings. Deferred offering costs are charged against the proceeds from equity offerings when received. As of December 31, 2019, deferred offering costs for each Fund were zero for both the Dividend Fund and the Ex-Dividend Fund. As of December 31, 2018, deferred offering costs for each Fund, which are included on the Statements of Financial Condition, were $123,816 for the Dividend Fund and $122,898 for the Ex-Dividend Fund. |

Creation and Redemption of Creation Units [Abstract] | |
CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS | NOTE 6 – CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV in one or more large blocks of 50,000 Shares called Baskets. Each Fund intends to create and redeem Baskets primarily through exchange for related position ("EFRP") transactions. In certain instances, the Funds may effect creations and redemptions partly or wholly for cash, rather than through an EFRP transaction. The manner by which redemptions are made is dictated by the terms of the respective authorized participant agreement between an Authorized Participant and the Trust ("Authorized Participant Agreement"). Except when aggregated in Baskets, Shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of the Funds may be purchased or redeemed only by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is an institution that (i) is a broker-dealer; (ii) is a registered futures commission merchant and/or clears through a registered futures commission merchant; (iii) is a Depository Trust Company Participant and a member of the National Securities Clearing Corporation; (iv) has entered into an Authorized Participant agreement with the Trust; and (v) is in a position to transfer the required Deposit Instruments and/or the cash to buy and sell whole Baskets. Investors will purchase Shares in the secondary market, generally with the assistance of a broker or investment advisor and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions, mark ups and mark downs and fees. Authorized Participants will pay a transaction fee per Basket created or redeemed. The Sponsor may choose to pay transaction fees on behalf of Authorized Participants and has done so to date on Baskets that have been created. There is no guarantee that the Sponsor will continue to do so. In addition, to the extent that cash is delivered or received in lieu of any of the Deposit Instruments upon the creation or redemption of Shares by an Authorized Participant, such Authorized Participants will pay an additional variable charge up to 2% of the cash that is delivered or received in lieu of any of the Deposit Instruments to a Fund to pay for any additional transaction costs and fees and price changes associated with the purchase or disposition of any of the Deposit Instruments. |

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
RISK | NOTE 8 – RISK Principal Risks A shareholder of the Funds is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. A more complete description of principal risks is included in the prospectus under the heading “Principal Risks”. This could result in the Funds’ underperformance compared to other funds with similar investment objectives. Market Trading Risks Individual Shares may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange, an alternative trading system, or in the over-the-counter market and may not be directly purchased or redeemed from the Funds. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained, or that the listing of the Shares will continue unchanged. Buying and selling Shares may require a shareholder to pay brokerage commissions and expose a shareholder to other trading costs. Due to brokerage commissions and other transaction costs that may apply, frequent trading may detract from realized investment returns. Trading prices of Shares may be above, at or below the Funds’ NAV, will fluctuate in relation to NAV based on supply and demand in the market for Shares and other factors, and may vary significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. The return on an investor’s investment will be reduced when the investor sells Shares at a discount or buys Shares at a premium to NAV. Contingent Pricing Risks Creation and redemption prices of Baskets are directly linked to the Funds’ next-computed NAV, which is normally determined at the end of each business day. Buyers and sellers of Shares will not know the value of their purchases and sales until the Funds’ NAV is determined at the end of the trading day. Like mutual funds, the Funds do not offer opportunities to purchase or redeem Baskets intraday at currently determined (as opposed to end-of-day) prices. Creation and redemption prices of Baskets are contingent upon the determination of NAV and may vary significantly from anticipated levels (including estimates based on intraday indicative values disseminated by the Funds) during periods of market volatility. Although limit orders can be used to restrict differences between prices of the Shares in the secondary market and NAV (i.e., premiums and discounts to NAV), they cannot be used to specify trade execution prices. However, unlike shares of mutual funds, Shares will trade on NYSE Arca, Inc. during the day at market-determined prices. The Funds will disseminate an indicative NAV every 15 seconds during the trading day. Cash Transactions Risk Each Fund intends to create and redeem Baskets primarily through EFRP transactions. In certain instances, the Funds may effect creations and redemptions partly or wholly for cash, rather than through an EFRP transaction. Because the Funds may effect redemptions for cash, rather than through an EFRP transaction, they may be required to sell Deposit Instruments in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds, and they may subsequently recognize gains on such sales. As a result, an investment in Shares redeemed partially or wholly for cash may be less tax-efficient than if the Shares were redeemed through an EFRP transaction which generally will not trigger any tax consequences to Shareholders. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the market for any of the Deposit Instruments is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which generally are expected to be higher than if the Basket was created or redeemed through an EFRP transaction, may be passed on to purchasers and redeemers of Baskets in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. In addition, these factors may result in wider spreads between the bid and the offered prices of the Shares. Authorized Participant Concentration Risk Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Funds. The Funds may have relationships with a limited number of institutions that act as Authorized Participants. To the extent these institutions exit the business or are unable or unwilling to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Funds and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem Baskets, Shares of the Funds may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting. Guarantees and Indemnifications In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the Sponsor, Wilmington Trust, N.A., a national banking association and the trustee of the Trust, and their officers and affiliates are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. Based on experience, the Sponsor is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds. |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT | NOTE 9 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance includes additions and modifications to disclosures requirements for fair value measurements. For public entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has evaluated the impact of applying this provision and determined that the early adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the financial statements. In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which provides guidance regarding the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows and will require entities to include the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the beginning and ending cash balances in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance reduces diversity in how entities present changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with respect to the statement of cash flows. The ASU has been adopted and resulted in an adjustment to beginning cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the Statement of Cash Flows of $70,768 and $1,218,374 for the Dividend Fund and Ex-Dividend Fund, respectively, to include cash pledged as collateral for futures contracts. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of investment income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that a financial loss will be incurred if a Fund’s counterparty does not fulfill its financial obligations in a timely manner. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Funds to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of investments and cash deposits. Investments and cash of each Fund at December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018 are held at Brown Brothers, Harriman & Co., and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. |
Final Net Asset Value for Fiscal Period | Final Net Asset Value for Fiscal Period The NAV per Share for a Fund is determined by dividing the net assets of the Fund by the number of outstanding Shares. The NAVs of the ETFs are determined as soon as practicable after the close of regular trading of the Shares on the NYSE Arca on each Business Day. Each Fund's net assets on a Business Day is obtained by subtracting accrued expenses and other liabilities borne by such Fund, if any, from the total value of the assets held by the Fund, in each case, as of the time of calculation. SEI Investments Global Fund Services, Inc., the administrator of the ETFs is responsible for making these determinations. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, in the case of the futures contracts held by the Funds, at the daily settlement price published by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for such futures contracts. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Treasury Securities held by the Funds generally are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Sponsor or a committee of its personnel thereof. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Funds may fair value their securities if an event that may materially affect the value of a Fund’s securities that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Fund calculates its net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If the Advisor becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates its NAV, it may request that a valuation meeting be called. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Sponsor or its designees will determine the fair value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to it. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date; Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 using the fair value hierarchy: U.S. Equity Cumulative Dividends Fund─Series 2027 December 31, 2019 Investments in Securities Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total U.S. Treasury Obligations $ - $ 23,583,730 $ - $ 23,583,730 Total Investments in Securities $ - $ 23,583,730 $ - $ 23,583,730 Other Financial Instruments Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Futures Contracts* Unrealized Appreciation $ 486,829 $ - $ - $ 486,829 Unrealized Depreciation - - - - Total Other Financial Instruments $ 486,829 $ - $ - $ 486,829 U.S. Equity Cumulative Dividends Fund─Series 2027 December 31, 2018 Investments in Securities Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total U.S. Treasury Obligations $ - $ 4,495,280 $ - $ 4,495,280 Total Investments in Securities $ - $ 4,495,280 $ - $ 4,495,280 Other Financial Instruments Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Futures Contracts* Unrealized Appreciation $ 4,301 $ - $ - $ 4,301 Unrealized Depreciation (601,214 ) - - (601,214 ) Total Other Financial Instruments $ (596,913 ) $ - $ - $ (596,913 ) * Futures contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

Amounts designated as “-” are $0. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. |
Investment Transactions and Related Income | Investment Transactions and Related Income Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are determined using the identified cost basis method for financial reporting. |
Trading and Transaction Costs and Fees | Trading and Transaction Costs and Fees Each Fund will pay (or will reimburse the Clearing FCM if previously paid) any other transaction costs and fees associated with trading of the Fund's instruments (including floor brokerage, exchange, clearing, give-up, user and National Futures Association ("NFA") fees) that are not related to the creation and redemption of Baskets. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Each Fund is a series of a Delaware statutory trust and will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no Fund expects to incur U.S. federal income tax; rather each beneficial owner of Shares will be required to take into account its allocable share of the Fund's income, gain, loss deductions and other items for the Fund's taxable year ending with or within the beneficial owner's taxable year. The Funds file an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and may file income tax returns in various U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. Generally, the Funds are subject to income tax examinations by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable. The Funds are required to determine whether their tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current period. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Funds had no unrecognized tax benefits related to their tax positions. The Funds do not expect that their assessments related to unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next 12 months. However, the Funds' conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions; compliance with U.S. federal, state and foreign tax laws; and changes in the administrative practices and precedents of the relevant taxing authorities. The Funds' policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with the failure to file U.S. federal and state income tax returns, as income tax expenses on their Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not have any interest or penalties associated with the failure to file any income tax returns. |
Distribution Policy | Distribution Policy The Dividend Fund expects to pay monthly cash distributions to its Shareholders throughout each calendar year. Such distributions shall, on an annual basis, before fees and expenses, equal all or a substantial portion of the Dividend Fund's NAV attributable to the ordinary cash dividends accumulated by the Dividend Points Index for the year (as reflected in the current year's S&P 500 Dividend Futures Contracts held by the Dividend Fund). Such distributions may consist of ordinary income, capital gains and/or return of capital whose character will be determined at fiscal year-end once final year-end figures have been calculated. The Dividend Fund's capital gains, if any, for a calendar year may include any net unrealized appreciation in its futures contracts that expire in future calendar years. The Ex-Dividend Fund does not anticipate making any periodic distributions. |

Description of dividend fund seeks investment | The Dividend Fund seeks investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the performance of the Solactive® U.S. Cumulative Dividends Index—Series 2027 (the “Solactive Dividend Index”) over each calendar year so as to provide Shareholders with returns designed to replicate the dividends on constituent companies of the S&P 500, without exposure to the underlying securities. The Dividend Fund intends primarily to invest its assets in the component instruments of the Solactive Dividend Index, as well as in cash and/or cash equivalents. The component instruments of the Solactive Dividend Index consist of U.S. Treasury Securities (“Treasury Securities”) and long positions in annual futures contracts listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) that provide exposure to dividends paid on the S&P 500 constituent companies (“S&P 500 Dividend Futures Contracts”) pro rata for each year of the life of the Dividend Fund. |

Description of ex-dividend fund seeks investment | The Ex-Dividend Fund seeks investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the performance of the Solactive® U.S. Equity Ex-Dividends Index—Series 2027 (the “Solactive Ex-Dividend Index”). The Ex-Dividend Fund seeks to track the Solactive Ex-Dividend Index so as to provide Shareholders with returns that are equivalent to the performance of 0.25 shares of SPDR S&P 500 exchange-traded fund (“SPY”) less the value of current and future expected ordinary cash dividends to be paid on the S&P 500 constituent companies over the term of the Ex-Dividend Fund. SPY is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the S&P 500. The Ex-Dividend Fund seeks to replicate the performance of SPY through owning long positions in quarterly S&P 500 Index futures contracts traded on the CME (“S&P 500 Index Futures Contracts”) rather than shares of SPY. Additionally, the Ex-Dividend Fund intends to track the performance of the Solactive Ex-Dividend Index by selling S&P 500 Dividend Futures Contracts. The Ex-Dividend Fund will also hold Treasury Securities, cash and/or cash equivalents. |
