Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 11.64%. For the same period, the MSCI All Country World Index returned 17.49% and the secondary performance benchmark, a blend of 60% MSCI ACWI Index and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 10.77%. What contributed to performance? Allocations to U.S. large-cap stocks, U.S. large-cap growth stocks, U.S. quality factor stocks, and U.S. technology stocks made the largest contributions. All four categories performed well in an environment of robust economic growth, steady corporate earnings, and interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve. What detracted from performance? Allocations to long-duration U.S. Treasuries and a total return bond strategy detracted (duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity). Positioning in developed-market growth stocks and emerging-market equities also detracted due to unfavorably timed shifts in the Fund’s weightings in these areas over the course of the period. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 25.44%. For the same period, the Russell 1000 ® What contributed to performance? The Fund delivered strong performance during the reporting period, driven primarily by sentiment- and macro-related insights. Tracking social media activity helped correctly position the portfolio in the consumer discretionary sector, contributing to absolute performance. Furthermore, measures that gather sentiment from informed investor positioning worked well in healthcare. Positioning in the sector was also driven by a macro-related insight favoring companies likely to benefit from growing demand for GLP-1 treatments. Macro-related insights that assess industry-level positioning, which led to holdings in information technology stocks that benefited from enthusiasm about artificial intelligence, further helped results. What detracted from performance? Given the Fund’s strong performance, there were no major detractors from absolute returns. However, certain fundamental measures struggled. Traditional valuation measures looking at company cash flow levels incorrectly positioned the portfolio in metals and mining companies that posted negative returns. Additionally, quality insights with a preference for more stable companies lagged due to the “risk-off” tone in the market. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class III Shares returned 25.11%. For the same period, the Russell 1000 ® What contributed to performance? The Fund delivered strong performance during the reporting period, driven primarily by sentiment- and macro-related insights. Tracking social media activity helped correctly position the portfolio in the consumer discretionary sector, contributing to absolute performance. Furthermore, measures that gather sentiment from informed investor positioning worked well in healthcare. Positioning in the sector was also driven by a macro-related insight favoring companies likely to benefit from growing demand for GLP-1 treatments. Macro-related insights that assess industry-level positioning, which led to holdings in information technology stocks that benefited from enthusiasm about artificial intelligence, further helped results. What detracted from performance? Given the Fund’s strong performance, there were no major detractors from absolute returns. However, certain fundamental measures struggled. Traditional valuation measures looking at company cash flow levels incorrectly positioned the portfolio in metals and mining companies that posted negative returns. Additionally, quality insights with a preference for more stable companies lagged due to the “risk-off” tone in the market. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 16.32%. For the same period, Russell 1000 ® ® What contributed to performance? The Fund delivered strong performance during the reporting period, driven primarily by sentiment- and macro-related insights. Insights that gather sentiment from informed investor positioning worked well in the information technology sector. Further, measures focused on social media likes helped correctly position the portfolio in the consumer discretionary sector. Macro thematic insights focusing on industry-level activity in the private markets were additive by driving successful positioning in industrials. Performance was further bolstered by macro-related insights favoring companies likely to benefit from growing demand for GLP-1 treatments. In addition, fundamental quality measures using text-based predictions for growth led to a successful positioning in financials. What detracted from performance? Given the Fund’s strong performance, there were no major detractors from absolute returns. However, certain fundamental quality and valuation measures struggled. Traditional valuation measures looking at company cash flow levels incorrectly positioned the portfolio in the materials sector. Fundamental quality measures that compare stocks using balance sheet metrics also detracted by motivating positions in chemical stocks that experienced losses. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 12.05%. For the same period, the Russell 3000 ® TM What contributed to performance? The Fund delivered strong performance during the reporting period, driven by sentiment insights. The returns of the Fund’s macro and fundamental insights were more muted. Insights gauging sentiment from earnings calls and broker reports were additive, leading to successful positioning in the information technology sector. Additionally, social media engagement measures motivated favorable positioning in the consumer discretionary sector. Fundamental quality measures, which favor companies with founders in management roles, contributed in the financials and industrials sectors. What detracted from performance? Certain fundamental quality- and valuation-related measures experienced negative absolute returns. Traditional valuation measures looking at various balance sheet ratios detracted in the materials sector.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class III Shares returned 11.70%. For the same period, the Russell 3000 ® TM What contributed to performance? The Fund delivered strong performance during the reporting period, driven by sentiment insights. The returns of the Fund’s macro and fundamental insights were more muted. Insights gauging sentiment from earnings calls and broker reports were additive, leading to successful positioning in the information technology sector. Additionally, social media engagement measures motivated favorable positioning in the consumer discretionary sector. Fundamental quality measures, which favor companies with founders in management roles, contributed in the financials and industrials sectors. What detracted from performance? Certain fundamental quality- and valuation-related measures experienced negative absolute returns. Traditional valuation measures looking at various balance sheet ratios detracted in the materials sector.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 10.37%. For the same period, the Russell 1000 ® ® What contributed to performance? Positive contributions to performance over the reporting period were led by investment decisions in the financials, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors. In financials, positioning in banks proved additive, highlighted by exposure to one of the largest U.S.-based multinational banks. In industrials, positioning in professional services was beneficial, most notably holdings of a government defense and intelligence contractor. In consumer discretionary, positioning in the automobiles industry added to return, led by holdings of a leading U.S. car manufacturer. What detracted from performance? The largest detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance were investment decisions in the healthcare, consumer staples and materials sectors. In healthcare, positioning in healthcare providers and services weighed on performance, most notably holdings of a leading drug store chain and pharmacy benefit manager. In consumer staples, positioning in distribution and retail detracted, in particular holdings of a leading low-price retail chain.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class III Shares returned 10.05%. For the same period, the Russell 1000 ® ® What contributed to performance? Positive contributions to performance over the reporting period were led by investment decisions in the financials, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors. In financials, positioning in banks proved additive, highlighted by exposure to one of the largest U.S.-based multinational banks. In industrials, positioning in professional services was beneficial, most notably holdings of a government defense and intelligence contractor. In consumer discretionary, positioning in the automobiles industry added to return, led by holdings of a leading U.S. car manufacturer. What detracted from performance? The largest detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance were investment decisions in the healthcare, consumer staples and materials sectors. In healthcare, positioning in healthcare providers and services weighed on performance, most notably holdings of a leading drug store chain and pharmacy benefit manager. In consumer staples, positioning in distribution and retail detracted, in particular holdings of a leading low-price retail chain.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 32.28%. For the same period, the S&P 500 ® ® What contributed to performance? Positive contributions to the Fund’s performance over the reporting period were led by positioning in the information technology, communication services and consumer discretionary sectors. In information technology, holdings in the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industry proved beneficial, most notably exposure to a provider of chips used in artificial intelligence applications. In communication services, positioning in interactive media and services was most additive, led by exposure to a social media platform operator. Finally, in consumer discretionary, positioning in the broadline retail industry contributed, most notably holdings of an online retail platform operator. What detracted from performance? The largest detractors from performance over the reporting period were investment decisions in the real estate and energy sectors. In real estate, positioning in the management and development industry detracted, in particular exposure to a provider of real estate industry analytics. In energy, positioning in oil, gas, and consumable fuels weighed on return, most notably holdings of an exporter of liquified natural gas.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class III Shares returned 31.93%. For the same period, the S&P 500 ® ® What contributed to performance? Positive contributions to the Fund’s performance over the reporting period were led by positioning in the information technology, communication services and consumer discretionary sectors. In information technology, holdings in the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industry proved beneficial, most notably exposure to a provider of chips used in artificial intelligence applications. In communication services, positioning in interactive media and services was most additive, led by exposure to a social media platform operator. Finally, in consumer discretionary, positioning in the broadline retail industry contributed, most notably holdings of an online retail platform operator. What detracted from performance? The largest detractors from performance over the reporting period were investment decisions in the real estate and energy sectors. In real estate, positioning in the management and development industry detracted, in particular exposure to a provider of real estate industry analytics. In energy, positioning in oil, gas, and consumable fuels weighed on return, most notably holdings of an exporter of liquified natural gas. While no other sector detracted from absolute performance, in information technology services holdings of a developer data platform provider was among the Fund’s largest individual detractors. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 10.06%. For the same period, the S&P 500 ® ® What contributed to performance? Stock selection in the financials, industrials and utilities sectors made the largest contributions to absolute performance. In financials, a position in one of the largest U.S.-based banks was a key contributor. The outperformance in industrials stemmed from an investment in a government defense and intelligence contractor whose stock outperformed. An electric utility expected to benefit from the growth of artificial intelligence led the way in the utilities sector. What detracted from performance? Stock selection in the healthcare, information technology, and materials sectors detracted. In healthcare, weakness in a leading drugstore chain and pharmacy benefit manager hurt results. The shortfall in information technology resulted from a downturn in a large, South Korean consumer electronics company.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class III Shares returned 9.71%. For the same period, the S&P 500 ® ® What contributed to performance? Stock selection in the financials, industrials and utilities sectors made the largest contributions to absolute performance. In financials, a position in one of the largest U.S.-based banks was a key contributor. The outperformance in industrials stemmed from an investment in a government defense and intelligence contractor whose stock outperformed. An electric utility expected to benefit from the growth of artificial intelligence led the way in the utilities sector. What detracted from performance? Stock selection in the healthcare, information technology, and materials sectors detracted. In healthcare, weakness in a leading drugstore chain and pharmacy benefit manager hurt results. The shortfall in information technology resulted from a downturn in a large, South Korean consumer electronics company.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 9.23%. For the same period, the FTSE World Index returned 17.96% and the Reference Benchmark returned 9.09%. What contributed to performance? The Fund’s positive absolute return was primarily driven by equity positioning. Within equities, positioning in information technology and financials as well as, to a lesser extent, consumer discretionary and communication services were the primary contributors to absolute return. Within fixed income, positioning in high yield corporate bonds and securitized assets, notably commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, positively impacted return, as did positioning in nominal U.S. Treasuries and select emerging market sovereign issues. The Fund’s exposure to cash and cash equivalents was actively managed over the period and used to help mitigate portfolio volatility while serving as a source of funds for new investments and to meet redemptions. The Fund’s cash exposure had a slight positive impact on absolute return. What detracted from performance? Within equities, positioning in index-related equity futures used mainly as a hedge during periods of heightened market volatility was the primary detractor from absolute return while positioning in materials detracted to a lesser degree.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class II Shares returned 9.09%. For the same period, the FTSE World Index returned 17.96% and the Reference Benchmark returned 9.09%. What contributed to performance? The Fund’s positive absolute return was primarily driven by equity positioning. Within equities, positioning in information technology and financials as well as, to a lesser extent, consumer discretionary and communication services were the primary contributors to absolute return. Within fixed income, positioning in high yield corporate bonds and securitized assets, notably commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, positively impacted return, as did positioning in nominal U.S. Treasuries and select emerging market sovereign issues. The Fund’s exposure to cash and cash equivalents was actively managed over the period and used to help mitigate portfolio volatility while serving as a source of funds for new investments and to meet redemptions. The Fund’s cash exposure had a slight positive impact on absolute return. What detracted from performance? Within equities, positioning in index-related equity futures used mainly as a hedge during periods of heightened market volatility was the primary detractor from absolute return while positioning in materials detracted to a lesser degree. Within fixed income, management of duration (interest rate sensitivity) via interest rate derivatives negatively impacted absolute performance along with exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities and U.K. interest rates. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class III Shares returned 9.01%. For the same period, the FTSE World Index returned 17.96% and the Reference Benchmark returned 9.09%. What contributed to performance? The Fund’s positive absolute return was primarily driven by equity positioning. Within equities, positioning in information technology and financials as well as, to a lesser extent, consumer discretionary and communication services were the primary contributors to absolute return. Within fixed income, positioning in high yield corporate bonds and securitized assets, notably commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, positively impacted return, as did positioning in nominal U.S. Treasuries and select emerging market sovereign issues. The Fund’s exposure to cash and cash equivalents was actively managed over the period and used to help mitigate portfolio volatility while serving as a source of funds for new investments and to meet redemptions. The Fund’s cash exposure had a slight positive impact on absolute return. What detracted from performance? Within equities, positioning in index-related equity futures used mainly as a hedge during periods of heightened market volatility was the primary detractor from absolute return while positioning in materials detracted to a lesser degree. Within fixed income, management of duration (interest rate sensitivity) via interest rate derivatives negatively impacted absolute performance along with exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities and U.K. interest rates. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the period? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 3.43%. For the same period, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 3.82%. In 2024, Japan's equity markets saw strong performance. The Nikkei 225 Index reached all-time highs in the first half of the year, driven by corporate governance reforms, monetary policy normalization, and increased foreign investment as Japan was seen as a substitute for China amid geopolitical fragmentation. The Bank of Japan raised rates for the first time since 2007 in April 2024 and again in July, leading to a sell-off in global markets. In May, the Japanese Yen fell to a 38-year low against the U.S. dollar. In the third quarter, Japan benefited from increased tourism, but the weak yen made imports more expensive. The Nikkei Index declined sharply, but business sentiment remained stable throughout the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Nikkei 225 briefly rose above 40,000 in December but declined due to concerns about U.S. tariff policies. European equities underperformed compared to the United States. The U.K. was in a technical recession at the end of 2023, with mixed economic expectations due to persistent inflation and potential global shipping disruptions. The Bank of England maintained its bank rate at 5.25% in March 2024, hoping for positive GDP growth. Keir Starmer became U.K. Prime Minister, leading to cautious optimism. The Bank of England kept the Bank Rate at 5.25% in the second quarter, despite headline CPI falling to 2.00% in May. The European Parliament elections in June 2024 showed a drift to the right, increasing Euroskeptic members. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) held rates steady at 4.00% in April but cut rates by 25 bps in May. The ECB also cut rates by 25 bps in September and December. European equities finished the fourth quarter negatively due to uncertainty about President Trump's economic policies.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the period? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class III Shares returned 3.20%. For the same period, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 3.82%. In 2024, Japan's equity markets saw strong performance. The Nikkei 225 Index reached all-time highs in the first half of the year, driven by corporate governance reforms, monetary policy normalization, and increased foreign investment as Japan was seen as a substitute for China amid geopolitical fragmentation. The Bank of Japan raised rates for the first time since 2007 in April 2024 and again in July, leading to a sell-off in global markets. In May, the Japanese Yen fell to a 38-year low against the U.S. dollar. In the third quarter, Japan benefited from increased tourism, but the weak yen made imports more expensive. The Nikkei Index declined sharply, but business sentiment remained stable throughout the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Nikkei 225 briefly rose above 40,000 in December but declined due to concerns about U.S. tariff policies. European equities underperformed compared to the United States. The U.K. was in a technical recession at the end of 2023, with mixed economic expectations due to persistent inflation and potential global shipping disruptions. The Bank of England maintained its bank rate at 5.25% in March 2024, hoping for positive GDP growth. Keir Starmer became U.K. Prime Minister, leading to cautious optimism. The Bank of England kept the Bank Rate at 5.25% in the second quarter, despite headline CPI falling to 2.00% in May. The European Parliament elections in June 2024 showed a drift to the right, increasing Euroskeptic members. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) held rates steady at 4.00% in April but cut rates by 25 bps in May. The ECB also cut rates by 25 bps in September and December. European equities finished the fourth quarter negatively due to uncertainty about President Trump's economic policies. The European Commission projected real GDP growth in 2024 at 0.9% in the EU and 0.8% in the euro area, with growth expected to pick up to 1.5% in 2025. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 0.37%. For the same period, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index returned 5.53%. What contributed to performance? Positive contributions to the Fund’s performance were led by stock selection within the communication services, energy and materials sectors. At the individual stock level, leading contributors included holdings of a Japan-based operator of an online employment platform which saw its results boosted by a strong labor market and announced a major share repurchase program. In addition, shares of a leading Chinese social media and videogame company held in the Fund rose sharply on strong advertising revenues boosted by the deployment of artificial intelligence to improve targeting. Finally, a large Italian international bank held in the Fund outperformed on strong earnings supported by its wealth management and insurance businesses and improved sentiment around bank net interest margins given the outlook for interest rates to remain higher for longer. What detracted from performance? From a sector perspective, stock selection within information technology, consumer discretionary and healthcare detracted the most from return. At the individual stock level, holdings of a Japan-based semiconductor company lagged as declining prices and sales for commodity memory components weighed on its results, although there are signs that demand for its high-bandwidth memory components used in artificial intelligence is rebounding. Exposure to a North American railroad operator also detracted as higher labor and fuel costs led to disappointing results and the larger railway industry faces an uncertain 2025 freight volume outlook, leading management to lower guidance. Finally, a German manufacturer of personal care products underperformed on lower-than-expected sales growth in its consumer division and a challenging Chinese market which drove a decline in sales for one of its premium skin care brands. |

For the same period, the Russell 1000 ® ® What contributed to performance? Stock selection in the information technology, communication services, and consumer discretionary sectors contributed to absolute performance. In all three sectors, the leading individual contributors were mega-cap, technology-related stocks that led the broader market higher in 2024. What detracted from performance? Stock selection in the real estate and energy sectors detracted from performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class III Shares returned 31.39%. For the same period, the Russell 1000 ® ® What contributed to performance? Stock selection in the information technology, communication services, and consumer discretionary sectors contributed to absolute performance. In all three sectors, the leading individual contributors were mega-cap, technology-related stocks that led the broader market higher in 2024. What detracted from performance? Stock selection in the real estate and energy sectors detracted from performance. While no other sectors detracted from absolute performance, the Fund lagged in the IT services industry largely due to a position in a provider of a cloud-based, software-as-a-service platform for global enterprises. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 11.99%. For the same period, the MSCI All Country World Index returned 17.49% and the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index returned 5.25%. What contributed to performance? The Fund’s equity and fixed income positioning each contributed to absolute returns during the reporting period. A directional overweight in equities, which the Fund held for the majority of the year, contributed positively. A directional long in U.S. equities performed particularly well. Relative value equity positions were also additive, driven by a long in Japan and Italy versus shorts in Australia and South Korea through the first three quarters of the year. Industry positioning in equities also added value. In the emerging markets, a long in Taiwan and shorts in Brazil and South Africa were additive later in the year. Fixed-income positioning contributed, primarily due to tactical short positions. A short position in the United States added value, as strength in U.S. growth and the prospect of increased fiscal deficits under the Trump administration fueled a sell-off in the bond market late in the year. Relative value fixed-income positioning was also additive in late 2024, as the Fund was positioned long in German Bunds versus a short in U.S. Treasuries. U.S. yields continued to move up more than their global peers given the country’s strong economy, while growth in the core of the Eurozone remained relatively weak. Positioning in the emerging markets further contributed, with the Fund benefiting from a long in China versus a short in Brazil. The Fund held an allocation to cash as collateral for derivative positions and as a means of earning a modest yield. The cash position was additive to performance over the period. The Fund was not in a defensive investment position. What detracted from performance? Active currency positioning detracted from absolute performance. The Fund was positioned short in the U.S. Dollar versus a basket of developed market currencies, which was a negative at a time of Dollar strength. Derivatives are used by the investment adviser as an efficient means to take active views on interest rates, equity indices, and currencies in the Fund. During the period, the use of derivatives instead of physical instruments detracted minimally from performance. The Fund did not hold private investments during the period. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class III Shares returned 11.75%. For the same period, the MSCI All Country World Index returned 17.49% and the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index returned 5.25%. What contributed to performance? The Fund’s equity and fixed income positioning each contributed to absolute returns during the reporting period. A directional overweight in equities, which the Fund held for the majority of the year, contributed positively. A directional long in U.S. equities performed particularly well. Relative value equity positions were also additive, driven by a long in Japan and Italy versus shorts in Australia and South Korea through the first three quarters of the year. Industry positioning in equities also added value. In the emerging markets, a long in Taiwan and shorts in Brazil and South Africa were additive later in the year. Fixed-income positioning contributed, primarily due to tactical short positions. A short position in the United States added value, as strength in U.S. growth and the prospect of increased fiscal deficits under the Trump administration fueled a sell-off in the bond market late in the year. Relative value fixed-income positioning was also additive in late 2024, as the Fund was positioned long in German Bunds versus a short in U.S. Treasuries. U.S. yields continued to move up more than their global peers given the country’s strong economy, while growth in the core of the Eurozone remained relatively weak. Positioning in the emerging markets further contributed, with the Fund benefiting from a long in China versus a short in Brazil. The Fund held an allocation to cash as collateral for derivative positions and as a means of earning a modest yield. The cash position was additive to performance over the period. The Fund was not in a defensive investment position. What detracted from performance? Active currency positioning detracted from absolute performance. The Fund was positioned short in the U.S. Dollar versus a basket of developed market currencies, which was a negative at a time of Dollar strength. Derivatives are used by the investment adviser as an efficient means to take active views on interest rates, equity indices, and currencies in the Fund. During the period, the use of derivatives instead of physical instruments detracted minimally from performance. The Fund did not hold private investments during the period. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 24.83%. For the same period, the S&P 500 ® In 2024, United States (“U.S.”) equity markets experienced significant growth, driven by investor optimism in artificial intelligence related companies and strong earnings reports. The Federal Reserve (“Fed”) maintained interest rates at first as inflation rose in February 2024 and labor market data remained strong, dampening expectations of rate cuts at the beginning of the year. Large-cap equities continued to perform well into the second quarter 2024. The consumer price index (“CPI”) increased by 0.3% in April but remained flat from April to May, while the unemployment rate rose slightly from 3.9% to 4.0%. The Fed kept rates unchanged, leading to a rally in large-cap stocks, though small-cap equities lagged due to reduced rate cut expectations in the second quarter. The third quarter of 2024 saw a mixture of optimism and caution. A weaker CPI in July extended the bull market, but a disappointing jobs report in August raised concerns about an economic slowdown. Market volatility increased due to geopolitical risks and U.S. Presidential Election developments. The Fed cut rates by 50 basis points in September 2024, boosting equity markets to new highs. In the fourth quarter of 2024, U.S. equities remained positive despite sell-offs in October and December. A strong November rally followed Donald Trump's reelection, benefiting sectors aligned with his economic agenda. The Fed cut rates by 50 basis points across November and December, while still aiming to achieve it's goal of reducing inflation to it's 2% target. The Federal Open Market Committee revised its 2025 rate cut projections from four to two, causing a December selloff as investors adjusted to expectations of persistent inflation. Labor market conditions eased, with unemployment at 4.2% in November 2024. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class II Shares returned 24.68%. For the same period, the S&P 500 ® In 2024, United States (“U.S.”) equity markets experienced significant growth, driven by investor optimism in artificial intelligence related companies and strong earnings reports. The Federal Reserve (“Fed”) maintained interest rates at first as inflation rose in February 2024 and labor market data remained strong, dampening expectations of rate cuts at the beginning of the year. Large-cap equities continued to perform well into the second quarter 2024. The consumer price index (“CPI”) increased by 0.3% in April but remained flat from April to May, while the unemployment rate rose slightly from 3.9% to 4.0%. The Fed kept rates unchanged, leading to a rally in large-cap stocks, though small-cap equities lagged due to reduced rate cut expectations in the second quarter. The third quarter of 2024 saw a mixture of optimism and caution. A weaker CPI in July extended the bull market, but a disappointing jobs report in August raised concerns about an economic slowdown. Market volatility increased due to geopolitical risks and U.S. Presidential Election developments. The Fed cut rates by 50 basis points in September 2024, boosting equity markets to new highs. In the fourth quarter of 2024, U.S. equities remained positive despite sell-offs in October and December. A strong November rally followed Donald Trump's reelection, benefiting sectors aligned with his economic agenda. The Fed cut rates by 50 basis points across November and December, while still aiming to achieve it's goal of reducing inflation to it's 2% target. The Federal Open Market Committee revised its 2025 rate cut projections from four to two, causing a December selloff as investors adjusted to expectations of persistent inflation. Labor market conditions eased, with unemployment at 4.2% in November 2024. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the period? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class I Shares returned 11.31%. For the same period, the Russell 3000 ® ® In 2024, United States (“U.S.”) equity markets experienced significant growth, driven by investor optimism in artificial intelligence related companies and strong earnings reports. The Federal Reserve (“Fed”) maintained interest rates at first as inflation rose in February 2024 and labor market data remained strong, dampening expectations of rate cuts at the beginning of the year. Large-cap equities continued to perform well into the second quarter 2024. The consumer price index (“CPI”) increased by 0.3% in April but remained flat from April to May, while the unemployment rate rose slightly from 3.9% to 4.0%. The Fed kept rates unchanged, leading to a rally in large-cap stocks, though small-cap equities lagged due to reduced rate cut expectations in the second quarter. The third quarter of 2024 saw a mixture of optimism and caution. A weaker CPI in July extended the bull market, but a disappointing jobs report in August raised concerns about an economic slowdown. Market volatility increased due to geopolitical risks and U.S. Presidential Election developments. The Fed cut rates by 50 basis points in September 2024, boosting equity markets to new highs. In the fourth quarter of 2024, U.S. equities remained positive despite sell-offs in October and December. A strong November rally followed Donald Trump's reelection, benefiting sectors aligned with his economic agenda. The Fed cut rates by 50 basis points across November and December, while still aiming to achieve it's goal of reducing inflation to it's 2% target. The Federal Open Market Committee revised its 2025 rate cut projections from four to two, causing a December selloff as investors adjusted to expectations of persistent inflation. Labor market conditions eased, with unemployment at 4.2% in November 2024. |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the period? For the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Fund's Class III Shares returned 11.07%. For the same period, the Russell 3000 ® ® In 2024, United States (“U.S.”) equity markets experienced significant growth, driven by investor optimism in artificial intelligence related companies and strong earnings reports. The Federal Reserve (“Fed”) maintained interest rates at first as inflation rose in February 2024 and labor market data remained strong, dampening expectations of rate cuts at the beginning of the year. Large-cap equities continued to perform well into the second quarter 2024. The consumer price index (“CPI”) increased by 0.3% in April but remained flat from April to May, while the unemployment rate rose slightly from 3.9% to 4.0%. The Fed kept rates unchanged, leading to a rally in large-cap stocks, though small-cap equities lagged due to reduced rate cut expectations in the second quarter. The third quarter of 2024 saw a mixture of optimism and caution. A weaker CPI in July extended the bull market, but a disappointing jobs report in August raised concerns about an economic slowdown. Market volatility increased due to geopolitical risks and U.S. Presidential Election developments. The Fed cut rates by 50 basis points in September 2024, boosting equity markets to new highs. In the fourth quarter of 2024, U.S. equities remained positive despite sell-offs in October and December. A strong November rally followed Donald Trump's reelection, benefiting sectors aligned with his economic agenda. The Fed cut rates by 50 basis points across November and December, while still aiming to achieve it's goal of reducing inflation to it's 2% target. The Federal Open Market Committee revised its 2025 rate cut projections from four to two, causing a December selloff as investors adjusted to expectations of persistent inflation. Labor market conditions eased, with unemployment at 4.2% in November 2024. |
