| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ US equities registered impressive returns in 2024, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 25% against the backdrop of robust economic growth, disinflation progress, and US Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. It was the second straight year of 20% returns for the S&P 500 Index, the first time that has occurred since 1999. Mega-cap growth stocks drove the S&P 500 Index’s outsized returns, underpinned by ongoing optimism over the earnings potential of artificial intelligence. ■ International equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, delivered a modest gain of 3.82% in 2024, underperforming US equities by a rather wide margin. Slowing economic momentum contributed to low-single-digit equity returns in Europe, while an end to deflation and corporate governance reforms led to more impressive gains in Japan. Emerging market equities were up 7.5% despite economic struggles in China, which were offset by optimism over the potential policy response such as monetary easing. ■ Top-level allocation between segments positively contributed to the Portfolio’s performance relative the MSCI World Index during the period. A small overweight allocation to US large-cap growth was the main positive driver of Portfolio performance. A small underweight allocation to international growth was also a positive, as it lagged both the international and growth segments. ■ Exposure to US value stocks was a drag on performance relative to US growth stocks in the domestic space but outperformed both international growth and value stocks. Subadvisor performance struggled throughout the period. For the Portfolio’s domestic equity subadvisors, the dominance of the “Magnificent Seven” mega-cap technology stocks detracted from performance, as subadvisers maintained consistently underweight allocations to these stocks. The Portfolio’s international equity subadvisors struggled due to underweight allocations in China, as well as underweight allocations to high-growth names within the growth style. Stock selection detracted from relative performance across subadvisors. |

While there were short periods where market breadth appeared to broaden, a narrow subset of mega-cap stocks led the way during the reporting period, much like they did in 2023. ■ While large-cap equities led returns across the market spectrum, growth equities as a style continued to outperform value equities, with the Russell Midcap Growth Index and Russell Midcap Value Index returning 22.10% and 13.07%, respectively, during the year. Within the Russell Midcap Growth Index, the utilities and technology sectors led returns while the telecommunications and health care sectors lagged. ■ The Portfolio underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index during the year. As concentration within the Index became historically high, the Portfolio’s underexposure to large benchmark names detracted from its relative performance. Seven of the top-10-performing securities in the Russell Midcap Growth Index were unowned or underweight in the Portfolio for most of the reporting period. Stock selection in the technology and industrials sectors was the top detractor from Portfolio performance, with underweight positions in Palantir Technologies , Inc . and Axon Enterprise , Inc. representing the most significant detraction from Portfolio performance on an individual stock basis. ■ Conversely, stock selection within the financials and telecommunications sectors contributed positively to the Portfolio’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap Growth Index, with overweight positions in Robinhood Markets , Inc. and Atlassian Corp. leading the way. ■ The portfolio managers aimed to strategically position the Portfolio to capitalize on a potential broadening of benchmark leadership with exposure across enduring growth franchises and areas with lower expectations, such as certain segments of consumer, housing, and software. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ In the year ended December 31, 2024, the S&P 500 Index achieved its second consecutive year of returns exceeding 20.0%, marking the S&P 500 Index’s best back-to-back performance since 1997-1998. While there were short periods where market breadth appeared to broaden, a narrow subset of mega-cap stocks led the way during the reporting period, much like they did in 2023. ■ While large-cap equities led returns across the market spectrum, growth equities as a style continued to outperform value equities, with the Russell Midcap Growth Index and Russell Midcap Value Index returning 22.10% and 13.07%, respectively, during the year. Within the Russell Midcap Growth Index, the utilities and technology sectors led returns while the telecommunications and health care sectors lagged. ■ The Portfolio underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index during the year. As concentration within the Index became historically high, the Portfolio’s underexposure to large benchmark names detracted from its relative performance. Seven of the top-10-performing securities in the Russell Midcap Growth Index were unowned or underweight in the Portfolio for most of the reporting period. Stock selection in the technology and industrials sectors was the top detractor from Portfolio performance, with underweight positions in Palantir Technologies , Inc . and Axon Enterprise , Inc. representing the most significant detraction from Portfolio performance on an individual stock basis. ■ Conversely, stock selection within the financials and telecommunications sectors contributed positively to the Portfolio’s performance relative to the Russell Midcap Growth Index, with overweight positions in Robinhood Markets , Inc. and Atlassian Corp. leading the way. ■ The portfolio managers aimed to strategically position the Portfolio to capitalize on a potential broadening of benchmark leadership with exposure across enduring growth franchises and areas with lower expectations, such as certain segments of consumer, housing, and software. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ US stocks had a volatile end to 2024 but ultimately saw positive performance and finished the reporting period with strong gains. While the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index experienced late-term volatility, it still closed the year ended December 31, 2024 with positive total returns. ■ The Portfolio’s overweight allocation to equities positively contributed to the Portfolio’s performance relative to its Custom Blended Index during the reporting period. The Portfolio increased its equity exposure in the first quarter of 2024 and retained the overweight allocation over the year, while also reducing its exposure to fixed income. The underweight allocation to fixed income was a steady contributor to performance, notwithstanding a temporary pullback in equities during the summer. ■ The Portfolio’s off-benchmark position in international equities was generally flat for most of the reporting period before turning negative in the final months of 2024. Non-US stocks underperformed US equities in the run-up to, and following, the US presidential election. ■ The Portfolio held a very modest position in S&P 500 Index futures, which provided flexibility to manage the equity exposure and had a slightly positive impact on performance. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ US stocks had a volatile end to 2024 but ultimately saw positive performance and finished the reporting period with strong gains. While the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index experienced late-term volatility, it still closed the year ended December 31, 2024 with positive total returns. ■ The Portfolio’s overweight allocation to equities positively contributed to the Portfolio’s performance relative to its Custom Blended Index during the reporting period. The Portfolio increased its equity exposure in the first quarter of 2024 and retained the overweight allocation over the year, while also reducing its exposure to fixed income. The underweight allocation to fixed income was a steady contributor to performance, notwithstanding a temporary pullback in equities during the summer. ■ The Portfolio’s off-benchmark position in international equities was generally flat for most of the reporting period before turning negative in the final months of 2024. Non-US stocks underperformed US equities in the run-up to, and following, the US presidential election. ■ The Portfolio held a very modest position in S&P 500 Index futures, which provided flexibility to manage the equity exposure and had a slightly positive impact on performance. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ During the reporting period, market expectations for both the timing and number of interest rate cuts fluctuated significantly as inflation slowed and employment data showed some signs of softening. The US Federal Reserve's easing cycle began in September of 2024 with a 50-basis points (bps) (one basis point equals 0.01%) rate cut followed by two separate 25-bps cuts. These rate cuts came after a re-steepening of the US Treasury curve and greater market volatility due to election and fiscal uncertainty. As demand for yield remained robust, credit spreads largely tightened, and performance across fixed income sectors was positive. ■ Security selection and sector allocation were the main drivers of the Portfolio’s outperformance versus the Bloomberg US Government Bond Index during the reporting period. Overweight allocations to, and security selection in, the collateralized loan obligations AAA rated and non-agency AAA rated sectors, along with security selection in US Treasuries, were the largest contributors. ■ Duration (duration measures the sensitivity of the price—the value of principal—of a bond to a change in interest rates) and yield curve positioning (a yield curve is a line graph that illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities. It is created by plotting the yields of different maturities for the same type of bonds) detracted from the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period. An overweight allocation to mortgage-backed securities also detracted from performance. ■ During the reporting period, the Portfolio used interest rate swaps to help manage duration and yield curve exposure, which had a negligible impact on performance. The Portfolio used futures to manage interest rate risk, which we believe is a more efficient way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchases and sales of bonds. The use of futures detracted from performance. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ During the reporting period, market expectations for both the timing and number of interest rate cuts fluctuated significantly as inflation slowed and employment data showed some signs of softening. The US Federal Reserve's easing cycle began in September of 2024 with a 50-basis points (bps) (one basis point equals 0.01%) rate cut followed by two separate 25-bps cuts. These rate cuts came after a re-steepening of the US Treasury curve and greater market volatility due to election and fiscal uncertainty. As demand for yield remained robust, credit spreads largely tightened, and performance across fixed income sectors was positive. ■ Security selection and sector allocation were the main drivers of the Portfolio’s outperformance versus the Bloomberg US Government Bond Index during the reporting period. Overweight allocations to, and security selection in, the collateralized loan obligations AAA rated and non-agency AAA rated sectors, along with security selection in US Treasuries, were the largest contributors. ■ Duration (duration measures the sensitivity of the price—the value of principal—of a bond to a change in interest rates) and yield curve positioning (a yield curve is a line graph that illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities. It is created by plotting the yields of different maturities period. An overweight allocation to mortgage-backed securities also detracted from performance. ■ During the reporting period, the Portfolio used interest rate swaps to help manage duration and yield curve exposure, which had a negligible impact on performance. The Portfolio used futures to manage interest rate risk, which we believe is a more efficient way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchases and sales of bonds. The use of futures detracted from performance. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ US high yield bonds posted strong total returns over the reporting period amid resilient economic growth, stable corporate earnings, and light net new supply compared with inflows of approximately $16 billion into high yield bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Lower-quality bonds generally outperformed higher-quality bonds, with CCC-rated bonds outperforming both BB-rated and B-rated bonds. ■ During the reporting period, security selection in the electric utilities, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and cable and satellite sectors contributed to returns relative to the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 1% Issuer Capped Index. An overweight allocation to, and security selection in, the emerging markets high yield bond sector also contributed positively to the Portfolio’s performance. ■ An underweight allocation to the US high yield bond market detracted from performance, as did security selection in the media and entertainment, chemicals, and midstream energy sectors. ■ During the reporting period, the Portfolio used US Treasury futures and total return swaps to manage interest rate risk, which we believe is a more efficient way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchase and sale of bonds. The impact of futures and swaps detracted from performance. The Portfolio also used credit derivatives in the form of the Credit Default Swap Index (CDX) and credit default swaps to manage the overall risk profile of the Portfolio, which had a positive impact on performance. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ Equity market prices increased over the reporting period, ending the year at near-record levels, as investors reacted positively to the slowing pace of inflation and sustained economic growth. The US Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds rate at each of its last three meetings in 2024, reducing the effective level of the funds rate from 5.3% to 4.3%. Equities—especially in cyclical and interest-rate-sensitive sectors of the market—responded favorably to the moves, along with the perceived pro-business stance of the incoming administration and steady growth in economic conditions during the reporting period. The year ended December 31, 2024 saw a repeat of the major equity market themes that have persisted since the end of the global financial crisis (2007-2009) with growth outperforming value, large caps outperforming small caps, and US securities outperforming non-US securities. ■ The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, over the reporting period. Security selection within the communication services (primarily entertainment holdings), utilities (driven by independent power and renewable electricity producers), and energy (led by oil, gas, and consumable fuels sectors), along with an underweight to health care, all contributed to the Portfolio’s outperformance of its benchmark. On an absolute performance basis, positions within information technology (especially semiconductors and semiconductor equipment and hardware, storage, and peripherals) were the primary drivers of performance. ■ Conversely, the Portfolio’s security selection in consumer discretionary (led by broadline retail), financials (especially banks), and industrials (primarily electrical equipment) detracted the most from relative results during the reporting period. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ Equity market prices increased over the reporting period, ending the year at near-record levels, as investors reacted positively to the slowing pace of inflation and sustained economic growth. The US Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds rate at each of its last three meetings in 2024, reducing the effective level of the funds rate from 5.3% to 4.3%. Equities—especially in cyclical and interest-rate-sensitive sectors of the market—responded favorably to the moves, along with the perceived pro-business stance of the incoming administration and steady growth in economic conditions during the reporting period. The year ended December 31, 2024 saw a repeat of the major equity market themes that have persisted since the end of the global financial crisis (2007-2009) with growth outperforming value, large caps outperforming small caps, and US securities outperforming non-US securities. ■ The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, over the reporting period. Security selection within the communication services (primarily entertainment holdings), utilities (driven by independent power and renewable electricity producers), and energy (led by oil, gas, and consumable fuels sectors), along with an underweight to health care, all contributed to the Portfolio’s outperformance of its benchmark. On an absolute performance basis, positions within information technology (especially semiconductors and semiconductor equipment and hardware, storage, and peripherals) were the primary drivers of performance. ■ Conversely, the Portfolio’s security selection in consumer discretionary (led by broadline retail), financials (especially banks), and industrials (primarily electrical equipment) detracted the most from relative results during the reporting period. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ Positive investor reactions to a slowing pace of inflation and sustained economic growth led to increased capital asset prices over the reporting period, with equities ending the year at near-record levels. The US Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds interest rate at each of its last three meetings, bringing the effective level down from 5.3% at the start of the year to 4.3% as of December 31, 2024. Equities responded favorably to the moves, especially in interest-rate-sensitive sectors. The strength of corporate profits overall has been an important contributor to performance amidst the sustained growth of the US economy. Employment has remained at healthy levels throughout the period, although there have been signs of weakening in the past six months. While the rate of inflation declined during the reporting period, this trend has flattened out in recent months. ■ The Portfolio’s positions within the information technology sector (especially semiconductors and semiconductor equipment) added the most to the Portfolio’s strong absolute performance during the reporting period. Relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the Index), security selection within the health care (led by health care equipment and supplies), communication services (especially entertainment), and consumer staples (distribution and retail and personal care products) sectors was the largest contributor to the Portfolio’s performance. ■ While the Portfolio had strong absolute performance for 2024, relative results fell short of the Index for the period. Compared to the Index, the Portfolio’s stock selection within the consumer discretionary (led by broadline retail and textiles, apparel, and luxury goods) and industrials (driven by aerospace and defense) sectors detracted from relative performance. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ Positive investor reactions to a slowing pace of inflation and sustained economic growth led to increased capital asset prices over the reporting period, with equities ending the year at near-record levels. The US Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds interest rate at each of its last three meetings, bringing the effective level down from 5.3% at the start of the year to 4.3% as of December 31, 2024. Equities responded favorably to the moves, especially in interest-rate-sensitive sectors. The strength of corporate profits overall has been an important contributor to performance amidst the sustained growth of the US economy. Employment has remained at healthy levels throughout the period, although there have been signs of weakening in the past six months. While the rate of inflation declined during the reporting period, this trend has flattened out in recent months. ■ The Portfolio’s positions within the information technology sector (especially semiconductors and semiconductor equipment) added the most to the Portfolio’s strong absolute performance during the reporting period. Relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the Index), security selection within the health care (led by health care equipment and supplies), communication services (especially entertainment), and consumer staples (distribution and retail and personal care products) sectors was the largest contributor to the Portfolio’s performance. ■ While the Portfolio had strong absolute performance for 2024, relative results fell short of the Index for the period. Compared to the Index, the Portfolio’s stock selection within the consumer discretionary (led by broadline retail and textiles, apparel, and luxury goods) and industrials (driven by aerospace and defense) sectors detracted from relative performance. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ During the reporting period, market expectations for both the timing and number of interest rate cuts fluctuated significantly as inflation slowed and employment data showed some signs of softening. The US Federal Reserve's easing cycle began in September of 2024 with a 50-basis points (bps) (one basis point equals 0.01%) rate cut followed by two separate 25-bps cuts. These rate cuts came after a re-steepening of the US Treasury curve and greater market volatility due to election and fiscal uncertainty. As demand for yield remained robust, credit spreads largely tightened and performance across fixed income sectors was positive. ■ Security selection and sector allocation were the main drivers of the Portfolio’s outperformance versus the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index during the reporting period. Overweight allocations to, and security selection in, the collateralized loan obligations AAA rated, non-agency collateralized mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) AAA rated, US investment grade corporate bond, and non-agency CMBS AA-and-below sectors contributed the most to performance. Security selection in US high yield bonds and an overweight allocation to emerging markets high yield bonds also contributed significantly to performance. ■ Duration (duration measures the sensitivity of the price—the value of principal—of a bond to a change in interest rates) and yield curve positioning (a yield curve is a line graph that illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities and is created by plotting the yields of different maturities for the same type of bonds) detracted from the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period. Selection in US Treasuries also detracted from performance. ■ During the reporting period, the Portfolio used total return and interest rate swaps to help manage duration and yield curve exposure. In aggregate, the use of these swaps had a negative impact on performance. In addition, the Portfolio used futures to manage interest rate risk, which we believe is a more efficient way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchase and sale of bonds. The use of futures had a negative impact on performance. The Portfolio also used credit derivatives in the form of the Credit Default Swap Index to manage credit risk, which detracted from performance. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ During the reporting period, market expectations for both the timing and number of interest rate cuts fluctuated significantly as inflation slowed and employment data showed some signs of softening. The US Federal Reserve's easing cycle began in September of 2024 with a 50-basis points (bps) (one basis point equals 0.01%) rate cut followed by two separate 25-bps cuts. These rate cuts came after a re-steepening of the US Treasury curve and greater market volatility due to election and fiscal uncertainty. As demand for yield remained robust, credit spreads largely tightened and performance across fixed income sectors was positive. ■ Security selection and sector allocation were the main drivers of the Portfolio’s outperformance versus the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index during the reporting period. Overweight allocations to, and security selection in, the collateralized loan obligations AAA rated, non-agency collateralized mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) AAA rated, US investment grade corporate bond, and non-agency CMBS AA-and-below sectors contributed the most to performance. Security selection in US high yield bonds and an overweight allocation to emerging markets high yield bonds also contributed significantly to performance. ■ Duration (duration measures the sensitivity of the price—the value of principal—of a bond to a change in interest rates) and yield curve positioning (a yield curve is a line graph that illustrates the relationship between the yields and maturities of fixed income securities and is created by plotting the yields of different maturities for the same type of bonds) detracted from the Portfolio’s performance during the reporting period. Selection in US Treasuries also detracted from performance. ■ During the reporting period, the Portfolio used total return and interest rate swaps to help manage duration and yield curve exposure. In aggregate, the use of these swaps had a negative impact on performance. In addition, the Portfolio used futures to manage interest rate risk, which we believe is a more efficient way of managing interest rate risk than through the purchase and sale of bonds. The use of futures had a negative impact on performance. The Portfolio also used credit derivatives in the form of the Credit Default Swap Index to manage credit risk, which detracted from performance. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | WHAT AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD? ■ The reporting period started off strong for domestic equity markets. Anticipation of US Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cuts, slowing inflation, and the excitement of artificial intelligence resulted in strong returns in the first quarter of 2024, especially for large-cap stocks. ■ The second quarter of the reporting period started off weak due to renewed inflation concerns and tensions in the Middle East. Performance for mega-cap stocks rebounded as Fed Chair Powell eased concerns about further interest rate tightening. Interest rates held steady during the second quarter, and the market reduced its expectations for further interest rate cuts in 2024. Large-cap stocks finished higher than small-cap stocks during the second quarter, as smaller companies were more affected by the reduced outlook for interest rate cuts. ■ Fed policy again dominated headlines and acted as the main catalyst for equity returns in the third quarter of the reporting period. The Fed lowered interest rates by 50 basis points (bps), matching investor expectations. While all segments of the domestic equity market responded positively, smaller companies were the standout. ■ Equity performance was mixed in the final quarter of 2024. Equities experienced a post-election bump early in the quarter, but hawkish comments from the Fed led to a domestic equity market pullback ending with small gains in the large-cap segment. Small caps were slightly negative. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the S&P 500 Index returned 25.02% while the S&P 600 Index was up 8.70%. ■ The Portfolio used stock index futures to equitize cash and enhance portfolio liquidity, which had a negligible effect on performance. |
