| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | Management's Discussion of Fund Performance The following discussion compares the performance of the Fund to a custom blend of 40% Russell 1000 Value Index, 20% Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index, 20% Bloomberg US Mortgage Backed Securities Index and 20% Bloomberg Emerging Markets Seasoned ex Aggregate/Eurodollar Index (the "Blended Index") to show how the Fund’s performance compares to the returns of similar investments for the reporting period. See the Average Annual Total Returns table below for the returns of the Fund and related indexes, including the S&P 500 Index which tracks the stock performance of 500 of the largest companies listed on stock exchanges in the U.S., and the Bloomberg US Universal Bond Index which covers USD-denominated, taxable bonds that are rated either investment grade or high-yield. The Fund seeks to provide current income and long-term growth of income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by primarily investing in both equity and fixed-income securities that have relatively high current income potential. Top Contributors to Performance ■ An overweight allocation to equity securities and an underweight allocation to fixed income securities had a positive impact on Fund relative performance. ■ Yield curve positioning and duration management contributed positively to Fund relative performance. ■ Equity security selection in the Communication Services, Information Technology and Consumer Staples sectors had a positive impact on Fund relative performance as did underweight allocations to the Health Care, Energy and Materials sectors. Top Detractors from Performance ■ Equity security selection negatively impacted Fund relative performance with the largest detractors from the Industrials, Health Care and Utilities sectors. ■ Equity sector allocation detracted from Fund relative performance with the largest detractors from underweights in the Financials and Industrials sectors and an overweight in the Information Technology sector. ■ Within fixed income, an overweight allocation to investment grade corporates had a negative impact on Fund relative performance as did security selection in the high yield and emerging markets asset classes. |
| Performance Past Does Not Indicate Future [Text] | Keep in mind that the Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. |

| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | Management's Discussion of Fund Performance The following discussion compares the performance of the Fund to a custom blend of 40% Russell 1000 Value Index, 20% Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index, 20% Bloomberg US Mortgage Backed Securities Index and 20% Bloomberg Emerging Markets Seasoned ex Aggregate/Eurodollar Index (the "Blended Index") to show how the Fund’s performance compares to the returns of similar investments for the reporting period. See the Average Annual Total Returns table below for the returns of the Fund and related indexes, including the S&P 500 Index which tracks the stock performance of 500 of the largest companies listed on stock exchanges in the U.S., and the Bloomberg US Universal Bond Index which covers USD-denominated, taxable bonds that are rated either investment grade or high-yield. The Fund seeks to provide current income and long-term growth of income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by primarily investing in both equity and fixed-income securities that have relatively high current income potential. Top Contributors to Performance ■ An overweight allocation to equity securities and an underweight allocation to fixed income securities had a positive impact on Fund relative performance. ■ Yield curve positioning and duration management contributed positively to Fund relative performance. ■ Equity security selection in the Communication Services, Information Technology and Consumer Staples sectors had a positive impact on Fund relative performance as did underweight allocations to the Health Care, Energy and Materials sectors. Top Detractors from Performance ■ Equity security selection negatively impacted Fund relative performance with the largest detractors from the Industrials, Health Care and Utilities sectors. ■ Equity sector allocation detracted from Fund relative performance with the largest detractors from underweights in the Financials and Industrials sectors and an overweight in the Information Technology sector. ■ Within fixed income, an overweight allocation to investment grade corporates had a negative impact on Fund relative performance as did security selection in the high yield and emerging markets asset classes. |
