Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | | How did the fund perform? Parnassus Core Equity Fund (Investor Shares) returned 18.52% (net of fees) for the year, underperforming the S&P 500 Index’s 25.02%. Stock selection in the Financials and Communication Services sector held back relative returns, as did an overweight to Materials. Conversely, a lack of exposure to the Energy sector and underweights in the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors buoyed relative performance. We continue to see attractive opportunities across the Materials and Financials sectors while opportunistically taking advantage of volatility in Information Technology. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | | How did the fund perform? Parnassus Fixed Income Fund (Investor shares) returned 1.92% (net of fees) for the year, outperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s 1.25% return. Corporate bonds were the primary drivers of outperformance, supported by both the Fund’s overweight position and favorable security selection. Within corporates, Financial Services and Industrial Bonds stood out as strong contributors, reflecting the impact of favorable credit spreads and robust fundamentals. Security selection within Treasuries, however, modestly detracted from performance, with the portfolio's longer-duration exposure encountering headwinds from rising yields. A stable monetary policy environment and easing uncertainty around key fiscal policies should support continued moderation in mortgage price volatility. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the fund perform? Parnassus Core Select ETF returned -4.11% on a net asset value (“NAV”) basis and returned -3.91% on a market price basis, underperforming the S&P 500 Index’s -3.26%, since its launch on December 11, 2024 through December 31, 2024. The underperformance was primarily driven by the Information Technology sector, offset somewhat by the Communication Services sector. The most notable overweights included Materials, Industrials and Financials and the largest underweights were in the Consumer Staples, Energy and Communication Services sectors. We take a balanced approach to positioning the portfolio in neither an overly offensive or defensive way given the market environment, and our conviction reflects the companies we think offer the highest-quality businesses at the most attractive valuations for their growth potential over the long term. | | |
