| Bar Chart and Performance Table [Heading] | <span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-family:Arial;font-size:7.5pt;margin-left:0.0pt;text-transform:uppercase;">Performance</span> |
| Performance Narrative [Text Block] | The bar chart and table below provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing: (a) changes in the performance of the Fund’s Institutional Shares from year to year; and (b) how the average annual total returns of the Fund’s Institutional Shares compare to those of a broad-based securities market index. The Fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Performance reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. In addition, performance reflects Fund level expenses but does not reflect the fees and expenses associated with any variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy that uses the Fund as an investment option for any contract or policy. Had performance reflected all of those fees and expenses, performance would have been reduced. Updated performance information is available at no cost at am.gs.com or by calling the phone number on the back cover of the Prospectus. |
