Investopedia Says
Investopedia explains Allocational Efficiency
In order to be allocationally efficient, a market must meet the prerequisites of being both informationally efficient (where much is known by all), and transactionally or operationally efficient (where transaction costs are reasonable and fair). If all conditions are met, capital flows will direct themselves to the places where they will be the most effective, providing an optimal risk/reward scenario for investors.
