Defined Contribution Plan, transfer out to SIPP?

I have a Defined Contribution Plan pot which currently is about £16k. No more payments are being made into it as I have joined the Defined Benefit Cash Balance Scheme. I was told I can't move the DCP to my current DBCBS so it just sits there. I want to know if there is away to move the money from the DCP to something like the LISA where I could invest that £16k into stocks and shares myself? I'm 43 so it looks like it's too late for the LISA but is there something similar I could utilise?

Thank you!

    You could use a pension if the existing pension doesnt have the investment options you want.

    'Sits there' invested in what type of funds?
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
