What funds to sell to become MF?

hi all

I posted the below on the savings forum but thought just as relevant for here as it is the target and some of you may have had similar experiences, if so would love to hear them!

Hi all, hoping to gain some wisdom from you learned souls as I have up until this point always invested but never thought about withdrawing.

Our fixed rate mortgage ends in sept and we are inclined to pay it all off (c£65k) due to the current unappetising rates.

We have c. £50k in cash and c.£55k in s&sisa split as below.

hsbc adventurous - £18.7k

Hsbc dynamic - £13.6k

VG LS80 - £11.5k

Vg global all cap £7.6k

vg global small cap £2.3k

marlborough uk micro cap £1.9k

Argon ethical equity £700

What combination of cash and what shares would you sell to make up the £65k to clear the mortgage?

any thoughts or insight much appreciated.
